After a week of tussling with the Israeli government on the issue of Iran, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reaffirmed the Obama administration's commitment to a dual-track policy to stop the country from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
"The United States is determined to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and has pursued a dual-track policy to do so," Clinton said in a statement championing the sanctions put in place by the administration.
"Iran must cooperate fully and immediately with the IAEA on all outstanding issues. We welcome the resolve of the international community to make clear the onus is on Iran to abide by its international obligations, honor its commitments to the IAEA, and prove that its intentions are peaceful," she said.
The dual-track policy refers to pursing both high-level negotiations and punitive sanctions to keep the regime in Tehran from enriching weapons-grade nuclear material.
Clinton touts Iran sanctions policy - POLITICO
aren't we gratified to hear that the onus is on iran to abide?
more particularly, isn't it pleasing to be told that the success or failure of obama's entire iranian policy is all dependent on the honor of the holocaust deniers in tehran?
because were we to look elsewhere to spot that onus, we would see:

still clinging to those negotiations, ms clinton?
still convinced that barack obama can go where no one else ever could in suddenly rendering amenable the hate spewing extremists presently in power in the ancient lands of the sassanids?
this administration, this state dept, is delusional

HuffPo: Iran Nuclear Weapon Capabilities Closer: UN Report
after apologizing and not apologizing, after blaming the first amendment and defending it, after stating that egypt is and is not an ally, after refusing to meet with bibi then improvising a panicked appointment for morsi, after stubbornly sticking to the specious claim that benghazi was spontaneous, after trying to attribute all the anti american animus engulfing the middle east to a still rather anonymous video...
sanctions, anyone?
iran is gonna nuke, a fact awful and terrifying
it's not just the supreme leader and adolf ahmedinejad the west needs worry about
the iranian sponsorship of hamas, hezbollah and the palestinian front is equally troubling

indeed, it is the effects of that very drone program (namely, al libi's assassination in pakistan in june) that seniors in the state dept, libyan security and the democratic chair of armed services, carl levin---after being briefed by defense secretary panetta---see as the motivation behind the benghazi attack

obama's foreign policy is built wholly on denial
his gratuitous apologizing to the egyptian aggrieved merely gasses em up, they naturally seize on any admission as an indication of fault
obama's policy is marked by the exact same head-in-the-sand delusion and denial in afghanistan
general allen two weeks ago, in response to this frightening frequency of green on blue killings, asserted adamantly that the turning of our "allies" against us in obama's war is NOT taliban directed

rather, it is the natural product of "stress and personal grievances"
you can't run a foreign policy by lying to yourself
and if obama thinks that all that middle east anger and animosity burning thru our tv screens is explainable only after looking at some obscure video...
either way, his middle east policy is in ruins, his grand reachout rebuffed
