Obama says US must try talking to Iran

Nothing but wild speculation. Little gained for Iran's government if doing as posted. But it plays well among those who routinely deny reality – extremists. Everything from the George Jr administration is a lie until proven otherwise by responsible and independent sources. Any claims made that agree with George Jr and without honest confirmation means the poster’s credibility is also suspect.

Only fact is that someone in Iran is doing some smuggling. Smuggling? Sounds just like Americans who also provided massive – the majority of - aid to the IRA.

Let's see. A massive ocean exist between the US and Northern Ireland making smuggling and money laundering difficult. But a massive, open border - made more porous because of George Jr - permits (encourages) criminals to smuggle support into Iraq.

Somehow UT knows Iranian support must be from the Iranian government – not criminals? America could not even stop simple liquor smuggling from Canada. But somehow, smuggling from Iran can only happen with the full cooperation of Iran's government? Wild speculation; also what wacko extremists in the George Jr administration claim.

The problem with claims of massive Iranian government smuggling to kill Americans? It comes from the George Jr administration. People who routinely lie for a political agenda. Same people who deny a "Mission Accomplished" civil war exists; who also invent a mythical Al Qaeda conspiring everywhere to destroy America.

Before any claim of Iranian government conspiracy can have credibility, first, one must address a routine source of such lies - wacko extremists in the George Jr administration.

As wolfd notes, the stupid George Jr insistence of refusing to talk to Iran means only the worst of all possible consequences can result. Again, Reagan said as anyone with minimal intelligence knows: always talk even to your enemies.
