Maybe they don't read AP agit-prop.
Demands are part of negotiations, are they not?
The mere fact of talking to the Iranians is a concession. Do you talk to someone who is killing your family?
No. It takes two to negotiate.
Demands are part of negotiations, are they not?
No. All negotiations have demands. All demands are not part of a negotiation.
The mere fact of talking to the Iranians is a concession. Do you talk to someone who is killing your family?
Yes, you tell them to stop the killing and that they will pay for what they've done.

BAGHDAD (AP) -- U.S. and Iranian envoys exchanged direct talks Saturday on efforts to end Iraq's violence and bolster its government, opening limited but potentially significant contacts that could ease their nearly 28-year diplomatic freeze.

What else could this be called ???

The discussions were confined to one session during a conference on Iraq stability, but they appeared to offer room for further interaction between the two nations _ which find themselves increasingly drawn toward common issues in Iraq as the nation's most influential allies.

The U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad, said he exchanged views with Iranian delegates "directly and in the presence of others" at the gathering led by Iraq's neighbors and the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.

This Sez It All !!!
WHY the 180 turn ???(shakin' head sadly)
Honestly, if you were a deployed troop right now, how would you take this?
I see no evidence in this AP article that would lead me to conclude at this time that we are "negotiating" with the Iranians.
If you don't want a post of yours to be viewed as propaganda, then don't misinform by using the word "negotiating", when there is no evidence to support that claim.
You:... but a 28 year history setting Foreign Policy precedent is reversed by negotiating with the enemy over orange juice...
Sorry I can't help you further.

I'd take it as a sign not to take my boots off.
The above in quotes is all that AP gives us.
Sez, not much.
The girl's name Sheherezade \shehe-reza-de, sheher(e)-zade\ is of Arabic, Farsi and Persian origin, and its meaning is "city dweller". In "A Thousand and One Arabian Nights", Sheherazade tells one tale to her royal husband each night. Having been betrayed by his first wife, the husband had resolved to marry a different virgin each day, and kill at dawn. So fascinating were Sheherazade's stories, however, that the king let her live so that he could keep hearing them. He eventually fell in love with her.
Better source. It says we are talking -- it doesn't say we are negotiating.
In other words, he's telling people from the other countries that everybody knows their douchebags are ending up in Iraq.
Let's give these people some more time with each other. Let's see what they do!
Don't know. I don't know what we said to the Iranians.
I would hope we would say something like, "quit killing our troops. You will pay for what you've done".
Honestly, would you prefer that we ignore the Iranians when our paths cross at a meeting or would perfer that we tell them what I said above?
