You mean why he thinks presidential talks are more dangerous then secretary of state talks? Something to do with the head of the country legitamizing it or something... I don't know... I don't agree but a lot of people do on both sides of the Isle. Hilary Clinton made a big deal about it in the primaries saying that Obama's foreign policy plan would legitmize the worst enemies the US has. ""Talking without preconditions" would require America to ignore three unanimous Security Council resolutions. |
First off, she said nothing of the sort in that video unless I am truly made stupid by how tired I am right now. She said that it was a mistake to PROMISE those talks ("blanket commitment") without knowing whether they would be worthwhile for the US. And it's pretty debatable IMO that saying in that debate that he would be willing to talk equates to a promise to talk.
As for the second part, the UN Security Council resolutions in question demand that Iran suspend and/or explain those parts of its nuclear program which seem strongly suggestive of nuclear weapons development, and let in the inspectors required by the NPT. I'm not sure how snubbed all those parties would really be about talking with Iran on those subjects before it actually stops/starts doing those things, but I'm far, far from an expert in these things so please explain to me why we would offend them with (not necessarily unilateral) talks. I'd be surprised if there weren't UN resolutions regarding North Korea that weren't met when talks were being conducted with that country.
(BTW, it was your source's source that actually had info on what the resolutions were.)

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
