US Senate draws its Iran line in the sand...

[eyer]

Resolution co-sponsor Joseph Lieberman to the Islamic Republic of Iran:

...you have only two choices: peacefully negotiate to end your nuclear weapons program or expect a military strike to disable that program.

Co-sponsor Lindsey Graham:

To the Iranian regime, your efforts yesterday to show to the world how far you’ve gone, and how capable you are, is not going to deter us from saying no to your ambitions.

Here's the actual meat of the Senate Resolution:

Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Senate—

(1) affirms that it is a vital national interest of the United States to prevent the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability;

(2) warns that time is limited to prevent the Iranian government from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability;

(3) urges continued and increasing economic and diplomatic pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran to secure an agreement from the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran that includes—

..(A) the full and sustained suspension of all uranium enrichment-related and reprocessing activities;

..(B) complete cooperation with the IAEA on all outstanding questions related to Iran’s nuclear activities, including—

.....(i) the implementation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty Additional Protocol;

.....(ii) the verified end of Iran’s ballistic missile programs; and

..(C) a permanent agreement that verifiably assures that Iran’s nuclear program is entirely peaceful;

(4) expresses support for the universal rights and democratic aspirations of the Iranian people;

(5) strongly supports United States policy to prevent the Iranian Government from acquiring nuclear weapons capability;

(6) rejects any United States policy that would rely on efforts to contain a nuclear weapons-capable Iran; and

(7) urges the President to reaffirm the unacceptability of an Iran with nuclear-weapons capability and oppose any policy that would rely on containment as an option in response to the Iranian nuclear threat.

There will be blood....

More honky oppression yo.

US Senate draws its Iran line in the sand...

*yawn* When it comes to Congressional chest-thumping ultimatums, I think you will find that it's a pretty long fucking beach.

Right. The POTUS can in some circumstances start a war without Congress' OK, but that does not work the other way around. No American soldier fires a shot, no Navy ship stirs from port, without the order coming from the WH ultimately.

 

[Destinys_Bitch]

I wouldn't think any of their dicks are long enough to reach the sand.

 

[KingOrfeo]

There will be blood....

But whose?

 

[Colonel Hogan]

I wouldn't think any of their dicks are long enough to reach the sand.

Much less actually being firm enough to draw a line in it.

Fucking with Middle Eastern countries run by batshit crazy religious zealots with nuclear weapons always works out.

But enough about Israel . . .

Are you that stupid?

(...who's is surrounded by countries sworn to destroy her.)

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

It's funny that the same people who cheered the Democracy movements of Jihad against Israel have such an animus towards the actual Democracy of the region...

Well let us be very honest here. We started it.

KO is a complete moron.

 

[miles]

I've been saying it for months...Obama desperately needs to make a big splash. Attacking Iran would probably get him re-elected.

 

[KingOrfeo]

Israel is that; Israel is also a Middle Eastern country run by batshit crazy religious zealots with nuclear weapons. (And for these purposes Zionism, as expressed in Israeli-Jewish settlements on the West Bank, has become a religion to them.)

 

[tactful]

Send our whole Congressional team, to meet with their Islamic team, let them work it all out in the sands, or tents, whatever.

Here's the actual meat of the Senate Resolution:

obama will move that line in the sand. maybe he will send in a couple cruise missiles. this would be a hard war to win and obama doesn't have the balls necessary to play in this game.

this Iran mess will have to wait for the next POTUS (as the obama has gotta go)

 

[NeverEndingMe]

yeah next time we know obama will want funding to train the taliban

That's gonna happen anyway. Look at who he will be running against...what cream of the crop you have

"Work it all out" being a sexual euphemism, of course.

 

[Beco]

What do you mean, we? France helped Israel get its nukes....

 

[miles]

Israel is that; Israel is also a Middle Eastern country run by batshit crazy religious zealots with nuclear weapons. (And for these purposes Zionism, as expressed in Israeli-Jewish settlements on the West Bank, has become a religion to them.)

You just answered my question.

 

[NeverEndingMe]

You just answered my question.
