Obama's Plan to Talk With Iran Shows `Weak Judgment,' Kyl Says
 Republican Senator Jon Kyl said Barack Obama's willingness to negotiate with Iran shows ``weak judgment,'' signaling his party will likely focus on portraying the Democratic presidential candidate as naive about rogue nations. Obama's stance of holding talks ``without preconditions'' with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ``shows weak judgment, and frankly, naivete,'' Kyl, the No. 2 Republican leader in the Senate, said on ``Fox News Sunday.'' Obama, the likely Democratic nominee, said May 16 that ``tough diplomacy'' is needed to pressure Iran to foreswear a quest for nuclear weapons. He had said earlier in the campaign that he wouldn't rule out meeting with leaders of hostile states, unlike Republican President George W. Bush. ``What would Senator Obama be talking to Ahmadinejad about, this man who calls Israel a stinking corpse, who said that Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth?'' Kyl said on ``Fox News Sunday.'' Posted by: Fred 2008-05-19 |
