Iran says Obama's offer to talk shows US failure
Breitbart.com ^ | 01.31.09

Posted on 01/31/2009 7:04:01 AM PST by Perdogg

US President Barack Obama's offer to talk to Iran shows that America's policy of "domination" has failed, the government spokesman said on Saturday.

"This request means Western ideology has become passive, that capitalist thought and the system of domination have failed," Gholam Hossein Elham was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.

"Negotiation is secondary, the main issue is that there is no way but for (the United States) to change," he added.

After nearly three decades of severed ties, Obama said shortly after taking office this month that he is willing to extend a diplomatic hand to Tehran if the Islamic republic is ready to "unclench its fist".

Maybe the Kenya born will finally go get his REAL BC out of the vault and tell his mooslim friends that he’s one of them and they need to make friendly with him. /sarc

Obama’s friendly overture followed by Iran’s insulting rejection allows Obama to say “I tried” before he resumes America’s hard line stance against Iran. I think this was a necessary and useful step for Obama to take.

I’m saying Obama can make his overture useful but I doubt that he’ll do it.

When I look at my president I want to see an eagle with flesh-tearing beak and flesh-grabbing claws. I want to see an extreme patriot. I don’t want someone who leads off with confessions of America’s mistakes.

Why not? What do you expect from someone who soaked up his pastor's preaching G-d d---n America for 21 years.

I’m surprised that wasn’t included in the “stimulus bill.’

Well, wait until Hillary gets sent over there. For more of her famous “dialog”.

That will surely make the Muslim World cringe in fear of a woman in a pant suit, with a “dialog”.

(God help us.)

Funny how history repeats itself. Same thing happened when we sucked up to Germany and Japan right before they took advantage of our pussy footing around and giving them time to arm to the teeth and start taking Europe and finally hitting us at Pearl.

If we could borrow a word here from Jackie Gleason for Amadiniwackjob it would be “How sweet it is”!(of course and they are going to make him bend over backwards with their demands other than 60 year apology.

AmadWackjob doesn’t deserve the 60year apology.He wasn’t even born at that time of history but he has the persian gall and impudence to demand such.

We shall see won’t we?

He's going to put polish back into our foreign relations with dictators. Kind of like Jimmy Carter did.

It means Obozo has further encouraged these radicals to further escalate violence and terror.

Are you safer now than you were 4 weeks ago?

Even with Mclaim, we would, at least, have Palin as VP and none of the cabinet members (including Hitlery) in his admin. Not to mention an anti-Israel, pro-abortion, anti-military and pro-gay prez. Thanks to all who sat the election out, now have an illegal prez that is totally insane as well as being surrounded by the most liberal insane and corrupt cabinet members ever assembled in the history of past presidencies.

It means that the One is setting out to make it fail, not that it must fail.

“Iran says Obama’s offer to talk shows US failure”
No it show that Mr. Obama is naive, by extending a hand in friendship he thought that he was dealing with civilized humans only to be backhanded in the face by barbarians that have no understanding of how to get along with anybody. Very predictable by those of us that base our reality in the real world. Mr. Obama received a lesson in the real world of why might makes right.

That was fast. They didn’t even try to play him along first. Obama should win the Theo van Gogh award for unwarranted optimism about other people.
