Obama, Sarkozy & Iran

The new "revelations" about Iran's nuclear program gave the world a chance to see President Obama in action in the realm of foreign affairs. Apparently Sarkozy was not impressed.
From the Wall Street Journal:

President Sarkozy ... had been "frustrated" for months about Mr. Obama's reluctance to confront Iran, a senior French government official told us, and saw an opportunity to change momentum. But the Administration told the French that it didn't want to "spoil the image of success" for Mr. Obama's debut at the U.N. and his homily calling for a world without nuclear weapons, according to the Paris daily Le Monde. So the Iran bombshell was pushed back a day to Pittsburgh, where the G-20 were meeting to discuss economic policy...

"We are right to talk about the future," Mr. Sarkozy said, referring to the U.S. resolution on strengthening arms control treaties. "But the present comes before the future, and the present includes two major nuclear crises," i.e., Iran and North Korea. "We live in the real world, not in a virtual one." No prize for guessing into which world the Frenchman puts Mr. Obama.

Was that the President of France being more forceful than the President of the United States? I think somewhere pigs are flying.
