What an idiot.


Iran says Obama's offer to talk shows US failure
Jan 31 08:16 AM US/Eastern

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".

In response, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad launched a fresh tirade against the United States, demanding an apology for its "crimes" against Iran and saying he expected "deep and fundamental" change from Obama.

Iranian politicians frequently refer to the US administration as the "global arrogance", "domineering power" and "Great Satan".

Tensions with the United States have soared over Iran's nuclear drive and Ahmadinejad's vitriolic verbal attacks against Washington's close regional ally Israel.

Former US president George W. Bush refused to hold talks with the Islamic republic -- which he dubbed part of an "axis of evil" -- unless it suspended uranium enrichment, and never took a military option to thwart Tehran's atomic drive off the table.

The new administration of Obama has also refused to rule out any options -- including military strikes -- to stop Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

Iran denies any plans to build the bomb and insists its nuclear programme is solely aimed at peaceful ends.

I love you bug! Thanks for posting some life back on here!

I'm glad to see some posting as well. Although at times it looks a little more like the posts for an ultra-conservative Republican blog. At least there's some postings.

Remember, these are just the views of a moderate Democrat.

BTW Shawn, did you check out my review for Pep #17 yet?

I'm reposting current articles from the media. It might look like a conservative blog simply because Obama's already proven himself to be a world class f*ck up during his first few weeks in office.




I love how you keep trying to convince us of this.

Bug, leave poor Kelso alone!

Don't woory, Shawn! I can take care of myself.

Its OK Kelso. We need Bugaboo to remind us just how lucky we are to have a president like Obama in these tough times. Plus, hus wife is Hot!

That's true, Pokey! After all, Bugaboo is just exercising his First Amendment rights just like we are. And we do have the freedom to disagree.
