A Heads-Up on Obama's First Steps?
Tuesday, December 9, 2008 at 12:16
I've picked up a bit of information about the immediate measures of an Obama Administration.
As the media is anticipating, there will be the announcement of the closure of Camp X-Ray at Guantanamo Bay. Then, in a more surprising step, Obama will make a move for better relations with Cuba.
Less heartening is the evaluation that "engagement" with states like Iran may come "in the second year" of the Obama Administration. My fear is that even this cautious timetable will slip or be set aside.
