Is James Baker repeating Carter's stupidity with Khomeini?

[taxesareforever]

Appears that way.

I wonder what/how the Saudi link will turn up to be?

Thanks for the ping.

At this point in time (the "Iraqi Study Group" having concluded its stellar studying) I don't believe James Baker has been elected, appointed or hired to any actual government position. So what, exactly, gives him the right or authority to "work to establish ties" with a nation, any more than I do?

Get a freakin' life, James Baker.

That was a different man, different time, and such = a similar but wrong caparison.

I say that it cant hurt.

Hope springs eternal in your breast - and Iran's.

There is absolutely no point talking to someone who does not want to give up what they want. Nukes! With which to dominate the region and blackmail the world.

And if push comes to shove, use one or two of the half dozen they have already to "delete" Israel.

They want more because the six they have is like having six bullets in a revolver and then taking on a gang (the world community). You will take a half dozen down with you but then you are toast.

Also - to whom do you talk? There are suddenly (great!) several at odds schisms in the top clergy, each singing their own tune and refusing to hear any other.

Meanwhile there is the Hojatieh faction of Ahmadi-Nejad and ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi, who believe only death and destruction on a global scale will suffice to bring back their 12th Imam "Redeemer".

Want to talk to them? About what? They are hell bent on total destruction - Armageddon and Apocalypse.

Back to you later, but that is a real cheap shot.

If you are going to put me in the same sentence like that, then take me off of your ping list.

Intended as tongue in cheek. Sorry.

Is James Baker repeating Carter's stupidity with Khomeini?

Certainly looks that way.

Ahmadinejad ain't interested in talking with the west. The west wants to divert a crisis in the Middle East, and Ahmadinejad wants to build his nukes.

President Bush is noted/admired/derided for his plain talk approach to foreign policy, and he has plainly told the world that US policy is steadfast in that there will be no talks with Iran until Iran has given verifiable proof that it has ended its nuclear enrichment program.

It can't get any plainer than that.

Baker is operating in direct conflict with and therefore seriously undermining US foreign policy.

That's simply not acceptable.

[RaceBannon]

Baker is an idiot.

[freedom44]

Baker is a moron just like Carter

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

I don't believe James Baker has been elected, appointed or hired to any actual government position. So what, exactly, gives him the right or authority to "work to establish ties" with a nation, any more than I do?

That is what I want to know. Why aren't some of these people told to stand down or be denied entry back into the USA?

These 'shadow government' pretenders have to be stopped...

[Earthdweller]

So what's up? He plans to negotiate away part or all of Israel without the approval of the American people or Israel itself?

Talk about your global dictator.

If the author's conclusions are accurate- this is breathtaking. James Baker is deliberately underminging the authority of the president..
