THE MARCH OF WEAKNESS – AT 8:30 A.M. ET:  Naturally, the justifiable Israeli raid on a "peace" ship near Gaza is being put to good use at the United Nations, where no dictator need fear anything.  From The Politico:

A U.N. vote on Iran nuclear sanctions will likely be pushed back because of fallout from the Israeli raid on the Gaza aid flotilla, sources said Wednesday.

The Obama administration had been planning to bring a new Iran sanctions resolution to a vote at the U.N. Security Council on Thursday but diplomatic sources said the vote is not likely to take place this week.

In a breakfast meeting with journalists Tuesday, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu criticized the United States for not outright condemning the Israeli actions.

He also expressed longstanding Turkish opposition to imposing economic sanctions on Iran, which Davutoglu said would severely impact the Turkish economy, just as Iraq sanctions did a decade ago.

COMMENT:  Hey, what's another week or two, right?  I mean, the Obama foreign policy machine has already squandered almost 17 months on the Iran nuclear issue, so let's not get picky as to timing.  And, you know, we can always blame Israel and its penchant for protecting its people. 

All the while, the centrifuges in Iran continue spinning.  They're on their way to a nuclear weapon.  We hope Obama shows some interest in that.  In fact, we hope Obama shows some interest in his job.
