And the relationship with the United States is clearly quite different than the relationship that Iran has with other Western countries, even,\u201d a senior administration official said. \u201cAgain, I will underscore part of the reason we were able to get international sanctions is because the United States demonstrated that we were willing to engage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, I think it&#8217;s because a meeting with The Great Satan would undermine the Iranians&#8217; desire to destroy us. Obama mentioned in comments this morning that he wants to accept at face value the Iranian president&#8217;s statements last week that Iran would never build nuclear weapons &#8211; well, that&#8217;s just ridiculous, and dangerous. It&#8217;s as if we have college students running our foreign policy. The war over the last twelve years has been a proxy war with Iran, but seein&#8217;s how they have John Kerry on the job, I&#8217;m sure there won&#8217;t be anything to worry about. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Times reports that Iran rejected the White House offer to stage a meeting between &hellip; <a title=\"Iran refuses to meet with President\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=37707\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Iran refuses to meet with President<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37707\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
