Diplomacy Joe

Good ol' Biden is starting to contribute to the effort. Check out his words:

"I'm frankly concerned when I hear the United States is planning a major commitment for Afghanistan but other allies are already ruling out doing more," he said, without specifying which allies.

"That is not good for the political balance ... and it also makes the calls for Europe's' voice to be heard in Washington perhaps a bit more hollow than they should be." (bbc)

Not to be forgotten on the world stage, Good ol' Larijani:

"The old carrot and stick policy must be discarded," he said, referring to Western threats and offers of rewards to coax Iran to give up nuclear activities.

He said the US needed to change its tactics "to a chess game from a boxing match".(bbc)

Fightin' with fightin' words instead of sending our children off to kill each other. Now THAT'S diplomacy...
