Iran Offers Direct Talks With U.S.

Iranian President Proposes Public Talks With President Bush On Wide Range Of Issues

(AP)  Iran's hard-line president proposed Monday to hold public talks with President Bush on a wide range of issues, without saying whether that included international suspicions of the Iranian nuclear program or allegations of Iranian meddling in Iraq.

"Last year, I announced readiness for a televised debate over global issues with his excellency Mr. Bush. And now we announce that I am ready to negotiate with him about bilateral issues as well as regional and international issues," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying on the Web site of Al-Alam, Iran's state-run Arabic satellite television channel.

The Iranian leader did not elaborate on what specifically he was willing to discuss with the U.S. president, but he said the talks "should be held with media present."

It was not immediately clear if Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say in all state matters, supported Ahmadinejad's proposal.

Khamenei has regularly rejected any direct talks between Tehran and Washington because of what he calls U.S. "bullying" of Iran. The two countries have not had diplomatic relations since the 1979 storming of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.

The Bush administration said the United States has already offered discussions.

"Instead of offering televised debates or a media spectacle, the United States has offered actual discussions if Iran would only agree to what the international community has asked for repeatedly: stop uranium enrichment and reprocessing," Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for the National Security Council at the White House, said Monday. "We're ready whenever they are."

Ahmadinejad's offer was not his first overture to Bush. Last year, Iran's president proposed holding a televised debate with the American leader, but the White House called the offer "a diversion from the legitimate concerns" about Iran's nuclear program.

He also wrote a letter to Bush last year that Washington dismissed as irrelevant because it did not address suspicions that Iran is trying to develop atomic weapons. Tehran denies doing that, saying the program is for the peaceful use of nuclear reactors to generate electricity.

The United States and others also have accused Tehran of helping Shiite Muslims militias blamed for much of Iraq's sectarian bloodshed, a charge Iran denies.

Ahmadinejad told Al-Alam that he thought the United States was "unlikely" to use military force against Iran because of the dispute over the nuclear program. U.S. officials have said Washington has no plans to attack Iran.

"It is unlikely that such a will exists in the United States. I think there are enough wise people in the U.S. administration to prevent such a decision," Al-Alam quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.

The Iranian leader said military means are the wrong approach to solving disputes. "If some think that by resorting to threats they (can) change the world in favor of themselves, they are wrong," he was quoted as saying.

Earlier Monday, Ahmadinejad defended what he said are Iran's peaceful nuclear intentions and called on the European Union to speak for itself during nuclear negotiations.

Iran and the EU were to resume talks in Turkey on Wednesday over the Islamic Republic's nuclear program. Javier Solana, the EU's foreign policy chief, said he would meet with Iran's top negotiator, Ali Larijani, to see if Tehran can be persuaded to halt uranium enrichment in exchange for negotiations about economic incentives.

The U.N. Security Council has imposed sanctions on Tehran over its refusal to freeze enrichment.

According to a document by the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran has started feeding small amounts of uranium gas into centrifuges that can enrich it to weapons-grade level and is already running more than 1,300 of the machines.

The enrichment process can produce fuel for nuclear reactors or, if taken to a higher degree, the material for atomic bombs.

No doubt now, Bush is the Bully in this game. He is in the rotating center of the 'Axis of Evil'... What else he needs? Does he expect Iran to come kneeling in front of the Walking-Liar and beg for his benediction?

-This is a very smart move from Iran. Just wondering who sent the Suicidal Bomber that caused the killing of our 9 soldiers, so fresh from Bagdad... Just wondering. Any relation to be drawn? or is it a simple coincidence?

[pwrslm]

This is just another circus side show. Its another attempt to circumvent UN authority.

There is no reason for Bush to speak to this clown, his actions already speak loud enough.

[randalds]

Bush is not interested in talks because he does not want a peaceful solution to this anymore then he wanted one in Iraq. Bush wants war. Bush wants to launch the jets and missiles and to kill people, men, women and children. That is how he gets his rocks off. That is what thrills this sick bas*****. Bush does not want peace. He wants war. He wants death. He wants to short stroke over the idea of being a "war president". He is sick. He is mentally ill. He IS insane.

[grazinggoat]

Do the research people. It's out there. The "moderate" Muslims that do not participate in this global Jihad are actually killed by the radical Muslims because the radicals believe the "moderates" are not being fully loyal to the false god "allah" by refusing to participate in global Jihad against all those who oppose of Islam.
The best line of defense is to get the truth out to as many "moderate" Muslims as possible.

-SickRick, the best line of defense is to make people like you shut the ****-up, you idiot. You think you're doing a favor to your likened idiots by stating those asynchronous wordings such as false God 'Allah' etc... what a cretin you are.

