BULLETIN:  HILLARY GOES CAUTIOUS LEFT, SUPPORTS KEY PARTS OF IRAN DEAL – AT 10:42 A.M. ET:  I'm really not shocked.  Clinton is basically kowtowing to the left wing of the Democratic Party, and that requires at least lip service to Obama's sink-America foreign policy.  Of course, she helped put that policy into place.  From the Washington Examiner:

Hillary Clinton supports the "core elements" of the Iran nuclear deal, according to a House Democrat who listened to her talk privately to the Democratic caucus Tuesday morning.

Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., said Clinton told Democrats that she will meet with former officials to discuss the agreement before pledging her full support.

"She did say the core elements of the deal are worth supporting," Israel said after leaving the meeting early. "However, she's having conversations with former secretaries of State and Defense and she believes we have an obligation to review all of the details of the deal."

Israel said Clinton criticized former President George W. Bush's handling of Iran and said under his leadership the Islamic nation increased its nuclear program.

"She reminded the caucus that for eight years under George Bush, the Iranians built two nuclear facilities and they mastered the nuclear fuel cycle and enhanced the number of centrifuges spinning," Israel said. "And for those Republicans critical of current policies toward Iran, it may be hypocritical and not accurate."

COMMENT:  So let me figure this out.  She supports the core elements, but will tell us later whether she supports the deal.  And she's more hawkish than the GOP on Iran's nuclear program, even though she went along with Obama's appeasement of Iran while secretary of state.

Yeah, right.  Hillary at her best.  She'll go whichever way the wind will eventually blow.
