We're never going to eliminate the Taliban or al Qaeda. That's too stupid to even think about. What are we going to do, look under every rock for them. How will we know we've killed EVERY bad guy? That sounds like Bush's thinking. 2). President Obama, you've enjoyed a popular presidency but patience is wearing thin on these wars. We're no longer interested in getting involved in other nation's problems. Iraq and Afghanistan have run our economy into the ground, if you haven't noticed. 3). The world has been laughing at us for years. I don't think our empty threats are going to concern other countries anymore. 1). We're never going to eliminate the Taliban or al Qaeda.

A lack of freedom is a lack of freedom, no matter what lipstick you put on a pig.

I'm sure the Iranian government will be glad to receive economic concessions from the people's they have sworn to wipe off the face of the earth.

He'll eventually cave in to whatever Iran wants. After all, Obama gave away his backbone in order to get votes. Gee, with the way he promised that if his 'stimulus' bill got passed that unemployment wouldn't go above 8%, I'd sure trust him if/when he says sitting down with Iran will make sure they don't try to nuke us or Israel.

It is abundantly clear that Tehran's selected government does not represent the will of the people who live there.

The Iranian government has decisions to make immediately. As for the Taliban, I don't want talks with them. Those are the bastards who harbor Al Queda. I don't see how you get a distinction between Al Queda and the Taliban. They're the same entity in my eyes. They're still allowed to the table.
