#1 U gotta luv the headline. Obama could open "early" Iran nuclear talks.

Then we find out that we have been talking to thems since July. So how is early next year if he wins the White House going to be earlier than now?

oh wait.... here's the key: Washington needed to give Tehran a sharper choice between the consequences of continuing its suspected pursuit of nuclear weapons and the benefits of giving it up.

Ahhh... benefits. And what would those benefits be?

the Iranians they would benefit if they changed direction. "It is a course that will help them build up an economy that is showing considerable strain," he added

Translation? Hey Iran and radical Islamists, throw money to me now and I will throw money to you later.

The politics of change. Loose change, that is.

#7 If BO wins and he has early negotiations with Iran, Why do I have this feeling of being screwed royally and sold out? Negotiations from a position of weakness and naivette?
