Unfortunately, the Obama administration holds the upper hand. The current draft of the bill says the president shall impose sanctions–and that provision is non-binding. Thousands of waivers have already been issued by the Treasury Department, and the president has granted both China and India permission to continue importing Iranian oil. Furthermore, the Washington Free Beacon reports that the Obama administration is attempting to water down the sanctions even more as a sop to the insurance industry that underwrites shipping companies, cargo carriers, or airlines that have been subject to sanctions. If Congress were to pass the harsher restrictions outlined above, it would force the president to reveal whether he is genuinely interested in preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon–or simply paying lip service to the idea.
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is seemingly betting on lip service. On Wednesday, he contended that sanctions against Iran were largely useless, and that the “time to resolve this issue peacefully is running out.” The New York Times reported that “public statements and private communications from the Israeli leadership” have renewed concerns that Israel may attempt a unilateral strike on Iran as early as this fall. That sent several administration officials hightailing it to Israel, including Defense Secretary Panetta. According the to the Times, “a number of administration officials say they remain hopeful that Israel has no imminent plans to attack and may be willing to let the United States take the lead in any future military strike, which they say would not occur until next year at the earliest.”
In other words, the administration is doing everything it can to persuade the Jewish State not to roil the American presidential election by forcing Obama to reveal where he really stands regarding the prospect of renewed war in the Middle East. The Times dances around this reality, noting that one of the reasons Israel “may act in September or early October” is that “Mr. Netanyahu feels that he will have less leverage if President Obama is re-elected…” (Or maybe no leverage at all if the president wins another four years). It is also worth remembering that Obama is in the midst of an unprecedented courtship of the Muslim Brotherhood, highlighted by his invitation to newly-elected Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi to visit the White House in September. It is virtually certain that an attack on Iran led or assisted by the United States would put a huge dent in the president’s Muslim “outreach” efforts.
Efraim Halevy, a former chief of Israel’s intelligence agency and national security adviser, made it clear that some officials in Israel are running out of patience. “If I were an Iranian, I would be very fearful of the next 12 weeks,” he said. That sentiment was echoed by Amos Harel, defense correspondent for Haaretz. He estimated that the chance of an attack before November was 50 percent. “It’s probably a more crucial junction than it was ever before,” he contended. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s spokesman Mark Regev, who noted Ahmadinejad’s “extreme, poisonous language is unfortunately par for the course for the Iranian leadership,” called upon the international community to ”prevent the Iranian regime–with its fanatical and hate filled agenda–from obtaining nuclear capability.”
Whether the international community–or the Obama administration–is up to the task is deeply uncertain.

Ahmadinejad is right. There's a jew in every woodpile. The world would be a lot better without Israel, which the Iranian President correctly characterized as a "stinking corpse."
Jelousy makes you ugly!
…and so does jealousy !

KaliphakeHunter,
Happy Nakba!
May all your jihads turn into Nakbas!
You sir, are simply put…A Piece Of TRASH!
Simmer down there Adolph. I think we'll all get to see soon enough which country will be the stinking corpse. In the meantime, 'lil Mengele, subservient to the gutter religion of Islam has made you a mindless dreg and not a very entertaining one at that.
Takes a stinking corpse to know one.
Just report IT – it's not worthy of discussion, and should spread its blind hate somewhere else.
Has anyone ever told you,you're a creep,DeShawn? Well,you are.
Vile and reported.
@ karzarhunter U are a big fool stink muslim the jews will reign fire and brimestone on u soon dead walking corpse like u.
C'mon schlockfor brains and company, lets see you try and spin this one?
Oh, and by the way, happy eternal nakba!
I have a recurring dream that Ahmadinejad bends over to tie his shoelace and cops and Israeli nuke right up his clacker. This wannabe *itler deserves no less.
Yes if the muslo-nazis want nukes why not give them some? Say from 54,000 feet and in 5 kiloton yields.
It could be worse, you could be his wife!
I believe that the Iranian nuclear dumps will not be immediately visited. The islamic cult of death should anyway continue to pile on them all the concrete, plate steel and rocks they have… All that is being done by the clergy… there and also most of the air defenses are concentrated at those sites.
Easy pickings otherwise… The warnings to the deranged psychopaths could not have been clearer. That includes everyone in that side of the line, everyone…
Read, 'THE COMING: A TRUE STORY OF HORROR' @ amazon.com. This book truly shows what our future looks like.
Why didn't Obama arrest his fellow grifter in murder – Ahmadinejad – when he stepped off the plane in New York for the hostage crisis in 1979?
Why has Mr. Obama sabotaged Israel's attempt to destory Iran's nuclear program by releasing classified materials (stuxnet, Flame, DUQU and Stars)? Even Diane Feinstein admitted it came from the White House, and probably through Valerie Jarrett.
