Obama Buckles
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010In an abrupt about face, the Obama Administration has backed off sanctions for Iran.
Hillary Clinton told reporters that the US was no longer fast-tracking any sanctions whatsoever for Iran’s pursuit of nuclear materials.
“We are moving expeditiously and thoroughly in the Security Council, I can’t give you an exact date, but I would assume some time in the next several months,” she said.
It is a deliberate slap in the face to Israel. The US has been promising sanctions on the deepest level of commitment.
Israelis are not taking it lightly. Jerusalem Post comments run from ‘let’s bomb Iran now’ to ‘let’s bomb Iran now.’ Not much of a spread.
Is that the Obama Administration’s plan? To have Israel start a war? Looks like it.
The only other player that could make a difference is the US Congress. There is legislation pending that would force unilateral US sanctions on Iran. Does Obama just want to be forced, so he can throw up his hands and say ‘they made me do it’? How do you feel about that?
Surely, the Iranians now will NEVER back down. They have made the greatest military nation on earth kowtow to their ambitions.
