Clinton warns of likely Iranian 'stunt' ahead of UN sanctions vote (right she is)

WASHINGTON (AFP) - US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Sunday she expects Iran will "pull some stunt in the next couple of days" as a UN vote on tough sanctions against Tehran over its nuclear program looms.

Asked what she expects in the runup to a UN Security Council vote on sanctions on Tehran over its controversial nuclear program, Clinton said "I expect Iran to pull some stunt in the next couple of days."

Iran has in the past taken steps to "avoid being held accountable," Clinton told reporters as she waited to depart on a Latin American trip.

"I don't think anybody should be surprised if they (Iran) try to divert attention once again from the unity within the Security Council," the top US diplomat said.

"I think we'll see Iran say ...'wait a minute, wait a minute look at what we're going to do' in a bid to thwart sanctions," Clinton added. "They've consistently tried to avoid being held accountable."

They'll probably lie about ducking sniper fire in an event that never happened...

Didn't Iran already announce that they would send ships to the Mediterranean to "protect" flotillas against Israeli attacks?

Hillary is great about predicting things we already know about.

She said this before the news of the ships from Iran. I say sink first, ask questions later.

Clinton added. “They’ve consistently tried to avoid being held accountable.”
And no one should doubt Hillary’s expertise in analyzing the subject.


Yea Hitlery, you are the all time “Enabler”. BJ knows.
