Gee, what’s the rush? This has only been going on for years.

I did lose in the office pool, however. I was betting the Wall by our border would be built before we went after the Iranians.

Long overdue.

28 years too late.

This is a bunch of silly State Dept feel good crap and will have absolutely no effect on Iran’s military. These people are morons.

[roses of sharon]

Excellent move, Europe’s negotiations have obviously been impotent as usual.

[Victor]

Package of sanctions....that’ll fix ‘em. /s

[justaguy]

You gotta love this line,

marks the first time that the United States has tried to isolate or punish another country's military

Having last night watched Ken Burn's "The War", I'd say this is not the first time the United States has punished another country's military

"The measures could affect hundreds of foreign companies by squeezing them to drop Iranian business or risk U.S. sanctions."

This is gonna tic off a lot of people. LOL.

GO W!!

[ElectricStrawberry]

...weapons of mass destruction....

NOT AGAIN!!!!!!

Come on now George....give a better reason than this. How about just saying that they're supplying the enemy in Iraq or something equally not WMD related?

[Southack]

This move takes some brass ones by Bush, who I admire.

It should set the stage for a blockade of Iran and leave open the option of bombing Iran’s military.

Fact Sheet: Designation of Iranian Entities and Individuals for Proliferation Activities and Support for Terrorism

[MinuteGal]

Designations as "proliferators, "terrorists", blah, blah, bloohey..........

Sticks and stone will break their bones.....and toothless word games will never hurt them.

Debka suggests an interesting backstory. And it may actually be true this time.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping!

[Rutles4Ever]

Looking more and more like a Springtime conflagration. The U.S. just dropped the gauntlet on A-jad. Next move is his. He’s getting pushed into a corner and he knows it. Does he have the balls to attack Israel?

My guess is “no”. Look for more caustic commentary from Uncle Vladimir as this chugs along. We’re still picking teams, so I don’t think there will be any action until at least Spring.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Bureaucrats using sanctions as military targeting is not about military targeting, it’s about avoiding military targeting.

Grow a SPINE, folks! The defense of liberty has no dress rehearsal.

[theDentist]

How about a resolution that says any Iranian military or agents found in Iraq delivering weapons of any sort, ammo, etc, shall be taken into the desert and shot, and his body left for pigs to consume.

[RedCell]

Yawn.

>>>>>This is a bunch of silly State Dept feel good crap and will have absolutely no effect on Iran’s military. These people are morons.

You are so right. This is no more than cheap meaningless words that show the Islamofacists that were are Paper Tigers.

[Man50D]

These sanctions won’t be enough. It’s only a matter of time before we attack Iran.
