TEHRAN (FNA)- Vice President for Media Affairs Mehdi Kalhor said on Saturday that Iran has set two preconditions for holding talks with the United States of America.

In an exclusive interview with the Islamic Republic News Agency, he said as long as U.S. forces have not left the Middle East region and continues its support for the Zionist regime, talks between Iran and U.S. is off the agenda.

It is the Americans who are in dire need of reestablishing ties with Iran, he underlined.

Iran is not obliged to reestablish ties with the U.S., he said.

"If they take our advice, grounds for such talks would be well prepared," he said.

It is stupidity to hold talks without any change in U.S. attitude, he underlined.

Hey Mehdi Kalhor, you may just get your wish if this Muslim candidate gets into the WH.

I'm sure that Obombast will accept these preconditions. After all he will need the military to supress those evil rich industrialst in our ranks. This is the first step towards that paradise that is the promise of all Kommunist Kommunity Organizers.

Revisionism has succeeded! How dose that old saw go?

The subtext here is that Iran has taken the diplomatic initiative away from the US. This is about Bush not Obama. Iran now states openly what we had suspected all along, that the US has no credible leverage with these mullahs--nothing they want. They can sell all their oil to China and get what they want from the Chinese in return. They can forge alliances with Venezuela, Russia, and anyone else who wants to stick a finger in the US's eye.

Five years of ominous rumbling from Washington about how "Iran will not be permitted to get nuclear weapons" while engaging in predictably fruitless 'negotiations' via the Euro 3, has netted us absolutely nothing. Now Bush is a nonfactor, the "military option" is clearly off the table, and Iran is riding high.

Ahmadinejad can come to New York, insult us with impunity on our own doorstep, be feted as a hero by the stooges chumps and useful idiots of the ivory tower and the "church," and the US can do nothing but sit and stew.

“Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran! Get it over with!”

We need to drill here, now, and often. When the first drop oil from these efforts hits the pipeline, we give those radical, terrorist bas!ards an ultimatum But, alas, the socialist, terrorist dems will not allow it. Tar-feathers-rail-etc.

I think unconditional surrender talks would be the only talks with Iran I would support.

Yeah? Well, I have four preconditions for talks with you:

First, I want our embassy back the way you found it.
Second, I want you to apologize for taking it and holding our people hostage for over a year.
Third...I want the guys from Desert One back, you S.O.B.s!
