Are Bush and his aides in step on Iran?

".....After President Bush's speech to Israel's parliament today, administration spokesmen found themselves scrambling to unscramble whether Bush and his secretaries of state and defense are reading from the same script when it comes to Iran.....
Only a day before Bush's speech, Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates said that the United States needs to "figure out a way to develop some leverage" over Iran "and then sit down and talk with them."......
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has been more explicit for months, saying that Bush is prepared to "reverse 27 years of policy" and allow her to meet face-to-face "anytime, anywhere" with her Iranian counterpart once Tehran embraces a U.N. Security Council demand to suspend its uranium enrichment project...."
