Obama Attempts To Delay Iranian Sanctions Bi
Jewish Policy Center ^ | 10/15/09 | Jonathan Schanzer

Legislators are growing increasingly frustrated with President Barack Obama's seeming unwillingness to pull the trigger on an Iran sanctions package that is already locked and loaded. The American public should be frustrated, too.

The Iran Refined Petroleum Sanctions Act (IRPSA), if enacted, would put the squeeze on foreign oil companies that currently help the Mullahs refine petroleum, as well as the insurance companies that underwrite this trade. If the sanctions work, they could stem the flow of 30 to 40 percent of Iranian oil, since the Mullahs don't actually have sufficient refining capacity to meet their domestic needs. In short, IRPSA could deal a fiscal body blow to Iran and destabilize the regime, as a means to derail its nuclear ambitions.

Impotent In Chief doesn’t want to endanger his peace prize by following through on aggressive policies that may push unstable, tyrannical regimes into desperate, violent measures.

He’s a closet muslim, WTH do we expect? He WANTS Iran to nuke Israel. He wants Israel to nuke a lot of Iran. He thinks all that will solve the problem over there. It gets oil and gas to outrageous prices the average person can’t afford, kills our economy, and gets a lot of people screaming for government to step in and help them.

Then he gets to ride in and try to save the day being either a peacemaker or a defender.

Obama is just helping his Ayatollah friends.

The French have a tougher foreign policy than we do. This is an embarrassment!

The zero is determined not to do ANYTHING that might make even one Muslim angry.

The delay only confirms my suspicions that Barry and company have simply taken Iran as a nuclear fact.

The Nobel Peace Prize committee thinks indecision is good. It means he’s thoughtful.

I don’t get it. I thought that BHO was, if anything, a Sunni.
