tweedly dee and tweedly dumber. I hope the "jews" in the U.S. that financed,worked and voted for osama barak are happy. You all have placed both the U.S. and Israel in the most dangerous position. You are aiding an enemy that wants to destroy both us and you!
2. Hilary -iran
bey ,   us   (03.27.09)
the world is upside down Madness to think we can speak to terrorists as if they r "peace loving" people Wake up Hillary! Churchill where r u?
3. THINGS FALLLING IN PLACE
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (03.27.09)
As expected.To start with,the article suggests that the Iranian leader rebuffed Obama's proposal.This is contrary to the fact.The Iranian leader,Ayatollah Khameni did NOT reject Obama's proposal.There was nothing like a proposal to start with.30 years of deception by the USA administration is enough for the Iranians to keep on being alert whether these types of statement coming out of White House are geniune or not..In the past these have been lip service and the world knows it.Iranians will remain speculative till 'real' changes will occur.And mind you, they are now speaking from position of strength,not weakness.So,let us put the cards in proper order and wish both the countries to come to some kind of consensus in their respective policies.You will NOT be able to take Iran for granted anymore.
4. Mutual respect is the key word here!
Bandar ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (03.27.09)
5. Gees ... It sounds like they are desperate!
Ak ,   Bahrain   (03.27.09)
What became of the Great United States of America I once knew! Ronald Regan where are you?
6. THE US VERSUS IRAN !,
Orao Stranka. ,   Tsarigrad u Srbia.   (03.27.09)
Clinton says US will reach out to Iran. IDIOT ! - IRAN IS FOLLOWING ITS SHIA-ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS FAITH WHICH DEMANDS THE LIBERATION OF JERUSALEM FOR THE SAKE OF MUHAMMED AND THE SHIA-ISLAMIC MAHDI(MESSIA). SONER OR LATER THIS WILL BE CLEAR TO THE US. THEN YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR MILITARY MIGHT IN VAIN TO STOP IRAN. IRANS HIGHEST RELIGIOUS LEADER BOASTED AND BRAGGED THAT NOW NOBODY CAN STOP IRAN CONCERNING THEIR ATOMIC PROGRAM. AND ITS OBVIOUS THAT IT IS NOT ABOUT THE PEACEFUL USE OF THE ATOMIC PROGRAM HE MEANT. BECAUSE NOBODY WILL EVER TRY TO STOP IRAN ON THAT PATH. But Clinton reaffirmed US hopes that Iran will help in stabilizing Afghanistan. AFGHANISTAN CANT BE STABILIZED BY ANY FOREIGN POWER, HISTORY HAS PROVEN THAT. Orao.
7. If at first you don't succeed
Danny   (03.27.09)
try try again. I guess Khameni's response to Obama wasn't clear cut enough
8. WHAT AN IDIOT!
Dan ,   USA   (03.27.09)
Iran will think that the US is weakening and it is winning, but we here in the USA will not put up with fascists and dictators like the mullahs. This will be about as productive as talks with the Palestinians went for Israel. You don't talk to dictators, be they named Arafat, Haniyeh, or Ahmadinejad.
9. Same stupid mistakes
Brod ,   USA   (03.27.09)
The same idiots who advised Jimmy Carter in the 1970s seem to be the same ones manipulating Obama. Talking with the fanatics in Iran will lead to nowhere. Expecting the fanatics to help restore order in Afghanistan is like letting the wolves guard the chicken. This is the height of idiocy. If the Republicans were smart, they should attack Obama on his weakness, that is, his overtures to Iran and the Islamist-Jihadists in the region that are based on naivete'.
10. Madame Secretary, when you reach out to Iran
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (03.27.09)
make sure that you have an iron glove on. If not you hand might get bitten off by the regime of hatred! A word of advice: make sure your rabies vaccine shots are valid.
11. #9 I agree, but obama is a stupid muslim himself. Not to
US   (03.27.09)
mention his inexperience, poor judgement he exercised all his life!!!!!!!!!!!! He is less than a novice, totally cluless. Hopefully the Reblicans will back in office soon and reverse all little obama's screws ups.

David ,   USA, exile   (03.27.09)
Position of strength? You are out of your mind! Position of fanaticism is more the truth. Don't ever forget that reaching out has many meanings. The US has nuclear subs in the region and air craft carriers. All capable of reaching out in a manner you have not given much thought to. The US has stealth bombers armed with nuclear weapons that can be sent from our mainland. You are not messing with just any little rogue nation here. You may think that we have weakened but not one percent has been told. Remember shock and awe? That was old obsolete technology.
13. She and Obama are selling out everyone.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (03.27.09)
They are all talk now. Obama is a anti war tree hugger.

