“but for the first time to combine such a move with an intense diplomatic effort to persuade Russia and China not to block the initiative.”
Bwhahahahaha!

Ah the dreaded “sanctions”! Ever wonder why underground arms dealers never smuggle the feared “sanctions” into the guerrilla wars they arm and the soldiers they equip?

"...US-led diplomatic push to get tough new UN sanctions imposed against the Zimbabwe regime..." ROTFLMAO!!! UN sancations have always been a big hit with dictators, thugs and murderers. A couple dictators have laughed so hard at the UN that they almost wet their pants.

This is one of those ‘world freedom initiatives’ to which obama will be credited. He, and the MSM, just want to put his name on it. Zimbabwe will collapse shortly on its own IMO. It’s an easy PR act to praise the ‘messiah’ with for years to come.

He should topple himself. Both are african born leaders that printed trillions of dollars ruining their respective socialist countries.

What do you bet that this same man (Obama) that is always bitching about Bush getting us into a mess in the Middle East turns around and gets us totally bogged down in Africa. I can see it coming. Watch the Bush hating media totally back this A hoe.

Everyone is criticizing Obama in this thread, but do they think sanctions against Zimbabwe are a bad idea? I don’t want to send U.S. troops there, but if sanctions can topple Mugabe, I favor them.

Everyone is criticizing Obama in this thread, but do they think sanctions against Zimbabwe are a bad idea? What do you think they'll accomplish? The place is a total basket case. There isn't much of an economy left. The only thing you can hit would be charitable donations -- and most of those get stolen by the ruling clique. What is the threat that sanctions pose?
To: Free ThinkerNY
Just damn!!! First Rush....and now Mugabe!! /s

When have sanctions worked? Against Sadaam we had sanctions and a no-fly zone and we still had to go in a topple him.

Sure, UN sanctions are great. Afterall, the UN has never violated any of their own sanctions before, have they?
