Oh, for Pete’s sake.

When did this kind of touchy-feely, please-don’t-hurt-me, infantile pleading to “unclench your fist” become the basis of America’s foreign policy? Never mind, I know: January 20, 2009.

Clinton Repeats Obama on Iran: ‘Reaching Out a Hand, but the Fist Has to Unclench’.

Secretary Hillary Clinton repeated President Barack Obama’s words on Iran from an interview last month with al Arabiya television.

“Iran has an opportunity to step up and become a productive member of the international community,” she said after a meeting with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband. “As president Obama said, we are reaching out a hand, but the fist has to unclench.”

On a day when Iran launches a satellite into orbit. This is pathetic.
