WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Friday that the United States would accept Iran’s offer to meet, fulfilling President Obama’s pledge to hold unconditional talks despite the Iranian government’s insistence that it would not negotiate over the future of its nuclear program.
The decision to engage directly with Iran would put a senior representative of the Obama administration at the bargaining table, along with emissaries from five other nations, for the first time since Mr. Obama took office.
The decision is bound to raise protests from conservatives who contend that unconditional talks are naïve, and from human rights groups that say the United States should not legitimize an Iranian government that appears to have manipulated its presidential election in June and crushed protests after the vote.
In advance of Friday’s announcement, senior administration officials said that their offer to negotiate directly with the Iranians, for what could turn into the first substantive talks since the Iranian Revolution in 1979, was, as a senior official had earlier put it, a “bona fide offer.”

When he announced his candidacy for Illinois Senator, Barak Obama was at a rally for him in the home of the founders of the terrorist "Weather Underground Organization" that had, like Al Qaida, declared war against the United States. Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn are self-styled "radicals". One truth about politicians, they surround themselves with those who share their beliefs when they announce their campaigns.
"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama has said.
I believe Mr. Obama thinks average Americans are spoiled bourgeoisie who don't deserve what they have. I believe he wants to take what we have earned. And I do not believe that the President loves our country.
So I am not surprised by this article in the New York Times.
Now he is officially more likely to talk with Iran than talk with Republicans. I hate him.
A Look at Iran

This marxist quisling is a danger to America. Much moreso than Mad Mahmoud.
What the F***, F***, F***, F***. I cannot believe this insanity. This lunatic policy of appeasement to the terrorist enemies is going to cause us harm that we cannot imagine in our worst nightmares.
The wage of the grand misjudgment will be Obama’s impeachment after the next terrorist attack.
APPEARS to have manipulated its election and crushed dissent??? APPEARS?
I know the Times editorial board is far to the left, but their news operation has disappeared as well.
WHat a joke.
Damn you obama. As an Iraian American I say damn you shameful disgusting scumbag to Hell.
Iran had a Geen Revolt to try and get the country back from despotic thugs and we will have our Green Revolt here too and WE WILL TAKE AMERICA BACK FROM YOU AND YOUR LEFTIST DOGS.
Exactly.
I only wish it was televised. Ahmadinejhad will make a fool of Obama. The Iranian will prove what we have known all along that Obama is full of crap right up to his big ears.
He’s a traitor.
Interesting title. This time they say “US” and not “President Obama”...
Look for a scheme humiliating the US coming up. Our narcissist Manchurian “leader” is calling us “them”.
The antipatriots want to look for genocide for sake of the planet. They are out there to destroy an entire perceived race of people, gay genes or not.
The media is morphing to the Ostrich head in the sand attitude. It does not deliver news, only holds hostage bandwidth in a hack infowar ploy against real news.
Oprah and Michael Jackson reruns are about to be kept up.
Obama, the Joker, the monkey eared Messiah, is irrelevant.
The world sneers at his incompetance and laughs at his feeble attempt to play in the big leagues.
The events of the meeting will be meaningless when without notice the war between Iran, Israel, Jordan and the GCC begins.
On the bright side, when the terrorists hit us with a nuke, they will certainly hit a Deep Blue Obama city.
“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama has said.
I like this one too....
“We can’t drive our minicars and eat as little as we want and keep our homes on 52 degrees at all times and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,”
