Obama blocking more sanctions on Iran?

Barack Obama said that he didn’t want to “meddle” in the Iranian crisis, but now it looks like he’s finally taking sides. Unfortunately, it’s the wrong side. Haaretz reports that Obama has attempted to block an expansion of sanctions on the Iranian mullahs among the G-8 nations (via Yid with Lid):
The United States is opposed to enacting a new set of financial sanctions against Iran that are due to be discussed in the G8 summit next week, diplomatic officials in New York reported Friday.
According to officials, sanctions against Iran are expected to top the G8’s agenda. Sources are also predicting a pointed debate between the heads of the industrialized nations over an appropriate response to Iranian authorities’ suppression of reformist demonstrations in Iran led by Mir Hossein Mousavi and other Iranian opposition leaders.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi hinted in a newspaper interview earlier in the week that the G8 is due to decide on new financial sanctions against the Islamic Republic. Berlusconi disclosed that he had spoken with the heads of the G8 nations and has discussed such steps with them.
According to the Italian prime minister, “the general leaning [among G8 leaders] is toward sanctions.”
However, diplomatic sources in New York reported that American officials are working behind the scenes to prevent new sanctions from being imposed against Iran.
Why? Why would the Obama administration oppose using sanctions as a diplomatic and economic device to put pressure on the Iranian mullahs to reform? They are telling other G-8 diplomats that they feel the sanctions will “backfire”, driving Iran away from the negotiating table, where Obama thinks we can talk Iran out of their nuclear weapons.
In other words, the fantasy continues. While the rest of the world wants to get tough on Iran, creating more internal pressure on the mullahs by increasing their isolation, Obama wants to allow them to suffer no consequences at all for their oppression and to strip the opposition of a legitimate issue — that the mullahs have made Iran a pariah nation. Why? Because Obama thinks that he can reason with the non-rational actors in Tehran, who want nuclear weapons for both regional hegemony and the power to wipe Israel off the map, a goal that their mouthpiece has repeatedly and publicly stated as a national interest of the mullahcracy.
At least the administration has realized that direct talks are now dead, according to the Haaretz report. Too bad Obama doesn’t understand that the problem in Iran isn’t the nukes, but the radical Islamist tyrants with their hands on the button.

Obama is dangerous because he believes that the Mullahs are as pliable as 52% of the American voting public.

This comes as no surprise now. Between the two most recent examples with Iran and Honduras, there can no longer be any doubt about this man’s true ideology. The importance of the relationships built by the Obama’s, with the likes of Rev Wright, Ayers, Rezko, and others are suddenly becoming more apparent to more Americans, as recent polls indicate.
If the polls remained favorable to Obama, then I would have no hope for our future. The fact that Obama-Pelosi-Reid are sinking in the polls is very telling, and gives me hope.

A rare moment in world history when a plurality of influential nations is on board with tougher sanctions on Iran, and Obama gets weak-kneed? What a disgrace, both to the Iranian reformers and protestors, and to everything our nation holds dear, which we are poised to celebrate this holiday weekend.

He has all kinds of brilliant communist, muslim, radical left advisors that are charting the course. He is fully on board with where they are taking us but he is hardly steering the ship. People need to realize that there is a goal and it is one that most of America will not like and frankly does not want.
We need to wake up and quit enabling him.
America1st on July 3, 2009 at 12:41 PM
One reason Obumbler doesn’t want sanctions right now is his upcoming trip to Russia. Russia does not support additional sanctions and Obumbler is afraid of upsetting them before his visit. Maybe he will try to cut a deal … “we won’t deploy the missile shield in Europe if you support us on Iran”.
But if Obumbler continues to resist sanctions AFTER the Russian summit, then he goes back to being the plain old moron as he has shown himself to be so far.

Obama has to prove that he, and he alone, is the only one who knows the real solutions to these problems. That is what sets him apart as the-one-everybody-was-waiting-for. This is the feed for pure, unadulterated narcissism.
If the G-8 nations had suggested that further sanctions not be applied Obama would have gone the opposite way and demanded sanctions. Obama must take the opposite tack or he chances becoming just one-of-them instead of THE ONE.

Has despotism taken the place of liberty in America? Even while wearing its garb? It must be some consolation to the Obama throng; that the ‘masters’ are from among themselves and not of an ancient, privileged and long detested caste. And then, if it is a despotism-it is a glorious homegrown one, which to Democrats is a great deal—authored by hip, cool, charming despots with toned arms and gleaming pecs wearing the guise of the old Democratic party. And what if it gives the American people decades of tyranny, economic stagnation, desolation, infighting, insolvency and heavy chains at home? For it gives them (they think) enumerable brash powers, short-term financial windfalls and (vain) glory abroad. All in all, the ‘masters’ covet brut power, and all that it brings with it. (G_d) Damn America, its long traditions, its special place in the pantheon of world history, its long suffering sacrifices of blood and treasure for the sake of freedom and individual liberty. And damn the white haired Imperialist ‘Crackers’ who conceived the racist diatribes and half-baked theories that are solidified and written down in that tattered archaic rag, the Constitution.
Still more, if Obama and his ilk are a new American despotism, it is of their own making. The movement combines the lapdog, ass-kissing complicity of the omnipotent news media and the various strains of a Colonial African mindset and pseudo-Christian Black Nationalist Theology, the Nation of Islam, ‘Rules for Radicals’ by Saul David Alinsky, the consensus of several national labor unions, a federally funded COI formerly known as ACORN and the remnants of the Students for a Democratic Society steeped in Marxist and Maoist theory and divisional race/gender politics, closeted misplaced ‘white’ guilt, all rolled up into an arrogant steely-eyed goose-stepping jackboot juggernaut of new-found pride and action.
And we all know that men will submit with much more contentment and better grace to yokes and chains of which they themselves are the authors, than to those which other nations impose on them.

