Thanks for your post. Some people refuse to look at different angles of the current situation right now in Iraq, and then use ad hominem attacks against those that see things differently. Have you noticed the word "quaqmire" hasn't been used to describe Iraq? It's because everyone now recognizes the fact that the war is a quaqmire. Now we're (meaning our government) talking about sucking up to Iran and Syria to help us with Iraq, reaching out to the mouths that repeatedly bite at us?
Sorry-that's quaqmire.
It should also be noted that Iran and Syria arm, train, and suppor Hezbullah. Our government is currently reaching out to Iran.
The powerful chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Richard Lugar on Saturday called for direct talks between Washington, Tehran and Damascus over the latest developments in the Middle East. "I am among those who advocates talks between our government, Damascus and Tehran after a certain point," Lugar said in an interview with the Berlin-based Der Tagesspiegel. The Republican senator from the US state of Indiana added that American President George W. Bush had gradually abandoned his earlier unilateral foreign policies for an increasingly multilateral approach, citing US-European cooperation on the question of Iran as well Washington's support for the six-party talks with North Korea.
Lugar has repeatedly said direct talks between Iran and the US would be "useful".

What part of Republicans cooperating with Shiite Hezbullah backers are the cult of Bush personality missing?
