New Diplomatic Initiatives

[jjmaccrimmon]

After years of snubbing their noses and biting their thumbs toward the Syrians and Iranians, the US is actually willing to talk to them. Mind you the announcement was carefully worded to say the "State Dept" versus the "Bush Administration." The purpose was to support the Iraqi Government's relations with their neighbors. Funny that these offers to talk come at the point when the Sec's of State and Defense are testifying before Congress about war funding. Funny how that happens...
