Vice President Joe Biden has been pushing privately for a hard line on Iran, and in my exclusive "This Week" interview he hinted at a harder Administration line to come.
For now, he told me, President Obama’s offer to meet with Iran over its nuclear program remains “on the table.”
While insisting that President Obama is right not to rescind his offer to negotiate with Iran and the other “P-5” nations ( U.S., Britain, France, China and Russia ) plus Germany, Biden rejected Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s attempts to condition any negotiations on more US concessions.
“The ball’s in their court,” Biden said. “If they choose to meet with the P-5 under the conditions the P-5 has laid out, it means they begin to change course. And it means that the protestors probably had some impact on the behavior of an administration that they don’t like at all.” - ABC News Story
I thought that Obama had the stance that he would meet with Iran without pre-conditions?
Hmmm. So Bush and McCain were right? This is the Change that we heard so much about?
