U.S. to block Iran sanctions at G8 summit (Way to good Obama-Don't forget to apologize also)
Haaretz ^ | July 4 2009 | Shlomo Shamir

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.

I wonder how the MSM will spin this? That is, if they mention it at all.

"He will imprison all dissenters like any dictator."

I'd better get started writing my obituary.

Obi-one, no matter what you do (other than to nuke Israel) they won’t love you. They won’t even love you. Get used to it.

Unbelievable. Really.

Shocking.

I suppose we should prepare for more shocking moves after another as 0 attempts to become dictator. I bet he’ll do it with a popular referendum like Chavez did and Zalaya tried.

I hope enough of us are prepared.

They assume most of the public is too stupid to even know what the G8 is, or that they are meeting, so the concept of the Traitor in Chief being against further Iranian sanctions is WAY over our head - therefore no need to mention it to the sheeple (I’m guessing).

That one will have to be by amendment approved by 3/4 of all states. If you declare your dissenters as terrorist, and lock them up, they cannot vote. He learned alot from Chavez? Huh

Let’s see: zer0 has caved to Russia on the defensive missile shield in europe and he is now blocking sanctions against the soon-to-be nuclear Iran. He had Hillary say nothing of substance to China, only pointless global warming whining.

Russia + China + nuclear iran = control of the mideast and Europe. Nuclear missiles and submarines from Iran/Russia to Cuba and Venezuela = containment of the United States. Nuclear missiles in N. Korea means nuclear missiles in anti-american terrorists’ hands.

All because hussein’s Amerika deliberately allowed it.

Have I got this right? Have I left anything out?

The Goofy looking big eared Kenyan still believes he can make a deal with a mad man.

Does that make them both crazy?
