Hillary to consult Mullahcracy on Afghanistan

Isn't this like consulting the wolf on the chicken hen? Un-freaking-believable, while we're consulting the Mullahcracy on Afghanistan lets consult Saudi Arabia on religious freedom, the ISI on the taliban, and Venezuela on the economy. (Thanks to GM) Reuters

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday that Washington might consider consulting Iran over Afghanistan but accused Tehran of interference in the Middle East.

Speaking to reporters en route to Brussels, Clinton said Iran posed a serious threat because of its nuclear plans and alleged funding of "terrorism," but that Washington was looking for areas where it could engage with Tehran, including on Afghanistan, if such talks were useful.

"Where it is appropriate and useful for the United States and others to see whether Iran can be constructive, that will be considered," Clinton said, when asked directly whether the United States could consult Iran over Afghanistan.
