What's next for the Obama Administration........Iran?
First we place sanctions, then we release more erroneous reports about weapons and babies in incubators, then we get to see the "nightvision shots"



http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100331/pl_afp/usfrancediplomacyirannuclear
WASHINGTON (AFP) – US President Barack Obama said he wanted tough new UN sanctions imposed on Iran within "weeks" as visiting French President Nicolas Sarkozy blasted Tehran's "mad" nuclear race.

But Obama admitted that key world powers had "not yet" closed wide gaps on the specifics of the biting new measures, as he and Sarkozy made an apparently coordinated effort to up pressure on China and Russia for action.

"My hope is that we are going to get this done this spring," Obama said, warning, as he faces rising domestic pressure on the issue, that he was not interested in waiting months for the new United Nations measures to be imposed.

"I am interested in seeing that regime in place within weeks," Obama said during a joint press conference with Sarkozy which saw both leaders go out of their way to profess US-French friendship.

1. It would be an insane act
but does that rule it out? Would an attack on Iran increase the Party's chances in November? Why the rush of "within weeks"? I could see an attack being launched for political reasons.

4. Yes, he will attack Iran because he knows they have WMD.
And because he knows the RepubliCONS want him to.

Next he will give amnesty to all torturers and murderers from the bush administration.

Then he will privatize Social Security benefits and increase the retirement age from 70 to 100 years old.

6. The (ill-fated) march towards Pax Americana continues unabated
despite the changey, truthy jingoism. :grr:

What we have here is a "kinder, gentler" 3rd Bush Term.

7. Wait til the Crusading Name-Callers besiege this thread! lol
Aside from Nader, McKinney, Twoofers and Chemtrails, there's nothing they have a bigger hard on for than anyone who sources articles that speculate on potential attacks on Iran. Look for them to be tag-teaming & high-fiving one another shortly ...
