White House Misread Russia on Iran

The Obama administration believed Russia was going to back sanctions against Iran, but may have spoken too soon.

The Obama administration was elated a month ago when the Russian president said sanctions against Iran for its nuclear program could become "inevitable." Washington's reaction may have been significantly premature.
Dmitry Medvedev's words were seen as a major Kremlin shift and one that would buttress U.S. attempts to combine renewed negotiations with Tehran and a united front that threatened Iran with punishing global sanctions for failure to come clean about its nuclear ambitions.

The deal must have also included scrapping missile defense and throwing the allies to the Russian wolves. See, this is what happens when you give stuff away with ""good" (i.e., stupid) intentions.

They saw him coming, the appeaser, and they will take full advantage of him.

As a truly great president once said; trust, but verify.

Obama just got rolled.

Is this really so surprising?

We're all soooo scared of Iran!

It has a military budget 1% of the USA miltary budget.

It's never attacked another Country in modern history.

Why can't Obama control the World?.......Whaaaaaah!

Uncle Sam's big old nose is so long from reaching around the globe, and sniffing too many cracks. It's so long that Atlas can jump rope with it !

What!!!

You are surprised that Obama got something wrong again?

His followers are going to have a group hug when the idiot gets something correct.

Yes, he lack of experience and his decision making skills are coming to light quickly as he continues to make a ass out of himself all over the world.

This is true and both Bushes put that big old nose out there. Obama just inherited it. I made a statement on facebook during the inauguration that it will finally be nice to see the White House Rose Garden without a Bush in it. Got a bunch agreeing with me.

I guess you missed the problem-

Iran with a nuclear bomb is no threat for a direct attack on the US. Any idiot knows that. The threat is

1. Starting a nuclear war in the gulf, thus crippling world oil supplies

2. Arming terrorists with a nuclear weapon to be used against the US


Wake up

Terrible "reporting." No examples showing the Obama administration was "elated" or "clearly delighted" after last month's meeting, just the "reporter's" perception, stated as "fact." This is not a news article but a commentary, in keeping with Fox's thinly veiled attempt to disguise opinion as news in its anti-Obama agenda.

In fact, President Obama's statement after meeting with Medvedev:

"I believe that Russia and the United States shares the strategic objective that Iran can pursue peaceful energy sources but that it should not pursue nuclear weapons. I believe we also share the view that this should be resolved diplomatically, and I am on record as being committed to negotiating with Iran in a serious fashion to resolve this issue.

"Russia, as a major leader, I think believes that such an approach is possible, as well. But I think we also both agree that if Iran does not respond to serious negotiations and resolve this issue in a way that assures the international community that it's meeting its commitments, and is not developing nuclear weapons, then we will have to take additional actions and that sanctions, serious additional sanctions, remain a possibility."
