ARTICLE: Clinton Lays Out Iran Requirements, By MARK LANDLER, New York Times, September 15, 2009

I think the show-of-force requirement on our side here will be overwhelming, allowing the Iranians to act suitably enraged. That's why I think Medvedev did his recent hint on Moscow's openness on sanctions: Moscow has little sense these talks will go anywhere, so why not float it?

To me, this is a lot of time-buying, but little else. I don't think our hearts are in it and for good reasons: Israel plays its role to perfection, allowing Tehran to play us for time.

I see nothing here that tells me we're still not inevitably heading to Iran having nukes.
