MUNICH - Vice President Joe Biden delivered a clear message to Iran, saying Saturday the U.S. was willing to talk but will act to isolate and pressure Tehran if it does not abandon its nuclear ambitions and support for terrorism.
Mr. Biden, how is this different than the Bush policy?
The Bush administration embraced diplomacy - negotiation - carrots and sticks, with Iran. We sold tens of thousands of pounds of grain to Iran, we had low level meetings between representatives of their government and our own. Bush started off his discussion with Iran concerning nuclear power by telling Tehran they could have as many nuclear plants as they wanted ... all they had to do was sell the waste product to the Russians or the French. Iran said no.
The US policy became one of isolating Iran while negotiating.
How is it different?
The answer, Mr. Biden, and you know this - it isn't.
You are lying Mr. Biden, and doing a disservice to the United States, and to the president. When the next administration does the same to you - what will you say? I know what you will do - you will lecture and attack. Bush is above that petty behavior. You sir, are not.
Stop lying.
Biden
