The official Pentagon statement is that President Bush is not looking at any military solutions in the near future and that the plans reported in the NYT are only contingency plans and are not yet operational.

I feel that the diplomatic track record of this administration holds little promise for any non military solutions.

Sources in the White House have said that President Bush has used the words "messianic" and "Hitler" in describing the president of Iran.

I will have to illustrate the pot calling the kettle black.
