Mitt's foreign policy on Iran: Just more vagaries.

It's just amazing at the doublespeak Team Mitt is now engaged in.  When asked what Team Mitt would do differently from President Obama on Iran, Mitt's senior foreign adviser Eliot Cohen told NYT's David Sanger that Mitt would have already told Iran that he would not permit them to develop a nuclear weapon and would draw a red line in a different spot than Obama.

Hey, never mind that Obama said in July 2008, "I will take no options off the table in dealing with this potential Iranian threat."

When pushed further, Cohen explained that the line wasn't necessarily where Benjamin Netanyahu would draw it, either.

To paraphrase Mitt's foreign policy on Iran:

Mitt would draw a line, somewhere.  He won't say where, and we don't know when he would draw that line, but we now know that he will eventually draw a line somewhere.
