Obama's Iran Misstep

President Barack Obama made a huge mistake when he offered to enter into direct talks with Iran in a Friday video addressed to that country.

Iran's response? Thanks but no thanks. They won't talk to the US until we drop our sanctions against them and stop the "hostile propaganda" (i.e. saying that they support terrorism and are developing nuclear weapons).

So, Obama tried to reach out and has now given Iran a tremendous amount of power. Obama claimed that simply agreeing to talk to these people would give them what they wanted. Most of us knew differently. And now we have Iran making demands before they will agree to talk to us. Incredible.

Well done Mr. President.

And what's interesting is that I haven't heard anyone in the mainstream reporting the fact that what they wanted Bush to do...didn't work...
