WASHINGTON — The United States and Iran have agreed for the first time to one-on-one negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, according to Obama administration officials, setting the stage for what could be a last-ditch diplomatic effort to avert a military strike on Iran.

Kiss of death for Obama!! Remember the morning of the Wisconsin Primary in 1980 when Jimmy had a press conference on the “break-though” on the hostages??? OBAMA is going to be compared the that BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!

These sad bastards...this was plan B after the failed attempt at a Syrian/US hostage negotiation that would make the purple lipped prince the king-o-the-world.

Pathetic, childish, and what is the word I have been hearing frequently...petulant!

[Hotlanta Mike]

Ha! If I’m Romney I’d be running the “please communicate to Vladimir that after the election I’ll have more flexibility” video...just to serve as a reminder who’s best interests Obamao has in mind.

Setting the stage for what could be a last-ditch diplomatic effort to avert a ROMNEY WIN IN THE NOVEMEBER ELECTION.

A last ditch effort before the foreign policy debate Monday to make bambi look good. It is total BS and won’t work

Once upon a time....

IMO, they have the bomb ready to go. These “talks” are the invitation to the testing.

...because it worked so well with North Korea.

Of course, the WH is denying this, per Politico.

Iran did offer sanctuary to Osama Bin Laden’s family after 9/11/01, FWIW. They weren’t involved in the attacks per se, but they were accomplices after the fact.

Don’t forget Fidel and Hugo, who are at-large members.

Iran helped us in Afghanistan against the Taliban and their terrorist allies in the early years of the Afghan war. It’s a shame that unwise rhetoric promoted by some in the Bush administration led to a break from our natural Iranian allies in the war against Taliban terror.
