One thing conservatives are bad about...

They get caught up in the debate and don't realize when the Liberals start leaving off the whole argument. It's happening right now with the Obama/Iran thing. The issue isn't whether Obama would meet with Iran and whether or not that's bad or good. As Obama likes to point out, Reagan met with Gorbachev, etc. But conservatives fail to notice, and if they don't fail to notice, they fail to reiterate, the point is that Obama said he would meet with our enemies "without preconditions". Never something Reagan did. Never something Kennedy did.

But look at this, they're trying to prop up a straw man so they can knock it down. How does it matter whether it is Ahmadinejad or another Iranian Presdient - or even the mullahs.

BLITZER: Let’s be precise because when they criticize Barack Obama, not only John McCain but others, for suggesting that he would meet without preconditions with Ahmadinejad, who only last week on Israel's 60th anniversary called Israel a "stinking corpse." The question that they ask is what is Barack Obama going to talk with him about?

RICE: Well, first of all as I said, it would be the appropriate Iranian leadership at the appropriate time – not necessarily Ahmadinejad.
