The fierce urgency of then, ala New York Times (2004):
What is critical is for the winner of the presidential race, and for the three European nations, to make it urgently and abundantly clear to Iran’s president, Mohammad Khatami, and his mullahs that the West will brook no further delays, and that it is serious and united about imposing stern sanctions if Iran won’t abandon its nuclear fuel enrichment efforts. Iran has already broken one deal with the Europeans, and it has drawn sharp criticism from the International Atomic Energy Agency.
If the ruling mullahs continue to sense indecision and disunity in the West, they will surely continue with their program. The result would be a disaster. Joschka Fischer, Germany’s foreign minister and a strong proponent of diplomacy, warned earlier this week that a nuclear Iran could set off a Middle Eastern arms race. And North Korea would see no reason to abandon its weapons.

Now I grant that had “French” Kerry karried the day in 2004, the Slimes might have changed her tune sooner. Yet as it is, the Slimes is giving the clear impression that she holding the Obama Regime to a far lower standard, than she did for Dubya. As the Slimes can not bear to see a black president fail, she has to redefine success downward, over and over again.
