WASHINGTON The United States and Iran have agreed for the first time to one-on-one negotiations over Irans nuclear program, according to Obama administration officials, setting the stage for what could be a last-ditch diplomatic effort to avert a military strike on Iran.
Iranian officials have insisted that the talks wait until after the presidential election, a senior administration official said, telling their American counterparts that they want to know which American president they would be negotiating with.
News of the agreement a result of intense, secret exchanges between American and Iranian officials that date almost to the beginning of President Obamas term comes at a critical moment in the presidential contest, just two weeks before Election Day and a day before the final debate, which is to focus on national security and foreign policy.
The WH denies it all together.
Looks like it was just another attempt to manipulate the Media and Electorate.
Always misleading people...

That's the problem with this present Administration in the WH.
It's so hard to believe what they say.
Iran is trying to get Obama re-elected.

That is exactly right. Now why would he do that? Throwing Netanhyahu under the bus have anything to do with it?
Even if this turned out to be true. Who the fuck can trust Iran? LOL

i think their both as bad as each othertrue but it has nuclear weapons that it has said is used to destory a entire neighbour of theirs. not much better really. both countries led by bad peopleMay be so.... but it doesn't send suicide bombers into building because of their religion.
Iran is much, much worse in my opinion.
Did the US go to war with N Korea over the bomb?
North Korea is not ruled by religious fanatics fundamentalists like Iran!
Are you joking?! They are definitely fundamentalist fanatics, just replace one faith with another.
well it true but i am not sure that north korea leaders would care that much if they died by launching nuclear bomb. Mad people will do mad things if they have toNorth Korea is not ruled by religious fanatics fundamentalists like Iran!

Wrong. North Korea is convinced by Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD). Their nuclear power gives them the ability to avoid an invasion but that's about it. The leaders in North Korea are busy enjoying the rewards and comforts that go with a dictatorship. Their bomb simply means there's not much we can do about it.
Iran is a totally different story. MAD means nothing to them because if they launch on Israel and they are wiped out in response they will have "died for Allah" and they immediately go to Paradise. In Ahmadinijad's mind he is doing his people a favor by assuring their demise in the name of Allah.
To the leaders of North Korea, the destruction of their nation means the end of their ability to live the high life and exploit the people. To the leaders of Iran the destruction of their nation in the name of Allah means an eternity banging virgins.
Remember....with Iran we are dealing with the mentality that put plastic "keys to Paradise" around the necks of their own children and marched them into minefields to clear a path for their soldiers. You think they are negotiating in good faith? Or do you think they are praying to God Obama gets re-elected 'cause they know good and damned well the only thing standing between them and a nuclear weapon right now is "President Romney"?

same with iran. Both full of mad leaders who repress their country and who are danger to the world.
but you are right iran bit more dangerous as they want to wipe out state of israel.
But not mad in the sense that they don't what they are doing. They know precisely what they are doing. They just don't care if they live or die provided they die in Allah's name. Kim Jong-un....he cares if he lives or dies because if he dies his life of luxury is gone. If Ahmadinejad dies in the name of Allah his eternity of luxury has just begun.
You make it all sound so simple, BP!
I don't know what you are talking about. I just praised you for simplifying a very complex topic so that we can all understand it easily. Why the hostility?
