Hillary Says Diplomacy With Iran Probably Won’t Work

Say what? I thought the seas would go down, everyone would love us, and unicorns would travel the lands buying everyone a Coke. OK, Pepsi, since that is apparently the official hopeNchange soft drink: Clinton says U.S. diplomacy unlikely to end Iran nuclear program

The Obama administration has already concluded that a diplomatic overture to Iran, one of the central promises of the president’s election campaign, is unlikely to persuade Tehran to give up its nuclear ambitions.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told the foreign minister of the United Arab Emirates in a private meeting Monday that it is “very doubtful” a U.S. approach will persuade Iran to relent, said a senior State Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity under customary diplomatic rules.

Damn. It has got to hurt when the vast sweet potato pie pan of reality smacks the Obama admin upside the head, eh? (sorry, forgot the link to explain the sweet potato pie thang)

    I guess nobody wants to hear the same old line from the Muslim states, that part where they never back off from their desire and duty to push Israel into the sea; kind of puts a damper on peace efforts.

    Since Mrs Clinton now understands that Iran cannot be persuaded diplomatically to abandon its nuclear bomb ambition, why does she continue to believe Palestinians including Hamas can make peace with Israel?

    In this generation, there will be no better attempt than that made by President Clinton in the last days of his presidency to make peace between Israel and the Palestinians. His efforts were undermined by same “moderate” Middle East leaders he thought were helping him bring late Arafat to the negotiation’s table!
    A successful peace maker MUST understand the culture of the waring parties! Perhaps an Arab-American Muslim US Secretary of State might find the magic solution to Arab-Israeli conflict!But here comes up another question; should such person be a Sunni or Shiite?

    Errrr, but what about Rodham’s “SMART DIPLOMACY”?
    They are giving up even before sending Johnny Kerry Heinz Kohn in on a SWIFTBOAT.

    This gaggle of buffoons is going f#$5 this country up for a long long time.
    Note the timing. Letter to Russia, from Big Ears.
    Please Mr.Putin please!!!??

    Just wait til the US military decides BHo is NOT a US citizen and therefore ineligible to drive the big twucks and order all kinds of pizza from the White House Kitchen.

    Hillary is as pathetic as her former competitor for POTUS.

    What exactly does the pig-in-a-pant-suit believe she can accomplish that Madeline HalfBright wasn’t able to?

    Pukes.

    Bear1909 out.

    Sweet potato pie? That’s a racist thing isn’t it? You’re just prejudice against other desserts.

    Yet when Bush and members of the Right doubt diplomacy with Iran won’t work, they get condemned and called warmongers.

  10. SpideyTerry on March 3rd, 2009 6:26 pm

    “won’t work”

    D’oh! Should’ve rephrased that.

    So why are we giving up the missile shield in Europe if Russia isn’t going to be helpful in ending Iran’s nuke menace?
