No, "the Onion" is not the source of this article.

The world's greatest practitioner of state terrorism, Iran, will take no part in cooperating with the US in fighting world terrorism.

I am, shocked, shocked I say.I would never expect them to react with such hostility in the desire for a safer, more stable world.

The irony of Iran's position is both sad and funny at the same time.

But what trumps even that for the self-mockery, cynicism it perpetuates is the attitude, perspective of some US official, how far up remains to be seen because I doubt Obama has any real interest in fighting terrorism, naive, clueless, dumb enough to make the request of Iran, with the reality of Iran's global strategy inseparable from its political, diplomatic approach it engages its interests in world affairs.

Who in their right minds could ever imagine Iran cooperating in such an endeavor?

You know, Obama has turned the reality of dealing with pariah states such as Iran in defending his negotiations with the Sh'ite regime as that of treating them with respect and dignity, assisting them economically, lifting embargoes , as the best way to get them to work with us, cooperate to mutual benefit.

Well, the only rationale for anyone to be as stupid as to request Iran's cooperation to help fight terrorism is that this US official must have taken Obama's convoluted attitude much too literally as Iran's reaction foretells.

Guess that settles that. Why did we enter into an agreement with them anyways? Just to get humiliated?

Only Emperor Obama expected Iran to cooperate with the US on fighting anything. Everyone except Obama knows Iran is the root of all evil in the Middle East and maybe the world and if GW has one fault, maybe he should have attacked Iran instead of Iraq.
