I thought the time for tough rhetoric was gone and a new age of "change" was going to happen from diplomacy? Dream of the iris put it VERY well with this statement: "Well of course Obama's gonna say that to the AIPAC."

Barack Obama's original answer seemed crystal clear: last July, asked whether he would meet with the "leaders" of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea "without precondition," during his first year as president, he quickly answered yes.

"I would," Obama, D-Ill., said at the CNN/YouTube debate. "And the reason is this: that the notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them -- which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration -- is ridiculous."

Obama has not renounced his commitment to meet directly with the leaders of rogue nations, including Iran. But in recent weeks, his top aides and advisers have sought to add caveats to his promise

How soon they forget. When he made this statement about no preconditions both Clinton and McCain said he was being naive. "Give the people what they want"......another way of saying "change"?

Have a good one!:s4:
