Video: Vice President Biden Says "Wait and See" on Election But Will Talk with Iran

Talking to the political talk show Meet the Press this morning, Vice President Joe Biden maintained a cautious "wait and see" attitude on the Iran elections, uttering the general "we're doing everything in our power" to gather information and review the outcome. This, however, was the key statement on US-Iranian relations, whether or not Ahmadinejad remains in power: "Talks with Iran are not a reward for good behavior; they're only a consequence if the President makes the judgement that it's in the best interests of the United States of America.... to talk to the Iranian regime. Our interests are the same before the election as after the election." (See Chris Emery's analysis in a separate post.)
