Obama has begun discreet talks with Iran, Syria
Obama has begun discreet talks with Iran, Syria - Yahoo! News UK
Officially, Obama's overtures toward both Tehran and Damascus have remained limited.
In an interview broadcast Monday, Obama said the United States would offer arch-foe Iran an extended hand of diplomacy if the Islamic Republic's leaders "unclenched their fist."
Meanwhile, his secretary of state Hillary Clinton warned that the Israeli-Syrian track of the Middle East peace negotiations took a back seat to the Israeli-Palestinian track, especially because of the recent war in Gaza.
However, even before winning the November 4 election, Obama unofficially used what experts call "track two" discussions to approach America's two foes in the region.
Awesome!
I doubt there are any campaign promises you want him to keep, Reverend.
Hmm...
Demand VA Eases Transition To Civilian Life
Ensure Adequate Number Of VA Clinics
Establish Standards For Caring For Brain-Injured Veterans
Fight Job Discrimination Against Guardsmen And Reservists
Fully Fund VA
Improve Care For Various Injuries And Women's Health Through VA
Improve Military's Mental Health Screening And Care
Improve VA Administrative Systems
Pass VA Budget On Time
Update Veterans Affairs Hospital System
For starters and that is just on one subject. There are plenty I wish for him to keep.
But please. Lets not to the "lets attack the poster so we can avoid discussion of Obama" dance. It is played, it is transparent, and it is boring.
What say you about this topic?
This is one campaign promise I wish he would break.
Iran has already balked at Obama. What do you all expect Syria to do? Where is the "compromise" anyway?
You would rather go to war with these countries? Thank god your side no longer governs.
Nope. But at the same time, I think trying to appease them and seeing the results of that is worse.
Perhaps there is another way.
Do you not know the difference between appeasement and dialogue? Do you have some inside information that we are "trying to appease them", or are you just fishing for hot buttons?
Hmm... I guess we will see then.... :lol:

All that about "lets avoid debating the poster" and this is the best you can contribute to the topic?
Once again, the liberal mindset of avoidance rears its ugly head.
This thread is not about me chuckles..... :2wave:
anyway. He is more or less right, I used the wrong word. Though I think opening talks was mistake, and given Irans response. I seem to be correct.....
What part of Iran's response leads you to believe opening talks was a mistake(if this is even true).
As I've seen it the only communication between the two countries has been in public speeches so Iran's "response" is a response to Obama being elected and not to any diplomatic correspondence, do you see it differently?.
Oh my bad, Where you in an isolation chamber since the election?:lol:
Iran Offers Cool Response To Obama's Overtures : NPR
Public dialogue =/ diplomatic relations. Due to its public nature there are many more reasons for public dialogue than simply diplomacy.
Do you think the Iranian president improves his chances of reelection by talking strong?
This is a rather ignorant statment.
We'll see come June.I think the Iranian president is in no trouble, given the mullah's support.
