Obama: Nuclear Iran is serious business.

Iran: More evolving stances by Black Jesus.

Sen. Barack Obama said Wednesday that a nuclear-armed Iran would be a "game-changing" situation, not just in the Middle East but throughout the world. Obama said a nuclearized Iran could lead to other countries, including ones with ties to terrorists, feeling the need to obtain nuclear weapons. That, he said, could lead to terrorists getting their hands on loose nuclear materials. "That is our single most important threat, both to Israel but also to the United States of America," he said in the southern Israeli town of Sderot. The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said that if he's elected, he wants to act quickly to mobilize the international community to "offer a series of big sticks and big carrots to the Iranian regime to stand down on nuclear weapons." "But what I have also said, though, is that I will take no options off the table in dealing with this potential Iranian threat," he said. When asked by a reporter, Obama clarified his remarks made during a debate last summer that he would be willing to meet with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea "without precondition." The Obama campaign has since added nuance to that position, particularly regarding meeting with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Obama said Wednesday that he would be willing to meet with any leader if he thought it would promote the national security interests of the United States, but he said there is a difference between "meeting without preconditions and meeting without preparations." "That continues to be my position: that if I think that I can get a deal that is going to advance our cause, then I would consider that opportunity," he said. "My whole goal in terms of having tough, serious direct diplomacy is not because I'm naive about the nature of any of these regimes. I'm not," Obama said. "It is because if we show ourselves willing to talk and to offer carrots and sticks in order to deal with these pressing problems, and if Iran then rejects any overtures of that sort, it puts us in a stronger position to mobilize the international community to ratchet up the pressure on Iran."

The international community including Russia and China have shown zero interesting in ratcheting up the pressure on Iran now and won't change if you are president. As for the preconditions or preparations, on his own website he said he would meet without preconditions. This new stance is just another of trademark Obama middling on the fence while hoping no one actually notices he is being full of it trying to get away from his previous stance.
