Obama team drafting letter to heal Iran rift: report 16 mins ago
LONDON (Reuters) – Officials of U.S. President Barack Obama's administration are drafting a letter to Iran from the president aimed at unfreezing U.S.-Iranian relations and opening the way for face-to-face talks, Britain's Guardian newspaper reported on Thursday.
The U.S. State Department has been working on drafts of the letter since Obama was elected last November, the report said. It was a response to a letter of congratulations sent by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after Obama's poll victory.
The letter gives assurances that Washington does not want to overthrow the Iranian administration, but instead seeks changes in its behavior, the paper said. It would be addressed to the Iranian people and sent directly to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, or released as an open letter.
In Washington, a State Department official said the policy on Iran was under review and declined to comment on whether a letter was possibly being prepared to send to the Iranians.
"No decision on any specific policy initiative has yet been decided by the State Department," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Guardian said the letter was being considered by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as part of a review of U.S. policy on Iran. A decision on sending it was not expected until the review was complete.

Ain’t That Sweet. . . .
I sure would like to know what the letter says...how much groveling are we actually going to do in order to sit down with those jerks.
Now they want an apology....hows this:”We’re sorry we didn’t turn your sh*thole of a country to glass when you took our people hostage.”
Its a start....
What makes you think that? Is it the campaign checks they were writing to Obama?
Welcome to the brave new world.
Liberals are big on making apologies for past actions of the U.S. It keeps the focus off their present indiscretions.
beautiful, just beautiful!

Oh God, help us.

Mahmoud "Monkey Boy" Ahmadinejad will kick sand in Barry's face and the liberals in the U.S. will see the effect of their approach as the Muslim world laughs at them.

Oh NO! The *Dear, Mookie* letter.
Obambi gettin’ serious! Bringing out da big guns, writing a letter. Oooooh, I just knew he would be a strong commander in cheif.
What will the letter say? “Dear Achmadinajab, as President of the USSR, uh... A, USA. I um uh am hereby revoking your uh.. um... membership. No longer will you get to wear those uh... um... ‘Members Only’ jackets from the 1980’s.”
Persians invented chess while 0 is playing tic tac do
Commandante 0 thinks he can gull Muslim fanatics the way he did American voters
Well, after all, Obama is President of the World (just ask the MSM)—so Iran will just hop to it. So, will the European allies when he asks them to pony up troops for Afghanistan. Right?
These guys are going to play Obama like a fiddle.
Or maybe this was like the letter he sent about the Housing crisis back in the Senate. The one he sent that never got responded to and garnered no follow-up (from him). That was the best he could do to address the problem
I figured this was comming.BO will cater to the Iranian demands in the name of peace,the msm will inundate the public(24/7)with optomistic reports of the “progress” being made.....:(
> when the zipper went to Africa to apologize for slavery.
Black folks should profusely thank God every day that they were born in the United States, even if their ancestors were brought here as slaves.
In which African country do you suppose they would have preferred to be born? How deep does their “black pride” go?
So, he’ll meet with the Ayatollah AND Pres. Ahmadinejad, and say, “Look guys/ We’re sorry to have offended you by letting you openly talk about denying the Holocaust, nuking Israel, and making America an Islamic caliphate. And we apologize for acting uncomfortable when you hang mentally retarded teenagers, stone to death raped women, and the other 4,000 executions you did last year. We’ll try harder to make americans understand that Islam is a religion of peace, and that Sha’ria Law is no different than Jewish Law.”
