Bush and Blair couldn't get it done for the same reason Obama and Gordon Brown haven't be able to - the Chinese and Russians have too many financial interests in Iran and will veto proposed sanctions. Strong enough support from other members in the Security Council (and UN as a whole)needs to exist and they must step up and put pressure on the Chinese and Russians.
Don't worry JD, Bush looked into Putin's soul and he's a trusty fellow who I'm sure we share much common ground with.

Not sure what he saw when he looked at the Chinese people.
