Clinton E-Mail Hits Obama on Iran
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/10/25/clinton-e-mail-hits-obama-on-iran/
The language is more biting than Mrs. Clinton’s description in July of Mr. Obama as “irresponsible and frankly naïve” for saying he would meet with the leaders of rogue nations during his first year in office.
Mrs. Clinton generally refrains from criticizing her opponents and prefers the appearance of staying above the fray. This e-mail came after a statement from the Obama campaign early today, but it suggests that the mounting criticism of her Iran vote has been getting under her skin and that even as she is basking in the glow of her birthday celebration, she will fight back.
The Obama campaign returned fire tonight: “All of the political explanations and contortions in the world aren’t going to change the fact that, once again, Senator Clinton supported giving President Bush both the benefit of the doubt and a blank check on a critical foreign policy issue. Barack Obama just has a fundamentally different view,” said Bill Burton, a spokesman for Mr. Obama.

Clinton goes on offense against Sanders on Iran
http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/266622-clinton-goes-on-offense-against-sanders-on-iran
Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is launching an aggressive attack on her top Democratic rival over his perceived inexperience with foreign policy.
On Thursday, a pair of high-ranking Clinton campaign officials accused Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) of being weak on national security, days after he called for normalizing relations with Iran.
“This proposal to more aggressively normalize relations and to move to warm relations with Iran not only breaks with President Obama’s policy, it breaks with the sober and responsible diplomatic approach that’s been working for the United States,” Jake Sullivan, Clinton’s senior policy adviser and the State Department’s former director of policy planning, told reporters in a conference call.
“The proposal would not succeed, but it would cause very real consternation among our allies and partners.”
Brian Fallon, Clinton’s national press secretary, added that Sanders’s position would make him politically vulnerable during the general election, given heightened national fears about terrorism and foreign policy.
