From Scott Johnson at Powerline, HOW TO UNDERSTAND OBAMA’S IRAN DIPLOMACY.

I think the easiest way to understand Obama’s diplomacy is this. Assume that Obama believes Iran should have nuclear weapons and would like to facilitate the mullahs’ nuclear weapons program. This assumption is the Occam’s Razor that clarifies what might otherwise be obscure. The assumption may not be correct, but it should prove a handy guide to coming attractions.

It is the same for every policy. If you think of Obama’s aim as harming the white American middle class, and doing as much damage as possible to American foreign policy interests, you will never go wrong in guessing what he will try to achieve. There are plenty of obstacles so he cannot do anything he wants, but he does as much as he can. The American people elected their bitterest enemy to the White House, and as obvious as it is, no one in public life will say so loudly and clearly. Is it respect for the presidency, uncertainty about Obama’s actual motives or fear of exposing just how damaging a presidential system can be?
