IsraelNN.com) U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs William Burns told the Middle East Institute in Washington on Tuesday that the U.S. recognizes the Iranian regime’s “right” to nuclear power, does not seek regime change and is ready for more talks with Iran.

"We seek a relationship with the Islamic Republic of Iran based upon mutual interest and mutual respect. We do not seek regime change. We have condemned terrorist attacks against Iran.

The only way I can deal with this is to just not give a crap anymore. Sorry, Israel. You’re on your own...

This is so depressing.

a relationship with the Islamic Republic of Iran based upon mutual interest

Would that be Iran's interest in wiping Israel off the map? Or that Israel is an occupation regime? Or maybe the expulsion of Jews to Europe? Israel has no future? How about that the solution to the Middle East crisis is to destroy Israel?

I'll stand with Israel any day over Obama and Mahmood Imajutjob

And as the mullahs laugh at the weak, cowardly, foolish Americans, they are amazed that America has elected Jimmy Carter to office not once, but twice.

Just like Carter recognized the "right" of N.Korea to have nuclear power.
We all know how well that turned out.

Translation

There is nothing we can do about Iran getting nukes

And to be fair what did Bush do about it but leave the problem for the next president because he knew he couldn’t do anything either —HINT price of oil if the USA tried to take out Iran’s nukes

So a sworn enemy that is intent on using this nuclear tech to kill as many Americans as possible has a right to nuclear energy but we here in the US aren’t allowed to build new nuclear plants to meet our energy needs. Great priorities, Libs!

Wow. We really are a banana republic.

That being said, the previous administration didn't stand up to Iran either.

That people can watch this and still believe Obama is a better president than Bush is rock-solid proof that the use of the rational mind, man’s greatest strength, is no longer encouraged.

How could we have sunk this low?

Bush tried to implement a master plan whereby Iraq became a democracy and the citizens of other arab/muslim nations would rise up and demand that its leaders follow suit. Unfortunately, the transition didn't go as planned and took a heck of a lot more time to stabilize Iraq.

In conjunction and as a result, the democrats sabotaged the efforts for political reasons. Bush lost support for the "war" and certainly nobody at that point would support his efforts to militarily take care of Iran.

It’s only a matter of time before Al Qaeda and the Taliban have nukes. Hamas will be gifted with them too.

If everyone on the West Bank and Gaza go on walkabout, the Israelis better put on their asbestos jammies.

The Rats are fine with Iran having “nuclear power” but if we try to put up a nuke plant here, they fight like hell to stop it.

Damned hypocrites.

This is not the best use of this site. We should respect the office of President.

I would not want us accused of using the tactics of Kos or the DUmp.

Iran’s nuke facilities are far removed from their oil facilities. Imo blasting their nuke plants and weapons depots would have ZERO impact upon their oil sales. In fact it might bring about a regime change. With new moderates in power sanctions might be lifted allowing for the modernization of Iran’s oil producing infrastructure and increased production.

He is a boy. In life experience, in political experience, in ability, skill and talent, he is indeed a "boy".

This is not the best use of this site. We should respect the office of President.

0bama is not the President. He is usurping the Oval Office and anyone with a lick of sense knows that. This isn't about 'respecting the office of President', that's nothing but a straw man.

I would not want us accused of using the tactics of Kos or the DUmp. :)

Screw KoS and screw the DUmp, nobody was worried about 'respecting the office of President' for eight years under 'George W. Chimpy', now were they?

Now the 0bamunists and their boy-king can lay back and take it and if they don't like it, screw every last one of 'em.

"Bush tried to implement a master plan"

Yeah, it was called 'nation-building' and "big-talk-but-no-walk".

Iran was killing our troops in Iraq with IEDs and GWB did little to nothing about it. And that ain't Bush-bashing, that's the God's Honest Truth.

GWB had all the tools and resources available to shut down Iran long before he left office. All he had to do was to jettison that professional appeasement crowd over at State and listen to former Ambassador John Bolton's wisdom instead of that chuckle headed, piano-playing know-nothing Constantmyalgia Rice.

That would have been a start.
