MUNICH -- Richard Holbrooke, the Obama administration's new point man on Afghanistan and Pakistan, is expected to engage Iran as part of a broad effort to stabilize Afghanistan and combat the country's growing drug trade, according to officials briefed on the special representative's plans.
Many in the Obama administration believe that Iran and the U.S. share common interests when it comes to Afghanistan, these officials said. Tehran has been among the largest suppliers of financial and economic aid to Kabul since the overthrow of the Taliban in 2001, and these officials said they believe Iran may be willing to work with the U.S. to strengthen the fragile government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

I had hoped they were cynics like the Clintons who would say anything to get elected but govern in a semi-rational manner. But this crowd actually seems to believe their bravo sierra.
Yep. You can’t escape the fact Iran’s parliament is debating executing anyone that dares to convert to Christianity demonstrates our new President is in fact a geo political virgin.
In any case, this is asking the fox to help guard the chicken house.
yeah that’s the ticket
Iranian leaders have made huge FORTUNES in the trafficking of opium! And naturally, we now want them to help? What exactly do the Democrats want here? Payoffs? Free dope?
I’m sure zero’s got some blago politics going on in this little anti-constitution treaty.
That part won’t bother zer0 and the democrats. They just want to play nice with Iran.
Sounds like we give them training and military support in exchange for making some poor farmers life hell all the while overlooking the real terrorists.
This is too great to pass up:

And it will give our anti-America leftist overlords cover to let them do it, if not help them.
OK!!!!I get it, this is satire. This can’t really be happening....can it?
Worst Administration evah!
He has a lot of friends in the House and Senate who are smiling too! Vultures of a feather.
Yah give oversight to Iran so they may not only make sure it keeps flowing, but get a piece of the profits.
The Asylum of our Era.
ping
honestly I’d say the latter .
I mean just look at the last three weeks and what he has done.
cutting the budget for the pentagon, release terrorists and bring them to America for a trial and close Gitmo, no more water boarding or anything, just their jihad number thank you.
Homo’s open in the military and then the dropping of the charges for the mastermind of the USS Cole and then they get the families and commander out he back door so they couldn’t talk right away to the media or Fox really.
Course not forgetting his first media address was not to out nation nor our best ally the UK who has lost their men and women helping us no it was on Arab TV and addressed to muslims
Yes I really do believe he is an enemy of this country who has been primed over the years to ruin us from within .
Ayers and his pals knew like Hitler and Karl Marx that using violence was never going to defeat us so they find young Barack and groomed him for this job.
Now he is there this country had better wake up other wise it will be too late and no I am not kidding either.
I ave 3 kids and despair what this country will be like when they reach my age.
I hope the NSA,CIA,FBI are not telling phony everything and all our classified info either infact I hope they are listening to him and making a case against this fraud
I’m sure they’ll do a fine job.
Years ago when they were trying to finance their revolution, they shipped fine quality heroin to this country.
Isn’t this like putting Jeffrey Dahmer in charge of the morgue?
