Never mind that the administration says it doesn’t want them right now and that they will complicate its diplomatic efforts; lawmakers always think that they know best and that the public always rewards bellicosity. So, it’s new sanctions on Iran, full speed ahead.
Idiots.
This is the can of crazy the White House purposely opened.
Typical White House spinning though. They’re trying to appeal to all sides–pretending they are such awesome diplomats while they purposely spread propaganda about Iran. The 11th dimensional chess player would probably argue Obama was opening a can of crazy to better negotiate (and isn’t that better than Bush?) and that he will be able to use the crazy to his advantage.
But let’s not forget the danger Obama is flirting with here. His popaganda may be for benevolent reasons (if one is a naive sucker that always assumes Obama acts for pure purposes), but Obama wagged his finger at the Iranians and accused them of pursuing a bomb while the media barely reports that El Baradi said, no, there is no proof of that, and the CIA yet again has to meekly assert that they still do not believe the Iranians are pursuing a bomb.
And now Obama is surprised that riling up the American war machine leads to bellicose belligerence and more war?
Crocodile tears.
ok- i see- obama riles up the war machine. wtf! the man said that he believes in negotiattion. he gets iran to state that they are willing to move.now, i don’t know whether they are being honest. however, we are looking at no more that a couple or three weeks. i guess that tht is riling up the machine. bullshit. it riles up the war profiteers. thats who is riled up. they are looking at a potential loss of big bucks. they could give a shit if 8 soldiers buy the farm. they could give a shit if 200 plus troops have bought it this year so long as their profits stay where they should be.
riled up? give me a break. these assholes are covering their asses and they could give a shit about the potential for peace.
Lawmakers and other politicians are out bursting with different ideas. The U.S. economy has been experiencing the worst financial depression. In the second half quarter of 2008, financial pressures intensified and triggering massive financial instability and global financial markets. In the United States, unemployment rate surged, with GDP declining by 6.25 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008 and a further 5.5 percent in the first quarter of 2009. Negative territory had been an effect of inflation sank. Production and international trade had slowdown, with pronounced contractions in manufacturing exporters. Measures of financial stress, especially credit spreads, increased quick cash, while Treasury yields fell and the dollar strengthened amid safe-haven flows. Despite the growth of dollar, the U.S. current account deficit receded on the back of weak domestic demand and lower oil prices.
