IN his "first message to the Muslim world" Tuesday, President Obama on Al-Arabiya TV invited the Is lamic Republic in Iran to "unclench its fist" and accept his offer of "un conditional talks."
A few hours later, after Obama had appeared on the Saudi-owned satellite-TV channel, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a crowd of militants that no talks are possible unless the United States met a set of conditions.
He demanded a formal apology for unspecified US "crimes"

No, he’s far worse than Jimmy - Jimmy didn’t possess any ties to Islam.
First phone call after swearing in, it is said was to or from Abbas (Hamas), first sit down Interview.. Al Aribiya. I didn’t hear about the Arabic satellite channel.
this proves I’m right.. my new tag explains it
Bambi will bow
They know a weak horse all full of BS when the see it.
With Kennedy, I actually wept.
With Johnson, I began to suspect corruption.
With Carter, I endured the stupidity.
With Clinton, I fought to defeat the left.
With this fool, I find myself lost in another country.
Trust me on this Obama is much worse than peanuts. I hate to say it but it is true
Heh. President Obama won’t get any further in the Arabized Persian Bazaar than any other president. But with the Democrats cuts against defense likely on the way, he might end up drafting an unprecedentedly large army.
You still live in America. Act like it.
We’re in for a world of hurt.
BTW Hamas has just started xmitting on shortwave in the past week.
Location is yet unknown. They seem to be beaming at the Med.
Look out Europe
Jimmy does now. I think he’s the official Dhimme in Residence, or Footrug, or something.
Stay tough. If you stand for nothing you will fall for anything.
Bart.
How does a horse get full of BS? A constipated bull might without meaning to, but a horse would have to really work at it. Just taking your metaphor a little further. Heh.
He'll be reminded. The notion that the Democrats represent a nicer set of internationalist good guys was always a pathetic high school fantasy. Liberal, enlightened, above it all, and the world was only prevented from rainbows and unicorns by that nasty George W. Bush. It was longing for peace. Yearning to open its collective arms and embrace the new progressive future. There are adults who actually believe this.
I think that Mr. Obama is slowly becoming aware that despite his best intentions and the stalwart insistence of the NY Times there is a very large group of people who don't like Americans simply because we are Americans. Someday he may come to the realization that he is an American himself and that it applies to him too, and that stammering "B-but I'm on your side!" doesn't cut a lot of ice with the guys in the ski masks.
The Clintons or Blago will bring this fool down I suspect. I could be wrong however. We will see.
Since I’m too exasperated to get angry at this point, I will just find this hilarious. Obama says he will meet with them without conditions. Seeing this as an obvious sign of weakness, the Muslims of course will take the initiative to demand he meet their conditions!
The whole Arab/Muslim mindset is very big on showing strength and manliness. That’s one reason why being defeated by the puny state of Israel over and over is so humiliating to them. Obama’s actions to them say “I’m not a man”, so they are asserting themselves as the power player in the relationship, as they would at any similar opportunity. Obama, you have just become Ahmadinejad’s b*tch, now hand over your fruit cup!
**Stay tough.**
At least until they start building the “FOOT BATHS” in the White House... then it’s Every man for himself!!!!!
God Help America!!
They know a weak horse all full of BS when the see it.
That is why he is called Barrak Obama (BO)
and not Barry Sotero (BS)
If you are a super power, you will have allies and enemies. The allies will look to you for protection. The enemies will be your allies’ enemies, too, and wish to harm them. If you capitulate to the enemies in the hopes of making them your friends, they will no longer even respect you, and will take that as a green light to attack your allies. Your allies will realize that they cannot rely on your protection, and stop being your allies. The result will be war and chaos all over the globe. “He that wishes peace must prepare for war.” Tacitus knew that two thousand years ago. Have an epiphany before it’s too late, donkey-boy.
Yeah, that was a pretty convoluted metaphor, wasn’t it? LOL!
Osama is going to fold like a cheap camera. He’ll capitulate to Iran.
A Bohican currently occupies the Oval Office.
He is going to Boheek to Ahmadinejad
He is going to Boheek to Castro
He is going to Boheek to Chavez
He might even do all of this Boheeking in the same week!
How? Insights to share?
**pretty convoluted metaphor**
NAH .. it’s just a Ballgame of a different color
Amen. Obama is his own worst enemy. Carter was and look where he is. a pathetic old fart looking for a legacy that will never come. If I am wrong you can sue me.
Hussein would sell his own grandmother (of any color) to the cheapest bidder if he thought it would appease. Throw in the little girls and Dear Wife and it’s a done deal.
Has Jimmy embraced the Profit (sic) yet?
Stay true to yourself. This country survived worse Than Obama.
But Amir Taheri is just another arrogant westerner, who knows nothing of the language and culture of Iran. That’s why he no longer lives there, and has to watch his back.
Yes. Back when Obama was campaigning. look it up.
Done, though it takes me in a different direction than I’ve gone before. Sad to say, I think we’re going into uncharted waters and we may not survive - not as America, anyway.
George Washington may have thought that a time or two. But he never gave up. Chew on that.
“Bambi will bow”
We’ll have to start calling him DUMB’O! What a sucker!!
It’s rational to negotiate with one’s enemies if your interlocutor is rational. But the Iranian mullahs embody a sort of collective insanity. They are very serious about eradicating Israel. Israel may be to them the “little Satan,” but America is the “great Satan.” They laughed at George Bush when he promised he would not allow them to produce a nuclear arsenal. They may have such weapons very soon. This will make them the major power in the Middle
East and perhaps start an arms race in that extremely unstable area. They could export these weapons to rogue states or terrorist groups. Obama will just kick the can down the road by flattering them with recognition. They’ve certainly examined Obama and probably know they can convince him that any talks are “sincere.” And is Obama unaware that the actions of the last several years - including sanctions - have all been futile? I personally believe that with Obama the Iranians know they’ve been given a green light. It’s all over - just a question of when the weapons will be revealed.
Oh, I’m not giving up. I’m shifting gears and steering a new course. Unfortunately, many of the allies I once knew are going to be left behind.
Actually, I've always thought of that approach as a poor tactical choice for a lot of reasons.(some of which I cannot name here.)
No, when that happens it's time to organize some SERIOUS political and public opposition.
Remember, United we stand, divided we fall.
And who would those Be?
Those who cling to the Republican Party and all it acts upon - instead of what it stands for.
Unreal. This is exactly how it was laid out in the debates. McCain said Obama was being naive by proposing direct talks with Iran, he would be elevating and empowering them and making us look weak in the process. Now Obama has done exactly that, and the Iranians have too.
What, exactly, is Obama’s larger strategy here? He offered his hand and they left him hanging. Now what? Apologies?
I think he’s just out -Cartered Carter.
I do believe that Obama will be brought down. I don’t think he will make it 4 yrs in office. Too much corruption. The media was able to cover for him for 1 yr. But his own arrogance will lead to his destruction. Don’t forget Tony Rezko is still around to talk.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Ahmadinejad comes out as a crafty chess player giving Obama a black eye and Obama comes out of this as a naive fool outfoxed by a radical nut that the world was laughing at. Score one win for Iran. With all our expertise in the new administration it’s unbelievable that they allowed our President to make such a fool of himself, so soon.
His mama and papa made a fool, and it was him.
“’Has Jimmy embraced the Profit (sic) yet?’
Yes. Back when Obama was campaigning. look it up.”
This was all I found.

Can we take this up later? I have bigger fish to fry right now.
