Coulter on Obama and Ahmadinejad - Boiling it Down

Obama’s staff may backtrack all they want, but the fact is that Obama said he would meet with tyrants such as Iran’s Ahmadinejad without precondition. I’m all for talking if there is a reasonable chance for progress; however, we’ve seen far too many dictators use “talk” as a delay.
