Reply #11: a walking contradiction

On one hand he's warning Iran, on the other hand he's only talking about "talking it out". Now, why would a country with nuclear ambitions give a rat's ass about someone "talking it out"? Unless military action is on the table, which Clark backs away from, they can talk until the end of time. We've been involved with talks with North Korea for quite some time, and it changed nothing. The Norks have gone ahead with their nuclear program, just as planned.

So, what happens if the talks don't go according to plan? What if, after ages of talking about smaller issues, agreements simply can't be met on the larger issues? What if other countries threaten their neighbors with nuclear weapons, or any other kind, for that matter? Then what? Are military options off the table in any case? Is Clark pandering so hard he can't mention military action, but only alludes to it?

I guess maybe Wes Clark likes talking about talking. That's a piss poor substitute for a plan, and really doesn't seem on the up-and-up.
