The United States is opposed to enacting a new set of financial sanctions against Iran that are due to be discussed in the G8 summit next week, diplomatic officials in New York reported Friday.
According to officials, sanctions against Iran are expected to top the G8's agenda. Sources are also predicting a pointed debate between the heads of the industrialized nations over an appropriate response to Iranian authorities' suppression of reformist demonstrations in Iran led by Mir Hossein Mousavi and other Iranian opposition leaders.

U.S. officials claimed that a tough stance toward Iran could backfire, bringing about an opposite outcome to that desired by those who support such measures.
The enemies within.
Barrak Hussein Obama helping his Islamic brothers.
If true, this is just another example of Obama’s softness as a leader.
Unbelievable. Why doesn’t Obama just give Iran the nukes?
BHO the anti-American president. If its good for demoracy its bad for The new USSA.
United Socialist States of Amerika.
This administration is completely bonkers.
Each new thing they say or do leaves me somewhere between being completely stunned and painfully unsuprised.
Obama is a treasonous piece of crap.
Continuing the pattern of sucking-up to barbarians.
Both John McCain and Hillary Clinton would have been very bad as Presidents, but I don’t think either of them have The Messiah’s deep, burning, visceral hatred of Western Civilization.
Most people are resigned to the fact that it’s happened. The next step maybe be very violent.
My thought, too....
We're getting the opposite outcome than desired right now. Why? Because Iran can't be persuaded out of building nuclear weapons. I'll say that again so the administration can take notes.
Iran. Can. Not. Be. Persuaded.
They only thing we can do now is make them suffer for it. If they want to live like North Korea, fine. Far better to have our enemies broke, isolated and impoverished. It limits their ability to make trouble.
What Obama doesn't get, is that trouble is what they care about. Not dialogue. Not money. Not friendship. They want to pursue their goals, and damn the consequences. All we can do is ensure that those consequences are awful enough to cripple them, and to deter others.
It hurts too much to laugh and I am too big to cry.
Watching this train wreck of an Administration is just too much.Each day it gets more unreal.
Exactly. How can you have a dialogue with a group of leaders who believe they must hasten the return of the Mahdi with chaos and destruction? They remind me of a quote from the original Terminator.
It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

Not much sense for us to comment as we all know the Obama gang of thugs is clearly on the Iranian guv side of things.
But may be useful to pass on th his Nazi supporters(every single registered Democrat in the country)
The idiot is systematically destroying our network of long standing allies to snuggle up to thugs.
I nominate that for Post of the Year.
Seriously. You nailed it 100% on all cylinders.
