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".

I don’t quite understand. Wouldn’t Obama take this as a compliment? I don’t see how this humiliates him in his eyes or the eyes of his supporters.

“Even a blind man could’ve seen that one coming....but not Obama and the Obamatards”

Of course not. They are responsible now and they are also Cowards, so they project fundamental good where actually only Evil exists and so they need not face or deal with evil. In other words: When they close their eyes the badguys go away.

Sadly, you are right, but what’s worse is the MSM won’t put the word out and warn ALL US citizens worldwide to be vigilant. I tell my kid that when he walks to school.

Big surprise. Obama will become more of a hawk within a matter of years, but it will be too late.

Weakness draws aggression, zer0 is a weak fool and they know it. Nothing he can say will stop their nuclear program and Israel will stop it with force. End of story.

Bush was always optimistic and portrayed strength and confidence in all he did. The comparison is shameful to say the very least!

I remember the 1980 election where Carter was running around saying gloom and doom stuff such as "Our life style will never again be as good as it is now". Running against Reagan whose theme was "It's morning in America".

Should make the 2012 elections a rout if only we can run a candidate who is upbeat.

I haven’t heard McCain dissent against Kabama yet...on any issue

McCain is the biggest chicken sh*t I've ever seen. He may have been a POW and brave back in the day, but that was long ago and he's a dem as* kisser now. That cannot be denied. He has no backbone when it comes to politics. He needs to go, vote him out. Had he actually made an attempt to win the election we might not have the obamawhackjob in there now.

Obama's election shows US failure! I just upped my guess at Ahmaddanutjob's IQ 1 point to 32.

Imagine that, there is no diplomatic way to deal with insane people.

Americans are presumed sane until proven insane...Obama's not yet 'proved' he's insane.

someone who leads off with confessions of America’s mistakes.

someone who leads spouts off with confessions of America’s mistakes. There fixed it...0's no leader! just another useful tool of the KGB, an anachronism...back to the 70's we go! The CPUSA fronted Kerry and now 0, both card-carrying communists! Recognition is half the cure!

One of the comments on that site was dead on! Obama is looking at Iran through the eyes of the politics in the West. Just as the commenter said ,it is not a suicide bomber it is martyrdom. Even if they know that if they launch nuclear weapons they could be destroyed they will be saved. And Islam will be saved.We all need to be ready for another vicious attack,more than likely bio-terror because more dead Americans that way. Then Iran will surely have no one in the way to go after Israel. Even though they have to know the U.S. will strike back,I don't believe they care. As Christians we want to have eternal life with our Lord and Muslims want the same thing but they don't mind killing others to achieve it. It's sad to think that's their sure ticket to heaven for them. But scary for the rest of the world.

No it show that Mr. Obama is naive

I'm not buying it.
Obama whipped the clintons right off the political stage, then beat McCain and the GOP like a toy drum.

He did not do all of that by being naive.

Perhaps if we look at his real name a clue to his real policy agenda becomes more clear:

Hussein

Here’s hoping that the change is that Obama’s attempt at failure will fail (to restate Rush’s theme).

Well so far OholyO’s first 10 days have been a complete failure. I think that Israel better get some planes, heavily loaded with some BIG Munitions, in the air, DAMN fast. OholyO is going to get Israel attacked, if not the US itself. The man is murder walking.

That's been my thoughts also. Obama will have more blood on his hands than he could ever have imagined.

In the meantime, he continues to tell the country how bad things are here and that it will take years to recover. Does he not have a clue that a big part of any recession is psychological and he is making it that much worse?

Not to worry, Obama's negativity will be counter-balanced by Joe Biden's unbridled optimism!
