Iran: Obama’s Offer To Talk A US “Failure”
By Wyatt Earp | January 31, 2009
Apparently, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not down with the HopeyChange.
I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. You cannot talk, deal or negotiate with Iran while Ahmadinnerjacket is in power.
The same can be said for al Qaeda. There is no bargaining with them. It’s either their way . . . or death.
US President Barack Obama’s offer to talk to Iran shows that America’s policy of “domination” has failed, the government spokesman said on Saturday.
“This request means Western ideology has become passive, that capitalist thought and the system of domination have failed,” Gholam Hossein Elham was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.
“Negotiation is secondary, the main issue is that there is no way but for (the United States) to change,” he added.
Well, at least Iran is picking up on the Obama talking points.
After nearly three decades of severed ties, Obama said shortly after taking office this month that he is willing to extend a diplomatic hand to Tehran if the Islamic republic is ready to “unclench its fist”.
In response, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad launched a fresh tirade against the United States, demanding an apology for its “crimes” against Iran and saying he expected “deep and fundamental” change from Obama. (H/T – Breitbart)
Therein lies the problem. Iran was energized by Obama’s offer, because they see it as a sign of weakness. For Ahmadinejad, there’s blood in the water.
And the sharks are circling.

Somehow, I just don’t see Barack Obama learning anything from this turn of events. As with Carter, so goes Obama.

Well said. Thanks for the link. Seems like everyone jumped this story.

I think he just said it because he doesn’t want to have to have to be in the same room as Clinton when she goes to Iran for those unconditional talks.
Is it bad that I chuckled when I saw that headline? Arrogance would have never seen it coming, because arrogance doesn’t want to believe that something other than “the plan” and the “the vision” is what is going to happen.

Morgan – Carter was really, really bad though. I wonder if Obama will top him?
Captain – Probably because it is so damned embarrassing.
RT – Yeah, Hillary sure has her work cut out for her with this one. Better build a bomb shelter.