-You got to understand that Allah is (as someone told me, is the superlative form of God. It's just a word meaning the Only and Unique GOD that caused the creation of 'all' in this seen and unseen Univers. U think that those people did succeed in spreading their religion, were doing it by telling fairy tales such as you. There have been some effort (to some extent some divinity) put into the logical building of this religion.

If America would win in Iraq then the heck with all of it. Can you imagine Muslim Iraqis being preached fairy tales by idiots like you? No wonder they are paying with their dear lives to drive our American troops out of Iraq.

AMEN! There is no difference at all between the most radical of Muslims and people like these two clowns. It does matter if they preaching at Christains or at Muslims, it's still hate and people like this on both sides are the reason there is so much deatrh in the world. No matter what your fariy tale notion of a God is, Christian, Muslim and Satan himself, you do not have the right to take life in it's name or to hope others do and you're all wrong for it.

Of course if I know these two clowns (and I do) they'll come up with a few taken out of context bible quotes that supposedly make their lies and bigotry OK to their god, so we're supposed to believe it too. Funny how when you challenge one of them they always turn to quotes from the very same book that you don't believe in in the first place to tell you you're wrong. lol! It's like saying you don't believe in fairy tales, but then they say something ignorant like "Oh yeah! Well on page three of the book of Hansel and Gretel it says...blah...blah...blah". Like quoting from the book of fairy tales will make you believe in the fairy tales they're quoting from. What utter ignorance!

[randalds]

Looks like swingingdick wants to see the blood flow. How "Chrsitian" of him. Guess he forgot the part about loving your enemies instead of praying for their deaths.

If you want to kick him around some GG go for it. I'm already certain though that if there really was a god then slick rick is sure to be hell bound for his arrogance and the blood on his hands as a Bush/war/death supporter. Of course he'd never get real blood on his hands as like all Bush war enthusiasts he's too much of a coward to fight with more then words. Onward Christian Soldiers my wrinkly old as*s. They're all gutless wonders who send others off to die for their fantasy world of Christ.

You are right, we shouldn't be talking to any of these crazy Muslim's. They are the enemy. Every one of them. Every Sunni, every Shia, every man woman and child. Instead of talking we should bomb and invade all Muslim countries. We have to bomb them there so we don't have to bomb them here. Cause they are coming to get us and they hate us because we're free.

[lars2008-2009]

You are right. They are coming to get us because we're free. We need to bomb and invade all Muslim countries as soon as possible. Unless they convert to Christianity we will have to destroy all of them.

What can you say, the "man" wants blood blood and more blood as long as it's the blood of the "Evil" Muslims (or whatever other heathen happens to be standing in the wrong place when the gunfire goes off). He's a murderer just like his hero Bush. Every person that supports this war is a murderer of our troops just as much as if they shot each of them in the head themselves. Today Bush and his clown supporters slaughtered nine more of our troops. Funny that once they get the taste of blood they can't get enough. Personally I think killing gets them off.

"let them know of the love of Jesus Christ. They are not able to learn about this love in the countries they are brought up in because there are harsh penalties for leaving Islam and converting to Christianity."

Well I think we should let them know about the love of Jesus Christ by bombing and invading them like we did in Iraq. It's called shock and awe. I think that if Jesus would want us to bomb and kill them.

We can wright love letters from Jesus on the bombs as we drop them on the children of Iran. If that doesn't drive the point home we just keep bombing til there's nothing and no one left. As they say in the old testement, God ordered the Isrealites to kill every man, woman, child and beast in the enemies town. And when they dashed the babies heads against the rocks, God was pleased.

We should use cluster bombs like the Israelis did in Lebanon. The ones that don't explode look like bright red toys and when the children run to pick them up they explode. If it doesn't kill them, it rips their limbs off and blinds and disfigures them. If that doesn't inspire the love of Jesus in them then we could just keep bombing til there's nothing left.

Can you provide proof of such an accusation? I want to know proof of direct links between the Iranian gov't and them supplying troops in Iraq to kill our soldiers. When i say "Proof", i don't mean "the president said so, so therefore it is proof".. i wan't hard proof of this. Bush said Iraq has WMD's for sure and proof thtat they were buying yellowcake and we all know how that turned out. So please, offer me irrefutable proof of such an accusation. So far, the only thing i can see that is killing our troops is Bush's unwise war against a country which had ZERO to do with 09/11

Are you saying then... it's not about being morally right in your heart and doing good for others; that it is merely that whoever believes in Jesus Christ is going to heaven? Sounds a little selfish to me... that someone thinks they "deserve" to go to heaven merely for believing in Jesus. Sounds to me, that it is not about helping your fellow man and being a good person. To want to give selflessly is how this world will be healed... To EXPECT to live eternally just for believing in a myth is selfish.

So, what happens to those who died thousands of years ago before Jesus came to be? Hmm? Did they all go to h*ll?
