Not time for more sanctions on Iran, sayeth the Chinese!
And so the President has to decide: start talking directly with Iran or try to keep yet another coalition of the unwilling together.
So far, the policy seems to be, as it is on most everything these days, hit and hope.
We’d like the Iranians to come to the table, we’d like to see regime change in Tehran, we’d like to keep the Israelis from pulling the trigger.
But there’s very little we can do to achieve this until and unless bilateral talks begin.
The President is certainly smart enough to know this, but he’s also handicapped by the need to appear tough on underwear bombers.
Gorilla thinks it’s more or less a Brooklyn Dodgers scenario: “Wait til next year!”
