So, Mr. Putin doesn't think Iran should have nuclear weapons.
So he agrees with Mr. Bush! The summit is a success!
But then again -- did any reporter point this out to either leader? -- Mr. Putin doesn't think Iran has any plans to build nuclear weapons, either.
How come journalists let both Bush and Putin off the hook so easily with these word games? Surely this sophisticated press corps knows it is being used. Yet they report the whole empty ritual of the "summit" in an absolute deadpan, with the White House spin reported as if were the absolute objective truth.
