Due to this kind of economic pressure applied to Iran by this withdraw of the French from the consortium, I think for the fate of not only the current president of Iran but of the entire governing apparatus, can be measured in weeks. Iran cannot create the jobs it needs, it cannot sell much of the black gold it is pumping out of the ground, and its deals with Hezbollah, Syria Hamas and who know what other radical chic, has drained its treasury. The economic and technical isolation, bolstered by the knowledge that Israel can eliminate its nuclear programs, added to the understanding that the Iranian Shi’ah are not interested in the stuff Iran is proffering, ought to be a very sobering set of circumstances for the Socialist Mullahs.

Mr. Obama’s inebriated path would leave the Mullahs giddy with new found power and could reignite sectarian, and regional violence. However, so long as an internationally wielded noose is steadily tightened, there will be no resurrecting the Iranian economy nor the restraining the Iranian people.

Yup, thank you Mr. President.
