ANOTHER FAMOUS VICTORY - TELL YOUR FRIENDS, CALL YOUR MOTHER – AT 10:50 A.M. ET:  The Obama administration, tough as nails, scores another victory in our fight-to-the death against Iran, demonstrating how it got China on our side.  From AP:

SINGAPORE — A state-owned Chinese refiner plans to ship 30,000 metric tons of gasoline to Iran after European traders halted shipments ahead of possible new UN sanctions, according to Singapore ship brokers.

Beijing has growing commercial and political ties with Iran and has resisted US pressure for sanctions to press Teheran to abandon its nuclear program. Chinese officials say the country is entitled to energy trade.

Unipec, the trading arm of China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., or Sinopec, plans to load the oil tanker Hongbo with the gasoline Thursday in Singapore, said the brokers, who asked not to be identified further to avoid jeopardizing customer relations.

They said the tanker will likely go directly to Iran.

The gasoline shipment suggests Chinese refiners are moving to fill the void left by European suppliers, who halted sales to Iran earlier this year.

A deputy Chinese foreign minister, Cui Tiankai, said Tuesday that China is ready to discuss all ideas that UN Security Council members put forward to deal with Iran's nuclear program. But he said any agreement on Iran must involve all parties, not just one or two countries.

COMMENT:  Oh, I guess it really isn't a victory, is it?  But I'll bet the Obamans can get the Chinese not to send the highest octane gasoline, couldn't they?  And no windshield cleaning fluid, that's for sure!  And those damned mullahs can forget Simoniz!  We're on a roll.

Pretty pathetic, don't you think?
