MR. McCLELLAN: In what way? I think it's a separate issue. That's why I made it very clear that, one, the only purpose of any talks with Iran would be to specifically talk about our concerns that we have with the unhelpful role in their activities inside Iraq. And so that would be for that sole purpose. And that's why we made that very clear. I think it's important to make clear to people that are listening that this doesn't have anything to do with the other issues, such as the one that you brought up. The nuclear issue is an issue that the regime has with the world. The international community is concerned. The international community has spoken very clearly. They do not want to see the regime develop a nuclear weapon. And so you've seen the international community coming together and continuing to put pressure on the regime. And it's important that the international community continue to speak very clearly and to speak with one voice to make sure that the regime understands the concerns that we have about their pursuit of nuclear weapons.
