WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The United States imposed stiff sanctions against Iran on Thursday, targeting two Iranian military groups and a number of Iranian banks and people it accuses of backing nuclear proliferation and terror-related activities.

"What this means is that no U.S. citizen or private organization will be allowed to engage in financial transactions with these persons and entities," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said. "In addition, any assets that these designees have under U.S. jurisdiction will be immediately frozen."

Rice and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson made the announcement in a brief appearance before reporters on Thursday morning.

Keep on pushing Iran into a corner until someone there does something that "justifies" our attacking them. Accompanied by "See I told you so". That IS the plan.
 
Russia, China, Venezuela and other nations will step into any void the US creates with Iran.

Another lose, lose situation for the US.

You supported, applauded, and was proud of it. You were one of a whole bunch of idiot cheerleaders.

YOU didn't possess the intellectual capacity to figure out that YOU were being played the FOOL.

Now YOU, the very same dummy who fell for that bullshit has the gall to talk about kool-aid drinkers. :shock:

truly amazing

Putin warns against sanctions on Iran
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071025/ap_on_re_eu/eu_russia_summit

LISBON, Portugal - Russia's President Vladimir Putin on Thursday warned strongly against new international sanctions on Iran, saying they would lead to a dead end.

Putin, in Portugal for a summit with leaders of the European Union, said the standoff over Iran's nuclear program should be resolved through talks, pointing at North Korea as an example.

"Why worsen the situation and bring it to a dead end by threatening sanctions or military action," Putin said in a veiled reference to the U.S. push for harsher international sanctions against Tehran.

"Running around like a madman with a razor blade, waving it around, is not the best way to resolve the situation," the Russian leader said.

Putin spoke after the Bush administration imposed sweeping new sanctions against Iran, cutting off key Iranian military and banking institutions from the American financial system for Tehran's alleged support for terrorism and nuclear weapons ambitions. Putin did not directly refer to the U.S. actions.

The Russia president said dialogue proved successful in dealing with North Korea. "Not long ago it didn't seem possible to resolve the situation with North Korea's nuclear program, but we have practically solved it relying on peaceful means," Putin said.

He's a right-wing nutcase who voted for Bush and supported this war and it does not take genius to figure that out.

If I thought you supported the war I would say so, but I haven't because I don't know if you did or not .. but most assuredly, this idiot did .. yet you chose to jump in an deny it where he did not.

Why would you do that?

How do you know who he voted for? As far as I understand it, he didn't vote in that election.

And it is because I have 'known' him for a long time.

You have assumed something. That can, and almost always does, come back to bite you in the behind.

This one may not, but as far as I remember, you have assumed who he voted for, and what he cheered incorrectly.

So since you have a crystal ball and can see everything, you obviously know your mom was blowing me the whole time.
 
But anyway. Neocons are in a spot with this sanctions talk; according to their globalist rhetoric "No economic sanctions work."(tm)

I'm not so sure. Where do you suppose most of the frozen assets are
located. I honestly don't know, that's why I'm asking.....if you have a clue.

Putin dissolved his government anyway. He can say whatever he wants now.

I'm afraid that I've now joined Darla in her position on yet another issue. Senator Clinton's vote for the Kyl-Lieberman amendment means that I cannot vote for her for president. That really sucks but there it is.

If Clinton is the Dem nominee, I'm voting Green again.
