Clinton: Time to Move Toward New Iran Sanctions

David Gollust | The State Department  | 05 February 2010

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Friday it is time to move toward new sanctions against Iran, given the lack of a clear response from Tehran to a proposal to ease concern about its nuclear intentions. Senior officials of the six major powers conducting nuclear diplomacy with Tehran held a telephone conference call Friday.

Despite seemingly-conciliatory comments by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad this week,  Clinton says there has still been no definitive Iranian reply to a compromise nuclear proposal offered last October.

She says it is important now to consider additional sanctions against Iran, and that the United States is reaching out to other major powers on the issue, including China which says it opposes early punitive action.

Obama will never get tough on Iran the way Hillary wants him to. And Imanutjob knows it.

Yep!  This is why our foreign policy execution is extremely difficult. Hillary has been a tremendous ambassador-in-chief and a major facilitator in troubled waters as we saw between Turkey and Armenia, between Ireland and UK.  But when it comes to tough issues especially Iran, the leadership needs to come from the WH and that has been a bit lacking.

Obama is going to be a one term President because he refuses to get tough.  Sanctions never work anyway but at least we don't look like we are just sitting ducks to Iamanutjob.
