Robert Gates yesterday on talking to Iran:

"We need to figure out a way to develop some leverage ... and then sit down and talk with them. If there is going to be a discussion, then they need something, too. We can't go to a discussion and be completely the demander, with them not feeling that they need anything from us."

Grow up, Mr President. Be an adult, like your defense secretary.
