The looming UN Security Council vote on new sanctions against Iran will implement the “most significant sanctions” ever, according to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
According to Chinese officials, however, the only reason they are supporting the sanctions at all is because they were convinced they would have no effect on Iran’s economy.
The Obama Administration has been seeking the sanctions since January, initially to punish Iran for refusing to agree to a third party enrichment deal but now, since Iran has agreed to the third party enrichment deal, for other, vaguer reasons.
Iran has cautioned that it will withdraw from any future nuclear talks in retaliation if the sanctions are passed, noting that after the US angrily rejected the long-demanded enrichment deal that there was little point in continuing to negotiate anyhow.
Wait a minute here. Israel kills a few yanks, beats up a few more while detained during the Gaza blockade and Hillary wants sanctions against Iran. Something wrong with this picture. Terribly wrong.
We need to sanction, boycott and isolate israel. Two choises here: let Iran blow israel off the face of the earth or perhaps Hellen Thomas was right: Ship the parasitic zionist to Henderson Island in the south Pacific where they will remain in isolation forever. And Henderson Island has about the same land mass at that militarized ghetto called israel anyway.
Are these sanctions just some form of a face saving device for Clinton? UN SC is mulling over the request by Turkey and Brazil to have public debate on the Teheran Agreement. Eventually, what will have to come to the table the REAL reasons for Iran sanctions, as now nobody really knows what is it that is expected of Iran anyway. The deal that was cut before, now is being referred to as only "confidence building measure". It this is the case, what is the final deal — if such a thing even exists.
I think the sanctions that Clinton is applauding are probably watered down to the extent that they will have little to no effect on Iran. They are for domestic consumption so it doesn't look like she is being embarrassed by the SC. Iran has developed ways to counter and China knows this or they would not go along, or at least abstain from voting.
Better yet.. one could ask what is it that US and EU really want from Iran…, or for that matter from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan beside demanding that US and EU is going to be the manipulator and by that the dominator in the region… if that is what US and EU want then the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and for that matter in Pakistan never going to end and peace in middle east never going to happen…, then again.., US and EU demands are about their domination of middle east and its natural resources otherwise democracy in Iran and elsewhere in Middle East would have been prevailed long time ago.
It really must smart that Brazil and Turkey exposed the sham policy Clinton and her Zionist constituency were pursuing with Iran! Now that Lula and Erdogan were able to negotiate a breakthough agreement through diplomacy, the fodder is lost from Clinton's bellicose verbiage. If the US were to look for rogue nations to sanction, it needs to take off its AIPAC blinders and look at Israel. Now, that's a cool candidate for international ostracism – on every single count. Wasn't Clinton supposed to represent US interest – as defined by the American people; or was it as defined by AIPAC, or Tel Aviv…? Why on earth would Iran be subject to sanctions. It has done nothing wrong. Try Israel: it's done nothing right.
As a matter of fact,s if the american establishment was not biast against Muslims these sanctions should be imposed on Israel as they defy all the rules and regulations of UN and after killing innocent peace convoy is clear that they are liable for sanctions. Every TV: channel in Pakistan is crying for the attrocities committed by Israel by peace activist,s. After Ireak Afghanistan and now Iran is on the hit list of Israel and doubtedly US will obey their bosses in Israel and lobby in US.
I love americans but can,t indorse anti Islam politiks in US
Passing the sanctions now has the added benefit of taking the massacre of the freedom flotilla by the Israelis out of the news.
Clinton shared her dissatifaction and in a way she cautioned AIPAC 2010 that in the age of the internt , world public opinion no longer could be manipulated as was done in the past.She basically told the gatherig that the public and foreign leaders were aware of what was happening more than the Israeli firster wanted them to know.
In this situation , bullying and persuasion both aare becoming difficult and costly.

In 2007 Wesley Clarke confirmed what was known to every discerning mind that the "New Yoyk" money of the Jewish people was behind the calculated offensive by S against Iran .
“Retired General Wesley Clark is, like me, concerned that the Bush administration is going to launch a war with Iran. Arianna Huffington spoke to him in early January and asked why he was so worried the administration was headed in this direction. According to Huffington’s January 4 recounting of Clark’s thoughts, he said this: “You just have to read what’s in the Israeli press. The Jewish community is divided but there is so much pressure being channeled from the New York money people to the office seekers.” Am Prospect

Wesley Clarke pointed to the right direction in 2007 by locating the "New York money" influencing the armageddon against Iran. Clinton even tried to educate AIPAC that the given the availabilty of the information on the internet and print-free media how hard it was now to make the world swallow Israeli line on rest of the world. So she did what she could to the best of her ability.
Clinton's primary objective in pushing sanctions against Iran is to guarantee she'll be receiving millions of shekels in campaign donations when she next runs for president. Nothing more. Nothing less.
