Iraq Asks Iran to Meet U.S.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry said Sunday that Iraqi officials had asked Iran to hold talks with the United States and that it would consider doing so if the United States made an official request.

Such talks were agreed to in March, but tensions between the countries over Iran’s nuclear program began escalating and final arrangements were never made.

Many of Iraq’s Shiite leaders lived in Iran when Saddam Hussein was in power in Iraq, and some American military commanders have accused Iran of training and equipping violent Shiite groups in Iraq.

1. Pity that the Iraq puppeteer (US) won't respond in good faith.

The * administration and the GOP congress is entirely responsible for this mess. Now that TORTURE is legally sanctioned and HABEAS CORPUS has been discounted by their rule, American citizens should contemplate developing (not detonating) personal nuclear devices as a way for the * GOP regime to seriously count rather than steal and oppress our votes.

This regime is creating terrorists by design. If I give them too much credit then they are too fucking inept to be in government. Their record speaks for itself. They want slave labor and war profits on unbidden contracts. I guess some under the table and under age homosexual sex would be nice for them, too.

Is there any way to approach bipartisan discussions at home when there is no diplomatic opportunity that can be discussed or negotiated abroad?

Have you had enough?
