today spoke before the Center for National Policy in DC, where he outlined his views on Iran and the Middle East. His overall message was to engage Iran in direct talks with no preconditions and with no illusions.</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60608.1)</generator><item><title>Richardson on Iran</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/27/244517.aspx#244626</link><pubDate>Wed, 27 Jun 2007 19:44:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:244626</guid><dc:creator>John Doe</dc:creator><description>Here is an interesting approach from Richardson. The question is: &amp;quot;will he be able to withstand the hatemongering and warmongering that comes to us on a daily basis from Israel and its zionist allies among us??&amp;quot;. Bush has already gone to a war in Iraq in the interest of Israel now Clinton, Giuliani, Romney and other presidential candidates are slowly being manipulated by Israel and AIPAC into a war with Iran, with even more disastrous consequences in the future. I, for one, do not see one candidate among the Dems or Reps who will be able to return America and its policies (especially foreign policy) to its people. Not one. All are slaves of Israel. See Rosner's list at www.haaretz.com to understand how I could have come to this conclusion. We all are kidnapped by the Israeli government through our perverted democracy. And if this text will be censored than it is more than clear how far this kidnapping has gone. </description></item><item><title>Richardson on Iran</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/27/244517.aspx#244809</link><pubDate>Wed, 27 Jun 2007 20:03:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:244809</guid><dc:creator>Sean, Torrington CT</dc:creator><description>Whodathunk it...Rice is actually showing some diplomatic skills.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Of course, she still works for the clowns who ignored hundreds of years of history and invaded Iraq anyway.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm sure their cowboy 'tough guy' stance on the world stage wasn't helping Condi win hearts and minds.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let's hope they give her a longer leash...I mean, Bush is going to have to come up with SOME kind of success before his term is up. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Richardson on Iran</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/27/244517.aspx#244886</link><pubDate>Wed, 27 Jun 2007 20:13:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:244886</guid><dc:creator>Dave, Tn</dc:creator><description>No basketballs, chocolates, and 8000 nuclear fuel rods?

Most probably there is only Chuck Hagel (and he is a Rep) willing and able to stand up against the zionist conspiracy (@Gerry: ofcourse there is no Jewish conspiracy, but there damn sure is a zionist one! The best proof of this is the ubiquitous, fake and evil charges of antisemitism when one criticizes Israel, which you also try on me). Our country will not succeed untill we fight a complete war against terrorism, that is Israeli terrorism included! No presidential candidate will dear to say or act on this. He will be killed by the Mossad quickly. That is the kidnapping of our democratic values that is taking place right now.

It amazes me that so many people can't rise to that level. &amp;nbsp;Bill Richardson is about as far as you can get from being Ann Coulter (that's a compliment). He even goes so far as to compliment Condi Rice.
