CHICAGO, Oct. 31, 2007 — Senator Barack Obama says he would “engage in aggressive personal diplomacy” with Iran if elected president and would offer economic inducements and a possible promise not to seek “regime change” if Iran stopped meddling in Iraq and cooperated on terrorism and nuclear issues. . . .“We are willing to talk about certain assurances in the context of them showing some good faith,” he said in the interview at his campaign headquarters here. “I think it is important for us to send a signal that we are not hellbent on regime change, just for the sake of regime change, but expect changes in behavior. And there are both carrots and there are sticks available to them for those changes in behavior.”

The Guns of August Summit between Jody and the Gang-bangers!
The under-the-public’s-radar gathering -- first reported in Saturday’s editions of the Sun-Times -- was part of the new Chicago Gang Violence Reduction Initiative.
“They did not like the idea at all,” Weis said Saturday at an unrelated news conference with Mayor Daley.
“We are focusing on group responsibility,” Weis said. “If one of these guys should kill another gang member, we are going to come down on them with all the firepower we have.”
Great to the City of Chicago is willing to give Bro Man, Bo Diddley and all the other Urban Translators a heads-up on the mutually benefical compacts to come!
When will Americans begin again to laugh at the clowns and not give them any authority? Soon, I hope.
