[Peace-discuss] What Kissinger Said: "I Do Not Believe That We Can Make Conditions"

[Robert Naiman]

Jim Lehrer missed an opportunity last night to help clarify for people
watching the debate what is in dispute between Democrats like Barack
Obama and Republicans like John McCain about U.S. policy towards Iran.
For the record, this is what McCain adviser former U.S. Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger said about U.S. policy towards Iran, according
to the transcript on CNN's website:

"I am in favor of negotiating with Iran.... But I do not believe that
we can make conditions for the opening of negotiations."
...
What [the neocons] fear is not that talks would be useless, but that
they might be productive...
