Smart Power! on Iran, yet another expired promise?

I Remember several times during the campaign, and  during  the second Presidential debate,  when Obama declared, "A nuclear Iran is unacceptable!".  Well it seems like we've just reached that promise's expiration date:

The Obama administration is quietly laying the groundwork for long-range strategy that could be used to contain a nuclear-equipped Iran and deter its leaders from using atomic weapons.

U.S. officials insist they are not resigned to a nuclear Iran and are pressing negotiations to prevent it from joining the world's nuclear club. But at the same time, the administration has set in place the building blocks of policies to contend with an Iran armed with atomic weapons.

So it appears that the unacceptability of a nuclear Iran was Just Words! like so many other promises made to America and her allies.  But will the administration really sit back and allow this to happen?  An event that would surely deal a death blow to the Democrat's foreign policy credentials at home and abroad.  Especially when he enjoys a European consensus on denying Iran that capability, as well as the weapons to accomplish it...

I'm praying that the President finds the will to put a stop to Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions, and would urge you too also.  Just as there are no moderate Taliban, so too can there be no MAD doctrine, no detente, with an Iranian regime bent on Israel's destruction-and proven willing to sponsor and conduct suicide attacks to advance that cause.
