>>> Of course he did. And so did Nixon, Clinton, Bush 1, etc.

None of these men, other than Clinton, would have EVEN CONSIDERED sitting down with terrorists personally without substantial preconditions and groundwork being laid. Clinton foolishly sent Albright to NK, and what we got was a nightmare -- a deal in which NK got what it wanted and we got nothing but another country with nuclear weapons.

Clinton's foolish negotiation with NK is a case-in-point of why you don't do this kind of stuff. Until these idiots make significant, verifiable concessions, you don't even talk to them. Otherwise, you end up with a weak deal in which they get what they want and we get nothing in return.

Clinton & Albright in NK were total amateur hour. And Obama's willingness to have direct talks with Iran with no preconditions is precisely the same thing. Stupid.
