Edwards and Obama Accuse Clinton of â??Flip-Flopâ??

Barack Obama and John Edwards have been pounding Hillary Rodham Clintonâ??s judgment on Iraq for months: Namely, that she made the wrong call in 2002 by voting to authorize the war, and that she has compounded the error by refusing to apologize for that vote (as Mr. Edwards did).
Lately the two men have pivoted to Iran, asserting Mrs. Clintonâ??s judgment in 2002 should still be a concern to voters, given her recent Senate vote to brand the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization. Some Democrats have argued that the vote could embolden President Bush to take military action against Iranâ??s nuclear program.
The Obama campaign is calling attention to Mrs. Clintonâ??s latest comment in Iran, made in New Hampshire yesterday. According to the Associated Press, Mrs. Clinton was asked by a voter about Iran, and that she said twice that she would negotiate with Iran â??with no conditions.â?�
â??I would engage in negotiations with Iran, with no conditions, because we donâ??t really understand how Iran works. We think we do, from the outside, but I think that is misleading,â?� Mrs. Clinton said.

On the one hand, this isnâ??t much different from what Iâ??ve heard Mrs. Clinton say on the campaign trail for months: She has called for aggressive new diplomacy where Iran is concerned, including direct talks between Washington and Tehran, as well as fresh thinking about how to deal with that nationâ??s nuclear program.
Yet Mrs. Clinton has also drawn an interesting line in the sand: At a Democratic presidential debate in July, Mrs. Clinton said she would not be willing to meet with the president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, without conditions during her first year as president.
Mr. Obama, on the other hand, said he would be willing to hold such a meeting â?? a comment that drew a rare shot from Mrs. Clinton herself, who said Mr. Obama was â??naïve and irresponsibleâ?� for being open to a presidential-level meeting.
So: Mrs. Clinton is ruling out meeting early with President Ahmadinejad without conditions, but she is in favor of negotiating early with Iran without conditions. Is there a difference between those two positions? Is this another example of Clintonian nuance?
