Obama Willing to Talk with Iran

TEHRAN (FNA)- US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said he would favor holding direct talks with Iran and Syria in a bid to stabilize the Middle East if elected president.

In an interview with France's Paris Match on Thursday, Obama said, "I want to have direct talks with countries like Iran and Syria because I don't believe we can stabilize the region unless not just our friends but also our enemies are involved in these discussions."

He was also quoted as saying he would also hold a summit with leaders of Muslim states to address the growing gap between the West and the world of Islam.

The Illinois senator added that to repair the image of the United States in the world, he would "put an end to the war in Iraq."

"Occupying the country has put the odds against us with the world," Obama said.

Meanwhile, a visiting Iranian official said Thursday in Cairo that Iran and Egypt would work together to resolve the Middle East's top crises such as in Iraq, Lebanon and the Palestinian territories, and that both wanted to upgrade their diplomatic relations, severed nearly three decades ago.

Teheran cut diplomatic ties after Cairo signed a peace agreement with Israel in 1979 and provided asylum for the deposed Iranian Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

Ali Akbar Nateq Nouri, a top adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, spoke after a meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Thursday in Cairo.

"It has been decided that we and Egypt will work together for more coordination on regional issues such Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine," Nateq Nouri said. "Iran and Egypt are key regional nations and have too many things in common."

In May, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad offered to restore ties with Egypt, a strong US ally. At the time, Ahmadinejad said his country was ready to open an embassy in Cairo as soon as Egypt agreed to do the same in Tehran.

Let me ask you this. Since our own intelligents estimate says there is NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGAM and since you can’t give an example of a single thing the sheites have done to this country (you probabay don’t know the difference with a Sunni) then what the hell would you do?
‘ Just bomb and occupy to stop “the spread on nuclear weapons”?
Send your money and your sons — not mine.
Of course you talk !!!

RE: "No fatwahs have been issued condemning him for apostasy. I wonder why?"

On today's Roger Hedgecock Weekend show Roger asked the same question of a guest who is a lady (and MD) who left Syria, gave up Islam (and gets death threats continually), and now an American citizen in Los Angeles.

Her answer? Wait until he becomes president. Then you will see the radical Muslims' reaction. To the best of my recollection that was not pursued any further but I believe that the implication was that it would not be good, one way or the other.

What if the radical Islamic leaders consider President Obama an apostate? Will it be safe for him to meet alone with them? Only half-kidding.

“You can’t negociate with people bent on your destruction.”

Perhaps we shouldn’t negotiate with these people, but we certainly allow them into the country in droves. Just notice those ugly mosques sprouting everywhere like poisonous toadstools.

What a naive fool B. Hussein is. The Islamofacists can’t wait to manipulate this lightweight empty suit of a fool, Obama.

If I were an enemy of this nation I could only hope for an Obama presidency to snatch victory from defeat or to help advance my agenda of weakening America.

If your going to be a newbie troll I suggest you don't be stupid.

Try as an example taking 400 hundred of our citizens hostage. Maybe 200 hundred of our servicemen killed by a Hezbollah shiite suicide bomber is sufficient example. Or have you forgotten how dealing with Shiites with kids gloves helped get us into the current situation.

Yea, Obama going to bring us change. A change for the worse.
