Obama's open door policy to Iranian negotiations a "bomb"

Well that didn't take long to "wait" in order to "see".... Iranian leadership, stolen elections and brutal Tiananman Sq tactics on dissent be damned, the big Zero - aka Eunuch in Chief - has decided to leave open the door with Iran over it's nuke program. From the WaPo article:

The Obama administration will leave open the door for discussions with Iran over its nuclear ambitions even as demonstrators question the legitimacy of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's re-election, administration officials said Sunday.

~~~

The legitimacy of the government, while questioned by the people of Iran, is not the critical issue for the U.S. goal of preventing Iran from developing a nuclear capability, Rice said.

"It's in the United States' national interest to make sure that we have employed all elements at our disposal, including diplomacy, to prevent Iran from achieving that nuclear capacity," she said.

Both Rice and David Axelrod, Obama's top adviser, said Ahmadinejad doesn't appear to have the final say over Iran's foreign policy. Axelrod, dismissing Ahmadinejad's harsh language against the U.S. and Obama as "bloviations," said being open to talks with Iran is not an effort to reward the country.

"We are looking to ... sit down and talk to the Iranians and offer them two paths. And one brings them back into the community of nations, and the other has some very stark consequences," Axelrod said.

White House officials pointed to Obama's remarks last week, urging engagement. "My expectation would be ... that you're going to continue to see some multilateral discussions with Iran," Obama said Friday.

This, of course, means the big Zero has thoroughly embarrassed his staunch supporters who post here on FA, parsing words and claiming Obama hadn't decided yet to deal with a regime who was not only illegitimate, but has demonstrated some of the most oppressive tactics we've seen in recent times on their young citizens. What was obvious to those of us not injecting the O'prozac was that he intended all along to deal with Ahmadinejad and Khamenei... regardless of the brutal treatment of the protesters and the Ayatollah's certification of a bogus election.

Axelrod, just today in a morning interview on "This Week" in Washington, reveals the WH's plan to parse words... er, Iranian leaders... by stressing Ahmadinejad isn't in charge of Iran's foreign policy, so they really aren't negotiating with anyone the world may consider in office illegitimately

Huh?

Is this some sort of a bizarre pass to the Ayatollah's culpability in all this? Afterall, this is the guy who hand picks acceptable Presidential candidates and abets the stolen election with his certification. And it was that same Ayatollah who is "in charge of foreign policy" that gave the orders to come down hard on the protesters. Needless to say, Axelrod and Obama's sleight of hand to transfer emphasis to the Ayatollah and away from Ahmadinejad doesn't mean bumpkis in reality. An oppressive despot is an oppressive despot. Not to mention, we'd be the world's biggest fools to believe any agreement they make.

Instead, Axelrod lays on the BS, saying that the US intent to talk to Iran shouldn't be considered a reward.

Now, Mccain’s joke “Bomb, Bomb Iran...”
is more than ironic!

Obama’s name will, in future generations, become short hand for incompetence. Just as Benedict Arnold is shorthand for traitor...Obama will become shorthand for the Peter Principle writ large....sadly, millions may die as a result of the wars launched, while under the leadership of the man who embodies everything wrong with Grutter v. Bollinger...His very election embodied it..
