Obama blocking more sanctions on Iran ?

Barack Obama said that he didn’t want to “meddle” in the Iranian crisis, but now it looks like he’s finally taking sides. Unfortunately, it’s the wrong side. Haaretz reports that Obama has attempted to block an expansion of sanctions on the Iranian mullahs among the G-8 nations (via Yid with Lid):

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.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi hinted in a newspaper interview earlier in the week that the G8 is due to decide on new financial sanctions against the Islamic Republic. Berlusconi disclosed that he had spoken with the heads of the G8 nations and has discussed such steps with them.

According to the Italian prime minister, “the general leaning [among G8 leaders] is toward sanctions.”

However, diplomatic sources in New York reported that American officials are working behind the scenes to prevent new sanctions from being imposed against Iran.

Obama is simply a traitor. The Commander of US forces in Iraq says that Iran is still supplying Jihadist militants there. The Commander of US forces in Afghanistan says that Iran is supplying the Taliban with heavy weapons. US troops are engaged in combat with both foes.

On top of all this, Iran has shown its shariah-driven total disregard for human rights in the wake of the sham “election” and they continue to enrich uranium in violation of UNSC resolutions and international treaties which they are a party to...

There is NOT one evil dictator Obama has not liked, apologized to or bowed to. How can 62 million fellow citizens have voted for this enabler of evil? Disgusting. Appalling.
