Note: This is why diplomacy is a professional job, for diplomats and not amateur academics and dilettantes. The confusing and bizarre answers that our new UN Ambassador give to a press flunkie are almost funny. In addition she seems poorly informed and prepared. If this is how she handles the press then our involvement in the UN can only get worse and even less relevant.

Actually, this ambassador is a perfect representation of Obama himself who doesn't understand much about world affairs and is also impossible to decipher. Really, who knows what Obama's position is on any particular issue?

Obama has always spoken out of both sides of his mouth and is virtually incomprehensible without a pre-written speech that he reads from a teleprompter.

That's why I think that ambassador Rice was chosen for the job. She's as incomprehensible as her boss, Obama.

BTW - interesting to see that the Arab interviewer himself is saying what we all know to be true, which is that Obama's willingness to talk to Iran unconditionally is being taken by Iran as a sign of US weakness and encouragement to spread Iran's terrorism worldwide. That's of course true, despite the ambassador's (and Obama's) denials.

Didn't watch the interview, but the Arabs who loved Obama so much are starting to regret it. They didn't realize how far Obama would go to talk to Iran, and g-d knows they are terrified of Iran and their influence in the region. Just look at the trouble Iran is starting with Mubarak, they are trying to get him overthrown for g-d's sake.
