Why Obama revealed the secret Iran site only in Pittsburgh.

It now turns out that Obama has known about the second, secret nuclear site built UNDERGROUND near Qom since before his inauguration. He did not reveal it because he feared it would compromise his determination to engage in dialogue with the Iranians since there would doubtless be no doubt left about Iran's intentions and most would resist the diplomatic path. Thus, Obama got agreement about a generic world effort to eliminate all nuclear weapons at the UN without specific reference to Iran or North Korea ( but, presumably, --and explicitly according to Susan Rice-- including Israel.) He revealed the evidence for the site because the Iranians, having got wind of the knowledge of Western intelligence rushed to announce the site to the IAEA this week, thus claiming that it was "legal." Even so, comparing the statements of the UK's Brown and France's Sarkozy with Obama's, the latter's was by far the weakest.
