Bush Administration Talks With Iran

How will the Right Wing and conservatives view this? Bush is sending “a senior American official to participate in international talks with Iran this weekend,” effectively abandoning “its long standing position that it will only meet face-to-face with Iran after it first suspends uranium enrichment.” It is the first time since 1979 that the US and Iran have had such high level talks. [I thought the Republicans sold Iran arms in the 80's, the ol' Iran-Contra mess with Ronnie "I Don't Recall" Reagan and Ollie "Fox News Pundit" North]

Bush’s decision to allow American diplomats to meet with Iranian officials — while welcome — is surprising. In fact, just two months ago, Bush said, in a speech before the Israeli parliament, that those who favor rigorous diplomacy with Iran (including his own Defense Secretary) are supporting a policy of appeasement toward terrorists.

The Right had a field day with Neville Chamberlain WWII comparisons last month. They made Barack Obama out to be weak because he said he would engage Iran in talks. Classic right wing flip-flop. You know Rush and Hannity will spin this as a good thing so their retarded listeners' heads won't explode.

Will McSame McCain agree with this decision since he is in lockstep with Bush? All the fervent Bushies out there must be crying in their Hummers. For 7 years Bush acted the fool, this is his last ditch effort at doing something for his non-existent legacy. You shit the bed, Bush.

Hey, I welcome when our elected politicians use diplomacy, it's what they are supposed to do. Bush has made using intellect, experience, bargaining skills and wisdom out to be some form of weakness. When you don't have them, like Bush, you make them out to be inferior. It's like the second grader who makes fun of the kid with glasses.

I say it's Bush's "I tried to do something, they wouldn't listen, now I am allowed to bomb them" strategy.
