The New York Times has an informative and depressing piece this morning: U.S. Enriches Companies Defying Its Policy on Iran. Not that it matters. Last week we learned that Russia and China just about torpedoed any serious sanctioning of Iran anyway. Meanwhile, France’s Sarkozy – the most militant of world leaders regarding Iran – is in electoral trouble. No wonder crazy A-jad continues with his wild bellicose statements: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday called the September 11 attacks on the United States a “big fabrication” that was used to justify the U.S. war on terrorism, the official IRNA news agency reported.
Glad it was official. But what do we do? In his column the other day, David Ignatius provided a cynical, but alas accurate, quote from retired US diplomat Douglas Paal: “Sanctions always accomplish their principal objective, which is to make those who impose them feel good.” Okay, then?What next? Nobody wants war and nobody wants a nuclear Iran. Maybe the Administration should start priming the space program again. We’re outta here.
Don’t be surprised if Obama is undermining Sarkozy’s reelection, similar to Clinton’s sabotage of Netanyahu in ’99.
Anybody out there think Barry is smart enough to figure out that Ahmadinejad is giving him the finger. Repeatedly
We need Republicans in Congress to show their support for the opposition in Iran. It is shameful that the Obama administration did not stand up for freedom and democracy when the Mullahs stole the recent election.
The most depressing news is that Obama is canceling the deep penetrating small nukes that can take out Iran’s nuclear program. Obama is not of this world.
@ 4. Mike_K: Obama nixes nuking nukes
Closest thing to a rational move by The Won.
There is more than one way to skin a rat;
Going nuclear is last on the list.
Google “Rods From God”.
The world is just waiting now for Israel to take out Iran’s nuke facilities. They are the only western country that still has the guts to act in their national interest.
