Has anyone else noticed that dmreed-tard is not making any sense at all?
He tries to mask that fact by saying: "hummmmmmmm..."
that is, as if he's going to say something that is very deep, but he just
winds up doing some kind of weird mental defecation.

Israeli FM: US dialogue with Iran could be problem
By AMY TEIBEL – 1 day ago
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's foreign minister said Thursday that President-elect
Barack Obama shouldn't talk to Iran just yet, warning that such dialogue
could project "weakness" — a first sign of disagreement with the incoming
American administration.
Obama has stated a willingness to talk to Iran about its nuclear program,
which Israel, the U.S. and others believe is aimed at developing an atomic
bomb. His policy marks a departure from that of the Bush administration,
which has refused to engage Iranian leaders.
Tzipi Livni, a contender for prime minister in February elections, noted in
an interview with Israel Radio that Obama is not willing to accept a nuclear
Iran.
But "dialogue at this time is liable to broadcast weakness," cautioned Livni,
who is head of the governing Kadima Party. "I think early dialogue at a time
when it appears to Iran that the world has given up on sanctions could be
problematic."
Obama, who swept to victory in elections Tuesday, reasons that direct
diplomacy with Iranian leaders would give the U.S. more credibility to press
for tougher international sanctions. The U.N. Security Council already has
passed three rounds of sanctions against Iran.
He has said he would step up diplomatic pressure on Iran before Israel feels
compelled to launch a military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities.
Israeli officials describe Iran as the biggest threat to the Jewish state's
existence, citing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's frequent calls for
Israel's destruction and its development of long-range missiles capable of
striking the Jewish state.
Iran says its nuclear program is designed to produce energy, not weapons, but
Israel, like the U.S., is unconvinced. Israeli military officials have said
Iran could have the capacity to produce a bomb as early as next year.
Livni has repeatedly said she hopes international diplomacy prevails. But she
doesn't rule out force if U.N. sanctions don't pressure Tehran to scale back
its nuclear aims. In June, she said Iran "needs to understand the military
threat exists and is not being taken off the table."
Israeli combat planes destroyed an unfinished Iraqi reactor in 1981. But
policy makers and experts are at odds over whether Israel could cripple
Iran's nuclear program, whose facilities are scattered and in some cases
built underground in heavily fortified bunkers.
