Looks Like We Are Going To War With Yet Another Country; Nuke Talks Are At Impass

Well, here is another surprise! Iran continues to make it's nuclear bombs. Seems they have pissed us off again!

The Iranian leader vowed to forge ahead with uranium enrichment, even as a deadline of the end of this month, even though Obama wants to continue talks about dissuading President AhmadinejadPresident Ahmadinejad.

His(President Ahmadinejad) remarks came only days after the Iranian parliament approved all but three of his Cabinet choices, sparing him a bruising confirmation battle after his disputed election victory.

We should be interested more in what Iran has up its sleeve than what President Obama will speak about tomorrow to school children! This is going to make a huge impact on the war on terrorism.

Since China and Russia don't want to stand up against Iran, it looks like US is all by themselves in the war against nuclear arms.

Venezuela announced a deal yesterday to supply Iran with 20,000 barrels of petrol a day, underlining the difficulty of isolating Tehran without broad international consensus.(1)

Iran may be the fifth largest oil producer, but they only have a refinement capacity of 60% of their needs (2)

Israel has threatened military action to stop Iran from becoming the second nuclear power in the Middle East. Israel maintains its own covert nuclear deterrent.

We, as the Western Diplomats, struggled to have stronger sanctions on Iran yesterday.Again, we were the laughing stock of the world.

One plan, currently before the US Congress, is to ban exports of refined petroleum products and tighten control over Iran’s activities in the financial and insurance markets. A ban on petrol would hit Iran since it imports about 40 per cent of its needs. Petrol shortages have, in the past, led to domestic protests.(3)

Shockingly, China is helping Iran to domesticate and refine their oil by 2012. Obviously they are not on the same side we are! Their assistance will make oil MORE expensive than it already is!

Fortunately, France and Germany lobbied for harsher sanctions. They believe if we don't punish Iran, Israel will seek an air strike.I agree.

When will our president wake up and realize there are worse fears out there to tackle? When are we going to realize the war on terror isn't over?We have lost,it seems, and we need to do something to protect ourselves!
