US to Join EU on Talks with Iran

Condi is speaking now on joining with the EU on talks with Iran. What are the incentives that Russia and China are offering. Wow. First diplomatic efforts since 1979! Hmmmm. This is a definite change of strategy for the US.

"At the White House, presidential spokesman Tony Snow called the move on Iran "a way of making more robust our longstanding position on this."
