For weeks, Obama played a form of international chess to build a unified multi-national front against Iran while preserving the option to talk and negotiate. He abandoned plans for a ballistic missile defense in Europe , apparently in part to win Russian cooperation, slapped tariffs on Chinese tires, arguably to prod them along, then huddled with their leaders and finally rolled out the news that he'd held close to the vest for months — that Iran has a secret uranium enrichment plant. "This is a very clever way of doing it," said Fariborz Ghadar , a professor at Penn State University and Iran scholar at the Center for Strategic and International Studies . Isn't it refreshing to have 'clever' and our President mentioned in the same breath?

Rather than cancelling the Oct. 1 meeting between officials of Iran and Britain , China , France , Germany , Russia and the U.S., as some neoconservatives argued he should, Obama incorporated the meeting into his negotiating strategy. All along, he appears to have been working to assemble a unified international response to Iran , including not just close allies such as Britain and France but those major powers, such as China and Russia , which in the past have been reluctant to support tough sanctions against Iran . Every thing Obama does he does with such intelligence and competence.
