We get Iran and the repub guard plotting to blow up some ambassadors on our soil. To respond Obama reaches for his sanction pen. Jibbyjabber is just laughing at this fool. Then we have everybody on the left shocked, shocked I tell you that Iran would do this. They've only been arming the insurgency since we jumped the line in Iraq. The blind following the blind is all we have with democrats in charge of foreign policy.

Oh and for those of you who don't know Repub Guard is running around Venezuela and Central America too. They're just being nice though I'm sure.

Now we also have the admin calling up terrorists families and apologizing for killing them.

An official from the U.S. State Department has called the Charlotte family of al-Qaida propagandist Samir Khan to offer the government's condolences on his death in a U.S. drone attack last week in Yemen, according to a family spokesman.

Terrorists are an annoyance and nothing more. Ignore them except for finding the actual perpetrators and trying them for murder according to international law.

I expect the Persians will be foolish enough to try and reinstate their old empire. I think we should stay out of it and let them waste their money just as we have done with our failing efforts at empire. Besides a Shia/Sunni knockdown drag out war for a century or so would pretty much eliminate Islam as a threat to the West.

PS: that was not an apology but just rubbing in the fact that we can kill anyone anywhere. Talk about terrorism. We can and we are terrorizing the world. Some think that is good. I think it is criminal.

I am also amused by the bellicosity of people that have probably never carried a gun for real.

Oh, you just want Obama to start a war with Iran so you can criticize him yet again for starting another war.

I for one am NOT shocked about Iran's behavior. I don't know how you can make a blanket statement like that. It is inherently untrue.

Also, 'playing nice'?

Didn't the administration just kill two terrorist leaders?

You consider that playing nice?

Better get a more in-depth talking point..this one is blatently untrue!

Obviously you haven't been paying attention.

Yes playing nice.............

"US President Barack Obama has offered "a new beginning" of engagement with Tehran in an unprecedented direct video message to the Iranian people.
"My administration is now committed to diplomacy that addresses the full range of issues before us," Mr Obama said."

Yes, that's a good strategy; one of many.

The Iranian people don't necessarily agree with the current government and it's policies, so reaching out to them specifically is a good idea.

It doesn't matter what the people think if their government practices terrorist activities now does it?
