Where is your dress, Ms. Clinton?
"Iran looms over Clinton Europe trip" by Associated Press | October 11, 2009
WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is in Europe for a five-day trip in which Iran, Afghanistan, and arms control are expected to be subjects of discussion.
Clinton will meet with the leaders of Britain, Ireland, and Russia. She began her trip yesterday in Zurich. During her visit to Moscow, Clinton plans to press for a strong commitment from Russia for tough new sanctions against Iran. US officials said Iran will be at or near the top of Clinton’s agenda when she meets Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Tuesday.
Russia and China have long balked at imposing new sanctions on Iran if it fails to come clean about its suspect nuclear program, but Medvedev hinted the Russian position might be shifting after Tehran disclosed a previously secret uranium enrichment site near Qom. But US officials believe it will be hard to convince the Russians on fresh penalties since Iran agreed to allow UN inspectors to visit the Qom site and has agreed to send most of its low-enriched uranium to Russia for reprocessing.

In addition to Iran, Clinton and the Russian officials will discuss arms control, missile defense and cooperation on convincing North Korea to abandon nuclear weapons, the officials said. Afghanistan is likely to dominate Clinton’s visit today to London, where support for military operations in the country has waned in recent months.
And yet you are still there, English. Your politicians listen to you about as much as ours listen to us here in AmeriKa.

"Clinton pledges support for N. Ireland peace plan" by Matthew Lee, Associated Press | October 12, 2009
DUBLIN - Clinton began a five-day trip to Europe and Russia on Saturday. On her way out of Dublin, Clinton stopped at Bewley’s Cafe, drawing large crowds on Grafton Street, and took a few sips of coffee before ordering a half pint of Harp lager at McDaids pub....
Is HILLARY CLINTON an ALCOHOLIC, and would the MSM cover it (remember, they hid Bush's drinking)?!!!
So that explains her diplomatic demeanor, 'eh?
Earlier yesterday, Clinton joined Foreign Secretary David Miliband of Britain in warning Iran that they would not wait long for the Islamic republic to convince the world that its nuclear intentions are peaceful.

Miliband and Clinton also discussed the war in Afghanistan and the situation in neighboring Pakistan. They were firm on Iran, which is defying international demands to come clean about its nuclear ambitions.
Except they have DONE NOTHING of the SORT!!!
In fact, that is WHAT ISRAEL HAS DONE in BUILDING THEIR ATOMIC ARSENAL!
How is that for a BIG, FAT, F***ING WAR LIE right in the middle of your PoS article, 'eh?
Clinton warned Iran that the world “will not wait indefinitely’’ for proof it is not trying to develop atomic weapons. Iran insists it has the right to a full domestic enrichment program that it maintains is only for peaceful purposes such as energy production.
Yeah, HOW DO YOU PROVE a NEGATIVE even when you are BENDING OVER BACKWARDS to please some assholes?
Remember SADDAM and his MUSHROOM CLOUD, America?!!!
Clinton said a meeting in Geneva in which Iran and six world powers resumed nuclear talks was “a constructive beginning, but it must be followed by action.’’ Miliband added that Iran “will never have a better opportunity to establish normal relations with the international community.’’
Before leaving London, Clinton met Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain and stressed that the nations’ relationship remained strong.
Now WHY WOULD YOU HAVE TO DO THAT with our supposedly BESTEST BUDDY, readers?
"Clinton will press Russia on Iran, arms; Possible sanctions, N. Korea, NATO expected topics" by Matthew Lee, Associated Press | October 13, 2009
MOSCOW - Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton plans to press Russian leaders for “specific forms of pressure’’ against Iran if the regime fails to comply with international demands to prove its nuclear program is peaceful.
Clinton arrived in Moscow from Belfast yesterday, primed for a heavy schedule of meetings today with President Dmitry Medvedev and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the Iran question, Afghanistan, and a recent Obama administration decision to scale back a Bush-era proposal for an antimissile shield in Europe. Also on the agenda are nuclear-armed North Korea, which set off another round of short-range missiles in tests earlier yesterday, NATO expansion, the situation in Georgia after its conflict with Russia last year, human rights, and arms control.
A senior State Department official traveling with Clinton said she intends to speak to Lavrov and Medvedev about “what specific forms of pressure Russia would be prepared to join us and our allies in if Iran fails to live up to its obligations.’’
So HOW MANY BRIBES is she offering?
A promise not to foment violence in Georgia again?
The official said it was critical to get tangible signs of support from Moscow because the more united the international community is the more likely pressure on Iran is to work. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the pending private diplomatic discussions. On Sunday, Clinton warned Iran that the world “will not wait indefinitely’’ for evidence it is not trying to develop atomic weapons....
Please VOTE in MY POLL, readers.
***********************
Russia and China have balked at imposing new penalties on Iran although Medvedev has hinted the Russian position might be shifting after Tehran disclosed a previously secret uranium enrichment site near the holy city of Qom. But US officials believe it will be a hard sell to convince the Russians on fresh penalties because Iran agreed to allow UN inspectors to visit the Qom site and has agreed, in principle, to send most of its low-enriched uranium to Russia for reprocessing....
So WHEN is ISRAEL going to ALLOW INSPECTIONS of DIMONA, huh?!!!!
The Obama administration is anxious not to does not want to let up on the pressure and Clinton will be looking for Russian expressions of support for sanctions and other penalties should Iran continue to refuse by the end of the year, the officials said.
Or else what? UN is a failure and we must attack?
Didn't we hear that from the LAST GUY?

NO CONCERN about that INDIAN ATOMIC TEST, huh, Hil?
Oh, yeah, here is a side dish of hypocritical chutzpah from the Amurkn paper:
"Iran issues death sentence to 2 accused in postelection uprising; Ahmadinejad may be anticipating more unrest" by Jeffrey Fleishman, Los Angeles Times | October 11, 2009
TEHRAN - The defendants reportedly belong to two groups seeking to overthrow the government: People’s Mujahedeen of Iran, which is based in Paris and Iraq, and the Kingdom Assembly of Iran, a monarchist group with a base in London. Iran regards both as terrorist organizations....

But they are OUR TERRORISTS, so it is okay.
Protests and rallies have dwindled since the summer as the opposition calculates its next move and the police and military arrest opposition supporters, including dozens of university students in recent weeks.
AmeriKa's tools, just like way back in 1953.
