No Iran Talks ?

The New York Times: Reports that the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has stated that the USA does not expect Iran to talk to the USA. This is a crafty move by Hillary Clinton, she does not want to be the fall guy for the Obama Administration when it comes to talking to Iran. The Clintons are always thinking long term. The Liberal pressure groups will not be happy, they want to appease Iran but the Clintons know how much that would cost the image of the Clintons, yes that's Bill also. President Obama might want to talk to Iran without conditions but if expects Hilary Clinton to lose the Jewish vote for him he is reading to much of his press statements. If Obama was to lose in 2012, Hillary Clinton wold be the leading candidate for the nomination in 2016. Thus the Clintons are looking long term, they will not appease Iran and allow Iran to become a nuclear armed power, the Jewish vote in the Democratic Party is a major player. Also it is a good way to undercut Iran, if they wanted to talk it would now look like weakness or their part. Hat off to the Clintons, they are master of the game.