David ,   USA, exile   (03.27.09)
Not a bad accomplishment for one so inexperienced and weak huh? He becomes the leader of the strongest nation on earth. He is the leader of the free world. Even with all his stupidity and novice background he has his finger on the trigger of the most powerful weapons on earth. Who are you? Why should we believe what you say verses a man with these accomplishments? Do you remember the saying, keep your friends close and your enemies closer? While I am not an Obama supporter and I believe he is in his position for evil purposes, I still do not underestimate his clever tactics. Remember the serpent in gan eden? Are you intelligent enough to recognize his seed?
15. DAVID GETS WILD..............................#12
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (03.27.09)
No need to,David.The blunders your ex-President did is the outcome that you see.Your aircraft carriers and missiles and the rest of it has been enjoying the sunshine since 2003.What USA has and can do is all theoratical stored in brains like yours.So don't give me the statistics to do with weapons.The real world is where you should descend to.And make sure that it will be Iran that is going to dictate terms.To express such resentments is confined to talk-back,not in the real world and get it right this time.You seem to have been in slumber while the American sailors are enjoying the sunshine in turns in the Persian Gulf. Take it easy and let the leaders deal with the issue.They don't need your advise.
16. About Time Hillary.. but Better Late than Never.
RJBH ,   Methil   (03.27.09)
The US needs to Re-access Its whole M/E Policy .. and It is Natural that Iran will play an Important role in the Region.. I guess It will put Israels Nose out of Joint... but they just have to live with it.
17. #14
Shame on the us   (03.27.09)
1. He is not the leader of the strongest nation on earth, remember the fall of the Roman empire.... US is finished. Frankly don't care about the US. 2. Worse he and the US are bad for the world in every respect. 3. He is not clever, just a egomaniac from the Chicago political machine, corrupt to the core. 4. He is the snake in the grass with his own communist agenda. 5. I agree, he is in his position for evil purposes.
18. Dems believe in negotiation. Iran believes in elimination.
Wake up Billary!Look ,   where Carter got us.   (03.27.09)
19. #11 Jimmy Carter thought he had clever tactics with Iran as
well.Not bad for a ,   peanut farmer. IDIOT   (03.27.09)
20. #15 mamhood
David ,   USA, exile   (03.27.09)
Hey mamhood, you and your islamo jerks keep thinking like that. I love it when you talk stupid. Just set back and relax and dream you have strength.
21. #17
David ,   USA, exile   (03.27.09)
We agree for the most part. He is not "clever" he is"arum" Remember "Nachas" in gan eden? Or are you up on your Hebrew? He doesn't care about the US. The US is made up of people, not a government. The government is the long arm of the serpent and is against the souls of men. Sure the US will fall as Rome did and Obama is probably the one who will bring her down but that does not mean he is not "arum" (sly, cunning, in an evil way). He has power behind him but it is the kind we must be watchful for. He will bring America down because that his goal. He may not even realize it himself. But look out world, America will not fall alone. Mahmood and his crowd of evil are only little tools in his hand. Why can't the world take warning?
22. #21 Because he is the evil that prophets talked about
(03.27.09)
He is evil to the core but he knows exactly the evil he is pursuing. America can fall, ditto for the rest, but we must protect Israel at all cost.
23. THE DREAMING PART WAS IN 2006.......#20
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (03.27.09)
And very lately in Gaza.Using 'smart bombs',dont you know how the civilians were targeted.Noit enough phosphrous was used .You call this strength?I am completely relaxed but doubt you are,however.Nothing to do with Islam here,I am afraid.Truth is universal but you don't see it that way.
24. the story of creation US /Iran style
zionist forever   (03.27.09)
On the first day Bush was threatening Iran to end its nuclear program or the US will use military action. On the second day Bush toned down and said we want to negotiate but the military option is on the table and went round in circles offering carrots and sticks for years acheived nothing because there was no will to use force just threaten. On the third day Obama rested. He flatly ruled out the military option. He has taken carrot & stick policy off the table and replaced it with the carrot and the bigger carrot. All we want to do is discuss how big the reward America will give you should be. Even Israel doesn't threaten to take action if needed anymore all we do is say how much we support for American negotiations. Iran has played the whole world for fools and they continue to play them for fools but they do it better than ever now. It reminds me of Hitler Chamberlin in 1939 Chamberlin told Hitler England will reward you with Sudatenland if you promise you don't have anymore territorial ambitions and won't invade Poland. Now go home tell your people you negotiated peace they will love you for it. Mr Obama Iran doesn't want nukes it wants peace nukes are not the sort of thing peaceful muslims want. Now go home tell your people you have negotiated peace they will love you for it Hitler double crossed Chamberlin and if the world continues to play by Irans rules they will be rewarded and then Iran will double cross everybody. Its Iran thats looking like the superpower here the way the US is approaching things.

"Truth is universal but you don't see it that way. " Mahmood you should not waste your breath on ignorant fools. If the truth hits them in the face, they will accuse it of being anti-semitic. It used to bother me when some one calls me anti semitic in his/her talk back, but no more. Anti semitism has lost its true meaning due to its misuse by idiots.

Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (03.28.09)
Can you show me exactly where did David (with whom Mahmood was conversating) said anything about anti-semitism? Or anybody else in the comments here? Sorry for ruining your beautiful thesis.
27. Orao (#6), don't you get it?
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (03.28.09)
The International Community has balls to fight only when: a. its enemy is small, meek, and does not pose any threat to it b. it is not against Muslims, preferably for them. Such was the case with the war on your poor country five years ago, and recently with the recognizing of Kosovo. You of all people should know. The US, which I thought was smarter than to fall into this cowardly trap, is now getting more and more "European" in that sense. Fighting a stupid and isolated dictator in Iraq was easy. So was the war in Afghanistan and chasing after Bin Laden in Tora Bora. But Iran? North Korea? Defending Georgia from Russia? The USA, I'm afraid, is too scared to get involved against the big boys - and thus losing its deterence. And Hillary Clinton, whom I once highly respected - proves she is even less qualified for foreign policy, than Sarah Palin.

Marco ,   Spain   (03.28.09)
Hey David in exile, how did they let some one like you into the U.S? It seems the standard have been set low for you to be able to get in. IDIOT!

You are spot on! True Yisra'el will be protected! There are millions of men who are ready to take up arms and fight esav and his grandson amalak. They think they are hidden but not to those with spiritual vision. Just as many think Yoseph is dead but he isn't. The Jews will recognize their brother soon. The Father is now in the process of waking up Yoseph to his true identity.
