Better source. It says we are talking -- it doesn't say we are negotiating.

Hypothetical. Someone has a gun to your temple and you are restrained. This person offers to discuss the situation. Are you going to talk to this person just for conversations or are you not hoping to negotiate a way out of him pulling the trigger. Your symantics with the wording is a very weak argument.

No. Your hypothetical is very weak logically. We are not restrained and I see no evidence of negotiation.

When confronted at a meeting by Iranians we could do one of the following.

1.) negotiate, 2.) ignore them or 3.) tell them to quit killing our servicemen and that they will pay for what they have done.

The first option would be inappropriate, and it is my belief that the third option would be more desirable to the second option.

Never said I trust Sheherezade or any of the MSM. In fact, last week I was pointing out the hit on the WRAMC, while other FReepers jumped on the MSM bandwagon. But one cannot deny that this "conference" is taking place.

Talking with the Iranians was key to the Baker Commission Report (ISG), which was loudly and soundly decried on this forum.

But, inch by inch, it is being implemented.

Talking or negotiating, it's just a matter of semantics. Someone used leverage to get this meeting. We're playing HIS game.

Stay tuned. I'm looking up some links from last summer...

So, we're begging the other countries (Iran) to stop the terrorism?

Since when has that approach ever led to V-I-C-T-O-R-Y?

So then your complaint is that we haven't acted yet against Iran.

I think that it is appropriate that Iran should pay for what they done to our servicemen.

I have been looking for a direct quote from President Bush that we would specifically never talk with Iran... still looking... but he did include Iran as a member of the "axis of evil" in a January 29, 2002 speech: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_of_evil

And, we know Iran supplied Hizbullah with weaponry against Israel last summer, Ahmadinejad is cozy with Chavez, Iran-manufactured IEDs have taken out our troops in Iraq, and so on....

I just thought I'd throw the name out there, it struck me immediately, and I couldn't think of ...from where : )

When the kids were little, if they needed to think about what they were doing, and re-direct...I 'sometimes' gave them a few minutes to do it on their own

by counting to three.

And IF I got to three,

I re-directed them.

"Violence in Iraq is good for no country in the region," said Araghchi, deputy foreign minister for legal and international affairs [for Iran]

Oh really! Well then, I have some suggestions for Mr. Araghchi and his terrorist sponsoring country.

I also notice that Mr. Araghchi calls for a firm timetable for our withdrawal from Iraq...just like the democrat party.

At a time and at places of our chosing.

I was thinking about how Dick Cheney visited Musharif and had a talk and things started popping over there in Pak. Dick seems to talk pretty good. I guess if there has to be talking, he would be the one who maybe shoud be doing it :)

You only know what you think transpired. The article is from the totally disreputable AP.

The message was also delivered that we have one of their best guys and he is spilling his guts. If you don't stop that shit we will hit you precisely where it hurts the most.
