‘Nuanced’

Massachusetts Democrat Elizabeth Warren gives a non-answer on Iran, saying that we should leave “all options on the table” and cheering the president’s very “nuanced” foreign policy:

The “all options on the table” approach might be suitable by itself—except that Warren skirts praising any approach or policy in particular and is ambiguous enough to give off the impression that she has no idea what she’s talking about. As for the president’s “nuanced” approach: Obama’s approach to Iran seems indeed to be so nuanced that it isn’t doing anything to prevent the mullahs from inching closer to acquiring a nuclear weapon. And that’s certainly nothing to praise. 

As the Boston Herald reports, Nate Little of the Massachusetts Republican party blasts Warren for her statement.

“It is both perplexing and extremely troubling that on the same week a report indicated Iran is moving closer toward obtaining nuclear weapons, Elizabeth Warren would call for a ‘nuanced’ approach toward this growing threat,” said Nate Little, executive director of the Massachusetts Republican Party, just one of several conservatives to draw a line in the sand over Warren’s televised remarks.
“What is needed right now is not nuance, but a clear, consistent and unmistakable message from the United States that a nuclear-armed Iran is unacceptable and won’t be tolerated,” Little added in a Mass GOP statement.

And Warren’s Republican Senate opponent, incumbent Scott Brown, also goes after the Democrat in a state, according to the Herald:

“If Iran obtains nuclear weapons, it would add a frightening new dimension to their campaign to export terrorism around the region and the world, threaten America and fulfill its promise to wipe Israel off the map. With the stakes so high, the United States simply cannot afford any misinterpretation of our policy toward Iran,” Brown said in a statement. “The leadership of the Iranian regime must know that their pursuit of nuclear weapons is unacceptable and will not be tolerated by the United States.”
