Quote	"No adult can possibly believe that secret talks (of which there have been many, throughout this administration) could isolate President Ahmadinejad.

And a great part of the credit for bringing us to our knees will go to Ahmadinejad, who has been guaranteeing this outcome in very forceful terms."
