Top Obama administration officials say the door remains open for nuclear talks with Iran. They are discounting the latest anti-American rhetoric from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The ongoing post-election turmoil in Iran has raised questions about the outlook for diplomacy to deal with Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
Appearing on the CBS television program Face the Nation, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice indicated the Iranian nuclear program remains a matter of high concern for the White House.
"We have an interest in any case in trying to ensure that Iran does not achieve a nuclear weapons capability," said Rice. "We have pursued that through multi-lateral diplomacy. We have left the door open to bilateral diplomacy."

Ping.
“We have an interest in any case in trying to ensure that Iran does not achieve a nuclear weapons capability”
What part of idiocy contains Rice’s incompetent brain? Iran is already nuked capable.
Ostammer to Ahmanutjob: “Ooooooo.....beat me.....kick me......mmmmmmm....it hurts so good.”
Ahmadinejad and Baracko gonna get together over some weenies.
That made me think of this line from Pulp Fiction: “Bring out the gimp.”
Fine, if we can talk to the Iranian people!
Rice should talk to her boss, seems he’s the one saying Iran deserves to have ‘nuclear energy.’
Continuation of Barry’s Appeasement World Tour Ping!
Ahmadinejad and Baracko gonna get together over some weenies.
Bawney Fwank is invited? Will they go to the AllahSnackbar?
This dumb ass socialist punk is gonna get a lot of Americans killed.
We have left the door open to bilateral diplomacy.”
How about a good old fashioned, unilateral butt-kicking.
all together now: kum-baye-yah!
Damn that is effing funny
BBQ, sure. Down South, if it ain’t pork, it ain’t BBQ, it’s just cookin’ outdoors.
Exactly. It’s sacrilage to call grilling hot dogs a BBQ!! I hope they cook some nice Hebrew National dogs....
The Obama Administration is reconciled to Iran’s obtaining a nuclear bomb. You can tell from these weasel words that they don’t intend to do anything about it. (You got a whiff of that when Obama said in his Cairo speech that no country can take it upon itself to say that another country can’t have nuclear weapons.) When it happens, they can say “Well, we did everything we could, we left the door open to diplomacy.”
Right now, the Obama Administration is looking around for scapegoats and is setting them up for blame It seems that the prime scapegoat is going to be Israel. (Maybe throw in George Bush for good measure.)
