US to Iran: “I’m Warning You, if You Don’t Behave, I’ll Warn You, Again!”

Round and round we go with Carter II’s foreign policy:
Frustrated by Iran’s continued defiance of demands to come clean on its nuclear program, the Obama administration is leaning toward imposing new sanctions, even if it must act alone.
Administration officials acknowledged growing concern that there may not be international consensus to expand the existing U.N. sanctions, despite Tehran’s apparent rejection of a confidence-building measure proposed by the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog in hopes of making progress on the nuclear issue.
To that end, the administration is quietly supporting legislation in Congress that would give President Barack Obama a broad new array of authority to target Iran’s energy sector by penalizing foreign firms that sell and ship refined petroleum products to Iran. The regime is heavily dependent on gasoline, kerosene and propane imports.
Uh, Barry, old buddy – you don’t need to dither around waiting for Congress…you can just tell the Iranians that if they don’t cave by, say, November 10th, we’ll send the US Navy to intercept all gasoline tankers headed towards Iran. Trust me on this one: Iran will at least sit down for some serious discussions.
Now, to be sure, they will try to roll you – they’ve taken your measure and see you as a weak man. Threatening blockade will take them off guard, but they’ll also be thinking that they can get you to back down once they throw some sweet words your way. That is why your words will have to be backed up with major ship movements towards the area.
They don’t want to fight us directly – they are building a nuclear program so that they can hide behind nukes and fight us via proxies without a worry of direct retaliation. They will back down if they believe the choice is war or submission. Do keep in mind, of course, that even if they back down they’ll still be dishonest and keep as much of their nuke program as they can…but you can slow them down for years, and in years a lot of things might change, including a revolution (and it’d be nice if you’d say a kind word or two about the Iranian dissidents, ya know?).
But if you go this route of endless jawing and waiting for this, that and the other thing to happen, then you’ll have no credibility and the Iranians will eventually laugh at your threats…which might put us in the difficult position of either backing down, or going to war. Much better if we make them dance to our tune.

I though he was going to meet with Iran under NO CONDITIONS!
Utter a few brilliant phrases …….
and POOF no more Iranian Nukes, Obama will save the world!!!!!
Well that is what all the moochers and looters tried to tell us when pimping for votes.
respect comes in the form of a serious hit on all thier underground nuclear operations with bunker busters and an EMP hit taking out thier communications…followed up by devastating strikes at all of thier military sites in a 24 hour period…
then it would be over
if they still didnt get the idea, we can blockade thier entire coast and destroy all roads leading out of iran..
the best trade routes they would have left would be on the backs of donkeys…
JS, what are the odds of this administration doing any of those things?
In my honest opinion, Obama would rather be friends with the terrorists. He has not been attending church and everything, and if he is a Muslim which is a big if, he knows that if he were to attend a mosque near to Washington D.C. there, that he would be given away immediately and that there would be an immediate tidal wave of up-roaring rejection of him…but my thinking is, is that he’s an atheist which is the anti-Christ, and it’s Islam that works in conjunction with the anti-Christ to fulfill their plots…and seeing as Obama is in a good position to help people of Islamic faith to carry out their plots of terrorism I don’t think for a second that he would come out in opposition to the Iranians actions…as I firmly believe they are plotting against all the Christians and Jews of the world.
js, you are aware that “bunker-busters” are nukes, which means WMD under international law, and that by our plan would mean unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation with wmds, right? That would make younthe only nation ever to use nukes in war. But you’re already that. That would make you the only nation ever to use nukes in a situation where no war is declared. Which means it would be a terrorist attack using nukes. Done by the US. Still like you plan?
even if you only can think in terms of your own ass, don’t you think it would make a few nations feel justified in losing a few nukes where a relative of the saudi king could find them?

Is this a rhetorical question, or what? The so-called President, whom I’ll refer to as the French Student in Chief, is more comfortable on the golf course or the dance floor. Recently, he did a photo op with the military, welcoming home our fallen heroes.
He’s a joke. Unfortunately, there’s no punch line…

Do you know you are talking out of your arse? Right?
Conventional Bunker Busters
During the 1991 Gulf war, allied forces knew of several underground military bunkers in Iraq that were so well reinforced and so deeply buried that they were out of reach of existing munitions. The U.S. Air Force started an intense research and development process to create a new bunker-busting bomb to reach and destroy these bunkers. In just a few weeks, a prototype was created. This new bomb had the following features:
* Its casing consists of an approximately 16-foot (5-meter) section of artillery barrel that is 14.5 inches (37 cm) in diameter. Artillery barrels are made of extremely strong hardened steel so that they can withstand the repeated blasts of artillery shells when they are fired.
* Inside this steel casing is nearly 650 pounds (295 kg) of tritonal explosive. Tritonal is a mixture of TNT (80 percent) and aluminum powder (20 percent). The aluminum improves the brisance of the TNT — the speed at which the explosive develops its maximum pressure. The addition of aluminum makes tritonal about 18 percent more powerful than TNT alone.
* Attached to the front of the barrel is a laser-guidance assembly. Either a spotter on the ground or in the bomber illuminates the target with a laser, and the bomb homes in on the illuminated spot. The guidance assembly steers the bomb with fins that are part of the assembly.
* Attached to the end of the barrel are stationary fins that provide stability during flight.

Thank you, js, for pointing out the stupidity of frenchie’s claim that of course ‘bunker busters’ are nukes.
I hear that France is asking the UN to intercede to stop the “student” from claiming he is French, saying that this claim is damaging France’s international status. The formal complaint states that the nation is still trying to recover from the embarrassment of believing Jerry Lewis to be a national treasure and extraordinary talent, and the association of the country’s name with the absurdity of the fake student’s posts is hindering their progress.
When I watch poor sad silly Barry in so far over his head as international bad guys run rings around him, I am reminded of the Osama Bin Laden video issued soon after 9/11, in which he bragged that the ineptitude and cowardice of the United States in not fighting back when attacked is precisely what emboldened him to carry out the 9/11 attacks.
I believe he called the US a “toothless tiger”. At least at that time we still had claim to Big Cat status—I think Barry and the Dreamers are reducing us to the neutered lap kitty category. Notice that I avoided the obvious “p” word.
Maybe someone should send a copy of the OBL tape to the White House……….
