There's a difference between ongoing rational engagement and this strange war that we have going on now. Basically, Bush is trying to find something he can win, while continuing to refuse to dirty himself with M.E. politics.
Right now, Turkey believes it has carte blanche and Bush won't move in to stop it, and Iran is pretty sure that Bush is a paper tiger who will not engage it militarily or politically. As a result, the two of them are going to have a nice change to screw up what's left of Iraq while Bush spends his time trying to sugar coat what he's gotten us into.
