WE ARE SHOCKED AT THIS REACTION TO OUR LOVE AND OUTREACH – AT 8:35 A.M. ET:  The foreign minister of Iran has announced his country's reaction to the latest round of UN pussycat sanctions:

The latest round of Security Council sanctions against Iran will not prevent the country from proceeding with its nuclear program, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Thursday.

In a letter addressed to the fifteen member-states of the UN Security Council and communicated by AFP, Mottaki wrote that Teheran “considers that the adoption of such resolutions [against Iran] will not affect its utterly peaceful nuclear program.”

He reportedly added that the “hasty adoption” of “unjust and illegal” new sanctions had only made the Islamic republic “more determined” to go ahead with its plans.

On Friday, the Obama administration welcomed Congressional approval of sweeping Iran sanctions, after months of reservations and negotiations over the legislation.

COMMENT:  Yeah, right.  Once they were approved, and considering that this is an election year, Obama "welcomed" our own sanctions.  His boys had been trying to undercut congressional action for months.

Look, we know where this is going.  Iran will have the bomb, but will probably not announce it, allowing our intelligence agencies to give ambiguous assessments, which would serve Obama's purpose, which is to do nothing serious.

This chicken will come home to roost.  I hope it avoids an American city.
