Obama's July 4th Invite for Iran Government Still On
US says hot dog diplomacy still on with Iran
WASHINGTON
The United States said Monday its invitations were still standing for Iranian diplomats to attend July 4 celebrations at US embassies despite the crackdown on opposition supporters.
President Barack Obama's administration said earlier this month it would invite Iran to US embassy barbecues for the national holiday for the first time since the two nations severed relations following the 1979 Islamic revolution.
"There's no thought to rescinding the invitations to Iranian diplomats," State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters.
"We have made a strategic decision to engage on a number of fronts with Iran," Kelly said. "We tried many years of isolation, and we're pursuing a different path now."
But he said it was not clear if Iranian diplomats had accepted the invitations.
The State Department has said that the invitations are largely a symbolic gesture of goodwill and that the July 4 barbecues were not intended to take up substantive policy matters.
Obama has walked a tightrope since the violence broke out in Iran, urging the Islamic regime to end its repression of protests but insisting he will not let Tehran's leaders cast the United States as a bogeyman.
Wild Thing's comment.......
The Iran government, the KILLERS of our troops in Iraq, the killers of those protesting now in Iran STILL invited????
There is no way I could be more outraged.
Iran's government kills our soldiers in Iraq and he wants to share a steak with them.
TREASON from Obama!!! It’s official: our government has chosen tyranny over freedom. May all involved rot in hell and yessss that means ALL involved!!!
Obama is sending ‘goodwill’ to a bunch of Islamist thugs killing their own citizens in the streets of Iran on a national holiday that celebrates freedom! It doesn’t get any worse than that! Every American should be outraged!

Birds of a feather: Obama does not qualify to be Prez...Amadin..er..Amedena...errr...that Iranian guy wasn't fairly elected and does not qualify as Prez...so they'll have a great time swapping stories. Wild Thing, "outrage" is not strong enough for what I feel about this treasonous jerk. Geez.

Yeah, enjoy the 4th of July you shitstains. My guess is that obama wants to destroy and remove the celebration of Independence Day. The capitalist event can be replaced with celebrating the storming of the Winter Palace or Mao's birthday. The 4th of July itsself can become a gathering of dictators and tyrants.

Hopefully, the Embassies slip in some good old fashioned Real Pork Wieners for the weeners. Then the Irate Iranians find out and embarass this dumbass who is fraudulantly occupying the White House.

Blowbama is so friggin ignorant that he truly and I mean truly believes the persian anti-semite murderers will cease their nuke making after talking with him. He will do anything to have an audience with them no matter the cost to America, Israel or the world.
This piece of shit needs to be locked away and wear one of those nice coats with the arms in the back. A heavy over dose of thorazine is what I would prescribe.

cuchieddie (American), I think your
right, and I agree too there is
something seriously mentally wrong
with him. It goes even beyond that he
hates America, Israel and our
Constitution and is a marxist/socialist
he is insane I really believe that.
