The news this morning is that Iran has for some time been developing a secret nuclear development site underground, and only announced it when it learned that it was a secret no longer.

Two points of note:

The timing of this broke well for President Obama and the United States, poorly for 'President' Ahmadinejad and Iran. They were at the United Nations, and Ahmadinejad made a poor performance, as he is perceived by most of the world as illegitimately holding an office he actually lost in an election that started out to be maybe fair and partially free, but devolved to the level of a Chicago mayoralty run of the thirties. He is also seen as a mouthpiece of the unelected religious council that actually calls the shots in Iran for now.

Secondly, Obama, unlike his predecesser, consulted with American allies, especially Great Britain, and those not necessarily our allies but concerned in the region, Russia and China. Gone are the days of prepossessing pride and go-it-alone antics.

We will see how these tactics fare in comparison to the former US admin.
