Adam Ereli Good Quotations

Obviously what we want to see, what the Russians want to see, I think what the EU-3 want to see, what the IAEA want to see, is Iranian cooperation. To the extent that they do that, it's a good thing. Does this statement by this one person constitute that? At this point, it's just hard to say. We'll have to see.

So looking ahead to the referendum, I think the signs are good that there will be broad participation, that the results will reflect the views and the will of the Iraqi people.

Frankly, that's one of the reasons why, after having tried to resolve this issue through negotiations and through a good and reasonable proposal from Russia, we're having to go to the Security Council.

If we were asked, I think we'd say it's probably not a good idea. Doesn't serve a useful purpose.

We've always made clear that truces are good only insofar as they go, and that's really not very far.

And they're going to be consistent with other countries and other international practices. So, that's a good thing. It's one that contributes to transparency, to confidence, and frankly, to a lessening of tensions, not an increasing of tensions that are, frankly, conducive to arms races.

We want to ensure that all their questions are answered and that there is strong support for what the president sees as a major initiative that is both good for nonproliferation and good for the region.
