Shorter bayam: This is a distraction from my Grand Unified Theory of Blame Bush.

Let’s not cry over spilled milk. Iran is a new regional power now that Iraq is insignificant as a competitor to Tehran. Nothing can change that now, whether the President pays a visit, turns his back, or waves a large stick in the air and screams ‘axis of evil’. And unless this nation re-instates the draft or pulls out of another war zone, a US-lead Iraqification of Iran is out of the question.

Since Obambi just LOVES to talk, we’ve got to keep him talking about talking to Ahmadinejad! Flip, flop, flip, flop, we’re up to what version number of the Hussein Doctrine du jour on Iran? You want CHANGE, folks, listen to Obama CHANGE his foreign policy daily! Can even the great Persian planner of the 12th Caliphate keep up with this?

Keep talkin’ till October, Barry O, we’re just lovin’ it! To think that this started with President Bush saying that “some” people (who remain anonymous) think they can talk terrorists into realizing they’re wrong. And the media and the Democrats tell us Bush is stupid. Hmmm…..

If Barry O starts to think this is a distraction, maybe he can talk about his plans to invade Pakistan, now that Musharraf is out of power and Benazir Bhutto is dead. Does he welcome that debate?

Just look at what we’ve achieved by talking with North Korea says Barack. I’m still looking. But I don’t see much beyond their bombs and technology spreading into dangerous areas. Too bad Barack and his followers can’t see.

Does Obama think the message that “we want to resolve conflicts peacefully” has not been delivered and understood several times over?

For me, the killer line in the vidoe above was Obama saying that the purpose of talking to these §$?/%/?)s was to "repair our standing in the world." We may all be dead, but the world will think more kindly of us. How comforting. /sarc

We just need to talk more about carrots and sticks.

Makes a country look tougher and more professional, carrots, sticks, carrots, sticks.

Good Lord these people are idiots.

The problem is that people are attempting to explain and evaluate this man’s unthinking nonsense in a logical fashion and it can’t be done . . . the man is a shallow dolt.

Exit question, since Obama’s all about serious policy debates: What does he propose by way of further “leverage”?

How could you ask such a racist question. We need to focus on the important things.

He talks as if we have no foreign policy, as if our policies are not explained to our “enemies”, they know exactly whee we stand…If he made this statement “we have no foreign policy that involves him or Jimmy Carter or other appeasers”.

And we are talking to Iran — just not giving up the cherry of a Presidential visit. The Obamassiah wants to give it up too easily.

replaced by a new line of defense that David Petraeus himself thinks

The Good General also thinks we shouldn’t withdraw from Iraq. They’re going to say they don’t trust him on Iraq but do on Iran?
