Thanks Yana... He has my vote too ...

AIPAC needs some kick in the ass in this country and NIAC greatly serves that purpose.  

Good to see Fred commenting again..   I guess, somehow, the magical name " TRITA" makes Fred to jump out of no where in a flash of a second just like a Jeanie out of bottle ... lol 

In terms of him being a longtime president as it is mentioned in all Fred's comments on Trita. I should say as long as he does his job as well as he is doing it now I see no reason for him to be replaced. In terms of nuclear weapon ... Fred, dear, let us focus on those who have it  now and do not sign any treaty while keep pushing for pre-emptive strikes rather than those who may have it one day and  still have signed any possible treaty related or not. 

As an Iranian - American I am proud of existence of such an organization. I am thinking to be more supportive towards NIAC. Perhaps become a member and get more involved. And I suggest that to everyone here as well. 

And thanks God that finally we have an Iranian-American Rep with perfect English accent. 

You go Trita ... so far ... so good

Mission Accomplished!

by bahmani on

Now that Trita has made it, I hope he won't forget us.

No argument from me, Trita is fucking brilliant. So brilliant that I don't get him.

I'm still confused as to how all his knowledge of the inner workings of the obviously massive failure between Iran and US diplomacy, has any value, if it cannot focus to affect any sort of change.

Are the paying members of NIAC simply funding the obvious, and are they happy with a Poli-Sci 101 analysis of the dilemma? Or, is there any plans to fix anything here?

I'm already seeing more results on the KONY 2012 campaign in the last 3 days than anything NIAC has done in the past 30.

I'm sure of one thing though, after the US or Israel attacks Iran, or more than likely if this shitty detente-bazi continues for another 30 years, Trita and NIAC will be right there giving us the post-game play by play. Kind of like the weather report, the day after the storm.

Unfortunately, I'm very bored with any of that.

If in the end, the Trita-NIAC game is to NEVER fix Iran, but just use the issue to make a living, Agha-jan Neestam keh Neestam.

Good performance on the show, finally he's wearing a suit that fits, and I was glad to see he did not wear the obvious Green tie like most would.

He really needs to do something about the hair though, I'm thinking he should let it grow out a bit and leave out the gel.

Fuck I hate God but, God help us.

Has anyone read his book?

by Yana on

Is anything new in that book which he has not talked about so far?

Lets do it

by Fred on

Well, lets discuss shall we?

What he essentially is saying is, in his words “I hope it will become a process” meaning the negotiation.

That process has been going on for a long time, years in fact, and what the sane world has got is zero.

Islamist Rapists are producing ever more nuke material and they keep saying they WILL NOT EVER stop doing so. Their rep in Vienna said so again yesterday.

So, the process which the lifetime NIAC lobby president is talking about is to talk until they drop. If that is not what he is proposing, which by the way has been the net result of all the previous talks, lets hear it.

The NIAC lobby is against sanctions, putting the terrorist Guards on the terrorist list, and all other kinds of meaninful pressures.

As for his working relationship with IRR officials, he has never refuted the court documents, why?

Fred :)

Looks like you've run out of things to say about NIAC and Parsi. Sounding like a broken record :)

At some point people expect a response to what's actually being discussed.

Lifetime lobby president come clean!

by Fred on

The lifetime president of the NIAC Lobby has to come clean about his court documented close working relationship with various high officials of the Islamist Rapist Republic (IRR).
