EXCERPT:
HUME: “Well, the president is saying that he has all the time in the world and he doesn’t feel a bit hurried. I doubt he really feels that way. I understand why he would say that, because the Iranians clearly think that the president doesn’t have much time, and they have all the time in the world. And the president would like to say otherwise in the hopes that that will add pressure to the Iranians. In the meantime, of course, you have these other countries in the region who are worried about the escalation that would ensue if we renew the bombing campaign and all the measures we’ve taken. My own guess is that the bombing will have to resume, that the Iranians are not going to come forward with a meaningful agreement. They haven’t yet. They haven’t shown any real willingness to do so. Somebody in their regime keeps telling the president things he wants to hear, but when the proposals themselves come out, they fall way short of what he’s looking for.”