Why can’t at least one of you idiots come out and sing “Give Peace A Chance” or something. Seriously someone needs to defend this man’s actions.

Bulldogger on July 3, 2009 at 12:57 PM
Rush just stated that people need to start questioning Obama and the rest of our political establishment as to exactly why they are purposely putting road blocks in place to undermine the recovery of our economical systems, purposely destroying the American economy, purposely harming it’s people. Rush just stated that Obama and his administration know exactly what they are doing, this is not the acts of a rookie or empty suit stuff, these acts are carefully calculated and are getting played out with an entire cast that includes organizations that we (the people) once replied upon to protect us.
In other words, it’s up to us; we can’t rely upon the media or any other component… It’s up to us.
This is exactly why these town hall meetings are staged to make it appear that Obama is answering us, when he’s really just acting out a script.

It DOES make sense. All you’ve got to do is stop living in the fantasyland that Obama “means well but is just stupid.”
He’s not stupid, and he doesn’t mean well. He knows exactly what he’s doing. Until you grasp that, you’ll continue to scratch your head and claim that nothing makes sense.

Yeah well that number is not going to hold. The economy for one thing is not sitting well with any voting block other than the 40% on the government dole.
And I do not mean this in a bad way to any of the Jews that live in the U.S., but this is about our ally Israel. This is about Israeli Jews who only approve of Obama at somewhere around 3%. This is about THEIR lives, and what happens to Israel the nation. American Jews can have their own take on this, but I for one am more concerned about the safety, and welfare of the Jews who have been threatened by Mahmoud and the mad, mad mullahs. American Jews for now are safe. For now.
Please no offense at all to anyone who is an American Jew. I hope you understand my concern for Israel.

If the house and senate ever woke up I think we’d be looking at the next impeachment hearings, but that’ll probably never happen. Instead things are going to deteriorate to the point where we’re at war with ourselves.
At least it won’t be likely that the liberals will survive, that’ll be the only good point of it all.

And the hundreds of thousands or millions of protestors in Iran a couple of weeks ago were what, Martians? Get real.
I am beginning to think, though, that he is ought to alter the course of the last 6 centuries of history, which saw Europe and England and the UK’s former Anglo colonies achieve ascendency in the world.
And I’m wondering if his real intent is to let Iran get nukes so that he can use that as a stick to try to get Israel to abandon hers. But I need to think more about that. For someone who has said that he wants to see an end to nuclear weapons, though, he doesn’t seem to be to charged about Iran’s nuclear program.

So, how willing does anyone think Israel is going to be in sharing intelligence info coming out of Africa? That entire continent is one cabal of terroristic thugs, and a melting pot of doom for the world. There was a time when the Russians, Chinese, and Israeli intelligence, (we were there but not so much as these guys), warred enough back and forth so that the world stayed fairly safe. But times are different, and I greatly fear what is going to come down the pike from this region. We need Israeli’s intelligence to help protect this country. I would not count on it now.

What’s your point? That the Iranian citizens don’t like their government? That they are less radical then the Mullahs? Or, are you suggesting that they love Jews and would gladly be loving neighbors with Christians and Jews if given the chance?
The first two are obviously true, but those points have absolutely nothing to do with my statement. The third point, if you believe it, is lunacy.
The reality is, that true Islam does not allow honest peace with Israel. A Muslim who loves Jews or Christians, is basically making up their own religion.
Obama is a true Muslim. If you want to deny that, then you’re going to find yourself constantly scratching your head and claiming that “nothing makes sense.” As soon as you accept that as being the reality, then you’ll suddenly find everything magically making sense.

If 40% will elect the socialists because they are on the dole, the Democrats need only 11% of the other 60% to stay in power. You’ve inadvertently hit on the Democrats’ Master Plan.

Yep.
Our next election could very well end up not being any more honest than the one in Iran.
Obama’s coddling of the Mullahcracy on that and his harsh rhetoric towards Honduras, which just ejected a socialist “president” who wanted to illegally grab power for life, in that he’s supporting the wannabe dictator are very telling.
He doesn’t want to be inconsistent when he does the same things himself, ie: rigs his own re-election, and then runs for a 3rd term.
There simply isn’t any other explanation. The law hasn’t stopped him yet from doing dozens of illegal things, such as taking over the auto industry, dispossessing secured bond holders and giving their property to the unions…
