And just what the hell would you tell Iran, Senator Obama?

From Drudgereport:

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Tuesday called for a "diplomatic surge" including talks with US foe Iran, to help stabilize the situation in Iraq.

The Illinois Senator called for more pressure on the Iraqi Government to embrace political reconciliation and a regional "diplomatic surge that includes Iran."

"We should be talking to them as well," Obama told the top US General in Iraq David Petraeus and US Ambassador to Baghdad Ryan Crocker.

"I do not believe we are going to be able to stabilize the situation without that" said Obama, adding that a plan for US troop withdrawals was needed to force Iraqi factions to work together.

"I think that increased pressure in a measured way, in my mind, and this is where we disagree, includes a timetable for withdrawal. Nobody is asking for a precipitous withdrawal."

This idiot CANNOT believe what he is saying. If he thinks that we ARE NOT "talking" with Iran now, what does he imagine is going on?

And what is HE going to say that's any different? He wants Iraq to talk to the country that is supplying bombs that kills Iraqis. He wants them to reconcile with a country that wants more influence in Iraq. What is Obama going to offer the Iranians to stop attacking Iraqis and Americans? What could he possibly offer them that would make them shut up, stop killing people and go home?

And if that question doesn't keep you up at night, you have not been paying attention.
