Hersh told CNN however, that the White House has spurned Tehran's overtures for dialogue. "This president is not talking to the Iranians. They are trying very hard to make contact, I can assure you of that, in many different forms," he said. "He's not talking. And there's no public pressure on the White House to start bilateral talks. And that's what amazes everybody," he said.

It doesn't amaze me. Why should he waste his time talking to a pack of cheats and liars? If they (Iranians) want to seriously negotiate, they know what they have to do.
What does amaze me is the number of people who seem to think that continuing to talk under the present circumstances is going to lead us anywhere except to a nuclear armed Iran.

If John Kerry was in the White House, I'm sure every American couple would have to give their first born over to the Iranians in exchange for a verbal promise to think about stopping their nuclear program. But he's not. So let the MEN handle this.
