Biden also fibbed when he said Barack Obama never said he would meet unconditionally with the Iranian leader. The fact is Obama did say it. It was during a Democrat Primary debate on July 23, 2007. Anderson Cooper was the moderator and it was at the University of South Carolina. If you want to fact check me here is the exact transcript. If you scroll about half way down the page you will find it.
Q: In 1982, Anwar Sadat traveled to Israel, a trip that resulted in a peace agreement that has lasted ever since. In the spirit of that type of bold leadership, would you be willing to meet separately, without precondition, during the first year of your administration, in Washington or anywhere else, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea, in order to bridge the gap that divides our countries? Senator Obama.OBAMA: I would. And the reason is this, that the notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them -- which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration -- is ridiculous.
(APPLAUSE)
Now, Ronald Reagan and Democratic presidents like JFK constantly spoke to Soviet Union at a time when Ronald Reagan called them an evil empire. And the reason is because they understood that we may not trust them and they may pose an extraordinary danger to this country, but we had the obligation to find areas where we can potentially move forward.
And I think that it is a disgrace that we have not spoken to them. We've been talking about Iraq -- one of the first things that I would do in terms of moving a diplomatic effort in the region forward is to send a signal that we need to talk to Iran and Syria because they're going to have responsibilities if Iraq collapses.
They have been acting irresponsibly up until this point. But if we tell them that we are not going to be a permanent occupying force, we are in a position to say that they are going to have to carry some weight, in terms of stabilizing the region.
Biden was well aware of this, because he opposed and criticized Obama for it at the National Press Club in August of 2007 while campaigning against him for the Democratic nomination.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited Iraq to tell the United States to get out of Iraq and the Middle East. He claims US presence there has brought only destruction and division. I had no idea Ahmadinejad was a Moveon.org democrat!

More News from the peaceful, tolerant religion of Islam.
A woman was arrested in Iran for not wearing socks. It gets worst…When her sister shows up at the prison to bring her some socks the male guards beat both women and detained them until the morning when they were arraigned before a judge for their crimes!
Compliance with the so-called Islamic dress codes by Iranian women is a must and the violators will be punished accordingly, says the report from the National Council of Resistance of Iran.
The report also says: Thousands of women have been warned for wearing tight outfits, short coats and skimpy headscarves and for flouting the Islamic dress code, which requires every post-pubescent woman to cover their hair and body contours.Wearing boots with short pants, hats or scarves which do not fully cover hair and neck instead of the proper head veil and putting on unusual make-up that contradicts public chastity is forbidden.The mullahs' regime has in recent months stepped up execution of youths in a clear warning to those deemed to be a threat to the society.
Yeah, those skimpy headscarves and make-up are really threatening society. Someone please tell me how any of this makes any sense???
Isn’t the peaceful, tolerant religion of Islam great!

How about some outrage from Muslims here...
Two sisters in Iran will be stoned to death after being found guilty of adultery. They were caught on video in the company of other men while their husband was away.
The sisters admitted to being in the video, but argued no adultery took place because they did not engage in sexual acts with the other men.
I guess in the peaceful, tolerant religion of Islam this is a crime worthy of the death penalty.
In Iraq al Qaeda has sunk to a new low using mentally retarded woman to carry out suicide bombing missions.
Let’s see if any Muslim organizations in the U.S. express any outrage over this. I won’t be holding my breath.
