Then you'll be blaming Obama ,Days....soon on that one. You know I know the bots here were busy with much more important matters like posting about me, the past few days...but, they apparently missed the fact that within hours of the Sarkozy critiques, being unleashed in the world media, (where Sarkozy said he thought Obama naive and egotisical)..... Obama did indeed come on TV and he gave a 15 minute or so, talking very, very tough about Iran.
I suspect as this issue was the main issue about Obama that bothered French President Sarkozy...(the fact that he sees Obama as too naive and soft on Iran), that Obama decided to fill that particular leak in the dike and stick in his little finger, to stop the leaking and he took a tough stand against Iran.
In essence: Sarkozy bullied him into it.
But, credit to Obama, at least, for standing up to the plate, and saying what needed to be said (as Sarkozy suggested ,he should do).
Obama conveyed in his short speech two days ago : That Iran is on notice now , that they have to allow the IAEA into inspect all nuclear sites and comply with all conditions. If they do not...Obama went on:. Aggressive actions (likely sanctions) will be forthcoming.
It was interesting because this was a general standard of understanding anyway...but Obama apparently thought he needed to take the extra time to make a quick 15 reiteration of his position on Iran ,in the national media , again, on Thursday.
