The best long term result will come if we can avoid a war between the US, Israel and Iran. Over the last two centuries, a strong Iran has been a force for regional stability and a check on Russian southern expansion.

But it's very, very easy to have doubts about the timing weeks before the election. One does not have to be much of a cynic to doubt.

Saudi Arabia is not really our friend and could use some serious competition.

They must be thinking how smart they are to create that news ahead of Monday’s debate...I’m sure it was double agent Valerie Jarrett’s idea, one last ditched effort to save Obama which would in turn help save her beloved Iran. Sounds like good diplomacy, but let me get this straight, Iran is promising to have talks after the election about their nuclear program. It must mean they will have enough enriched uranium for a bomb by the end of October.

Hold on a bit. Am I crazy, or was it the U. S. who was doing the refusing on bilateral talks? You mean to say we’ve been begging all along to get Iran to talk to us personally, and only now Iran has decided to honor that request? If this is supposed to be an October surprise, it ranks right up there with the leaves changing color.

This has been in all the middle eastern press for 2 weeks. Even a couple European outlets have carried it. The deal is reported to be: Iran promises to halt enrichment and Zero drops the sanctions. No one will be doing any checking on Iran until late November. Win, Win for Zero and Tehran. Heads you lose, tails you lose for Israel and the USA.

This is easy for Romney during the ever-so-coincidental debate Monday night; "THERE'S NO NEGOTIATING WITH TERRORISTS." Look what associating with 'Arab Spring' got us..

0bama bombed Libya without Congressional approval and all he got was a dead Ambassador's bloody T-shirt.

It wasn’t Iranians flying those planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
