Comment: WH refusal to talk with Iran unless they cease uranium enrichment is counter to Baker wish, and is significant. Of note. The meeting of Baker with an Iran representive in October from Iran's point of view------------------- Iran's basic reaction is that Baker offer was insulting, if he thinks Iran can be bought that cheap he has has a lot to learn. What people ar missing that think that the worst is behind us are missing a huge point. The ISG was bad real bad BUT it is worse than they are saying!! Gates but hinted at how bad when saying matters could end up with Baghdad being as hostile to U.S. as Tehran. What he is hinting. Iran will become the power in Iraq. Any detente with Iran is not gone to come cheap at all, in fact i think what they will ask will be such that neocons will start rebounding. Here's the situation, the Bush failure in Iraq is so catastrophic it now appears that U.S. has LOST on all counts, the region they intended to control!!! But, those, such as , Baker, that would surrender to Iran's demand, realizing what a desperate jam Bush has put the U.S. in will create, ironically a backlash, against ther Bakerites as he is asking the whole Plan Existent be scrapped---it is NOT going to happen , this o boy, yes, we destroy the whole plan we had, and surrender, will NOT happen Plus Democrats are assisting Bush by NOT turning up the pressure, wanting to have this crisis carry into 2008 election, for purely selfish political reason The democrats WANT this crisis to BUILD so they can keep denouncing the WH BUT will do NOTHING to stop this disaster by simply cutting off funds---the moral cowards and hypocrites Those Bush is dead triumphalist have GREATLY overestimated the Democratic Party and i say it is morally depraved as the other party. Neat result---it isn't going to be pretty. Dangerous crass cold politics by the democrats and desperate incompents on the other side--a pox on both Democrats and Republicans. Giving Dems want this issue into 2008, they are virtually guarantee matters will get worse. A lot of erroneous " we have won" mania going around.Max |
