“impose sanctions”
Hahaha,...apparently, according to todays news, we have been giving waivers to sanctions on Iran for a decade. Same country that is helping taliban kill u.s. soldiers in Afghanistan.

Quick! Let him go!
We don’t want to anger the Kenyan.
This is the last straw!
It’s time Obama wrote a stern letter!
1. Inject him with smallpox.
2. Return him to Iran.
I think Ebola would be more suitable a choice.
