McCain apparently does not understand US policy toward Iran
Posted by Max Bergmann

In John McCain's speech today he says something very very puzzling:

Many believe all we need to do to end the nuclear programs of hostile governments is have our president talk with leaders in Pyongyang and Tehran, as if we haven't tried talking to these governments repeatedly over the past two decades.

So McCain thinks that the President of the United States has been negotiating with the Iranians for the past two decades? Huh? Does McCain not understand that the stated policy of the U.S. government since April 7, 1980 has been to NOT TALK TO THE IRANIANS. And that we have not negotiated with Iran over their nuclear weapons program.

Sticking to stories that concern the election: John McCain gave a speech on nuclear non-proliferation. He also wrote an op-ed with Joe Lieberman in which he renounced Bush'.

There are different opinions on this. I enjoyed your viewpoint,if we haven't tried talking to these governments repeatedly over the past two decades.Regards

Both the parties have their own different opinions..so it would not be right to say that anyone is wrong..

To be honest partly agree on what's been said, it does seem to be correct. I guess it all depends on ones perception and point of view. I enjoy reading this blog very much thanks

Both the parties have different opinions on this which is good so that they can be evaluated and implemented..

The poor oaf had no idea he was facing a nation when he fabricated his own importance. Now he's surrounded by people that see him as a bullshitting buffoon. The irony is that he dovetails in so perfectly with this winking wacko Palin. What a perfectly apropos mascot this guy is for the McCain campaign.

John McCain has had a checkered career, that's for sure, but in his STRONG favor was his stand against the corrupting influence of large political contributions with McCain-Feingold.
