Talk To Me

Prince Obama and His Magic Carpet Ride to Teheran.  What a fairy tale that one is.  But then, what can a 47 year old neophyte Senator with NO experience in international or military affairs do when facing a John McCain in the general election?  Why, propose the most simplistic solution possible to all of our foreign policy problems, and bluff his way through November, of course.   Just talk your adversaries to death, without preconditions.  That's a pipe dream right out of 1001 Nights.  How sophomoric junior Senator Obama.  Would you talk to all of our enemies?  Including Osama bin Laden?  You do know, don't you, American Presidents traditionally talk to our adversaries only when there are clear gains to be made, and certain preconditions are met?  Personally, I doubt that's the case with the Iranians, and I doubt Obama is serious about his proposal to talk to them.  First of all, who's gonna go to Teheran?  King of Kings Obama?  Might wanna check the latest list of fatwas against apostates first.  Who else?  The State Department?  Hell, they don't even want to go to Baghdad where they're surrounded 24/7 by those trigger happy killers employed by Blackwater.  Good luck talking the Dips into going to Teheran where I'm pretty sure the Quds Force guys will want to be their guards, just like in the old days.  Oh, and by the way, we got any Farsi speakers down at Foggy Bottom?  Seems George Bush realized we had a deficit of Middle East linguists about four years after he invaded Iraq.  Finally Senator Obama, are you old enough to remember what happened in 1979?  If you wanna send State Department diplomats over to Teheran, they won't be able to "talk to our enemies" when they get there because you're gonna have to bind and gag 'em first just to get them on the plane.  And in that case, all you're doing is saving the mullas the trouble.  Seriously, this is all a feint by Obama, absolving him of the customary requirement for a candidate to put forth realistic and specific solutions to our foreign policy dilemmas, so we can evaluate them before we vote.  We should call his bluff.  Make Talk-To-Me Obama promise that if he is elected president, he will nominate Hillarity for Secretary of State and come January, ship her off on the Enola Gay to meet with the mullahs.  Dress her up in a gray pant suit with fins, give her a beehive hairdo shaped like a nose cone, and  stamp:  Greetings from the Great Satan on her forehead.  That'll get 'em talkin', and we'll be rid of her.
