it was sold under the pretense that if Tehran rebuffed the offer, it would convice wary Europeans to get on board with tough sanctions and possibly military action. Like that's going to happen with The Zero.

Fox News's "Special Report" on Friday featured Secretary of State Hillary Clinton outlining the Obama administration's Iran policy, and she may as well have begun, "Stop me if you've heard this one before...." Her speech could have been culled from any official statement on the topic for at least three years. "Our message will be clear," said Hillary. "We are serious, and we will soon see if the Iranians are serious. This is not about process for the sake of process.... We have no appetite for talks without action."
Discerning whether Iran is "serious" has been the official, do-nothing euphemism of the White House for two administrations. In May 2006, Condoleezza Rice offered Iran a series of carrots-and-sticks, telling a televised press conference, "It's time to know whether Iran is serious about negotiation or not." At the time, it was sold under the pretense that if Tehran rebuffed the offer, it would convice wary Europeans to get on board with tough sanctions and possibly military action.

Here Iran, go ahread and build your bombs. But if you kill all the jews we will be miffed enough to write a tersly worded letter. We might even stamp our foot and curse.
So just remember Iran, you don’t want that to happen!
THe mushroom cloud is the proof they are apparently sitting on their hands waiting for.
No they are not serious about negotiations. They do not give a damn what anyone has to say. What is so hard for our so called leaders to understand?

EMP, chemical and biological in our future...they are serious.
Serious about what? Making the bomb? That’s what they promised from the beginning.
Iran is led by a religious fanatic who thinks it’s his moral obligation and duty to allah to bring about the end of the world. He will soon have nuclear weapons and rockets to deliver them to other continents, while we fantasize that he cares about mutually assured destruction. Is that serious enough?
How long has it been since one person on this planet believed anything that Hillary Clinton said?
“What is so hard for our so called leaders to understand?”
Hillary sounds like an idiot. The Iranians interest and goals are hidden in plain site and everyone pretends not to see. Its obvious to anyone with eyes to see that the Iranians have never been interested in negotiations. Why should they be? China and Russia will never allow sanctions which have any real teeth. And if that isn’t good enough, Obama is contemplating strategies to insure Israel cannot strike Iran.
Let’s see if I got this right...
We elected a Neo-Marxist as our president. We gave the Rats majorities in both houses of Congress. Elections have consequences. Americans are reaping the whirlwind their ignorance.
Unfortunately you got it right. We have an IslamoCommie in charge. It does not get any worse than that.
