One thing we've gotten from talks with Iran

Anyone? I haven't be able to find one beneficial thing that we've gotten (since the hostage release). NOT ONE.


Anyone know?

:huh:

All we're ever expected to get from matters of this sort: increased safety and security of American citizens. Short of that, we have no business dealing in conflict with other nations. Enough policing of the world. We can't even police ourselves.

That's a dead horse that I've trotted out and beaten to a bloody pulp. Obviously, overthrowing a democratically elected government at the behest of an oil corporation by inciting Islamic extremism against the candidate you're trying to overthrow and then wondering why that same country is a hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism and anti-Americanism 50 years later is just crazy talk.

[QUOTE=Jetdawgg;4374077]LOL. Even Panetta states that Iran has made no decision to proceed with nuke weapons:

[url]http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/panetta-iranian-decision-nukes-15686355#.T0V2avHCm9Y[/url]

I suggest to those that desire the USA to engage in a war with Iran, that they volunteer to fight it[/QUOTE]

That being what I posted...I still say f*ck them a**holes. They think threatening the world with shutting Hormuz down or waving their one nuke around like they're bada**es is cool?

We should ship them about 500 more nukes. We'll even save the postage and deliver them via the tip of a missile.

China would get involved here quickly too, I think. They get 20% of their oil from Iran.

I just do not see Iran as a nuke threat to the USA

A post containing 1 concrete example of how talking/negotiating with Iran has helped the US. Just 1.


Apparently, there are none.