Why is Mr. Obama stabbing Israel in the back after proclaiming – I have Israel's back?
Why is Mr. Obama removing dictatorships in favor of the statist fascist totalitarian al-Qaida Islamic Brotherhood surrounding Israel? How is that supporting Israel?
Why doesn't Mr. Obama admit that he is infact a muslim with alliances steeped in deceit to all who cross his path, especially infidals, read – Christians and Jews.
Why not just call him a Marxist?… because it means the same thing as a radical Muslim,…without Marxism, he will not be able to use the Muslim card…I am not a Republican, but if I was, that's what I would do.
Or, a half Muslim, because that is more accurate; and most will interpret that as being Muslim, anyways, without defaming Islam.
Obama is a marxist of muslim heritage.
The way he handed libya to al qaida as a safe haven with oil revenue to fund the growing terror in Africa proved it.
Here is what Ahmadinejad really said:
"[Ahmadinejad] noted that people around the world have the right to enjoy justice, respect and freedom with no discrimination and exception, urging all freedom-seeking and justice-seeking nations to adopt a measure to rout the epitome of the Zionist hegemony, with the final purpose of establishing justice and freedom across the globe."
presstv.ir/detail/2012/08/02/253995/nations-must-unite-against-zionism/
Ahmadinejad believes that justice-seeking nations should not allow Zionists to run world affairs any more, and that instead justice and peace should prevail.
Sometimes it helps to find out what the quote was before the Jewish media "edits" it.
Do you like being lied to?
You obviously do by pushing the cite at us.
Please explain how I am lying, and what does "pushing the cite at us" mean? I cited Iran's state media, The JP cited the same source (the JP said that their version of the quote was "published on his website Thursday" – the ADL was more accurate, saying that the quote was "released by the Iranian official news media" : adl.org/PresRele/IslME_62/6357_62.htm) . I quoted the same source as the JP and the ADL. So why are the quotes different? Why would the JP and the ADL change the quote to make it say something different than what was really said?
In your opinion – which is more credible?
North Korean State Controlled Media – or – Iranian State Controlled Media.
As I said above, I am quoting the same source as the ADL and the JP, which is the Iranian state media. The issue is not whether or not you believe what IRNA said, because the JP and the ADL are also quoting IRNA. Why does the JP and the ADL change what they see reported on IRNA? Are you saying that they look at what it says on IRNA, and just by reading it, they "know" it actually means that Ahmadinejad really said something different, and that he actually said that Israel should be annihilated? Because they "know" this, they feel that it is OK to simply change the quote?
I am quoting the same source as the ADL and the JP. Try and understand what that means.
You were more than "quoting" – You were adding your belief system.
Ahmadinejad believes that justice-seeking nations should not allow Zionists to run world affairs any more, and that instead justice and peace should prevail.
You discredit yourself with inane idiocy.
LOL!
The day the quote first came out, I predicted that soon, we would be told it was mistranslated. Thanks for obliging. So if Iran were to drop a nuclear bomb on Israel, you would no doubt tell us that it wasn't really nuclear and it was only aimed at the chief of the IDF – and all those all other folks killed were really killed, just "edited"?
No. If Iran dropped a nuclear bomb on Israel, I would acknowledge that it happened. But that has not happened. Let’s try to stick to reality. The reality is that the quote in this thread is a lie. I have looked at many, many of these quotes over the years, and they are all lies. I have also looked at many of the other claims made by the MSM about Iran that are not merely quotes, and they are all lies, too. I detailed some of them here:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/39038338/Pierre-Goldsch…
If Iran is so evil and if they are planning to nuke Israel, then why does everyone have to lie about it? If Ahmadinejad makes “genocidal” quotes, then why can’t they be reported accurately? Why do they have to be fabricated? Your opinion of Ahmadinejad and of Iran are based on nothing but lies, and if I had the time I could should this quite clearly (I did so for many of the lies in the paper above). Your position, however, is to ignore the fact that they are lies, and to support bombing Iran anyway. In your mind, even though everything that is reported about Iran are lies, let’s bomb them anyway and kill a hundred thousand or so in the process just in case any of it is true. This is your position, yet you say it is Ahmadinejad that is evil.
Your Al Taqiyya lies need a lot more work "Dave".
Your liberal logic is absolutely mind boggling, keep up with the wishful thing Sparky, you and the rest of the peace now crowd and your good intentions always leads to more bloodshed later on.
@dave742 :
You posted:
"If Iran dropped a nuclear bomb on Israel, I would acknowledge that it happened".
If GOD FORBID that happened ,YOU would be the same as all who saw their Jewish Neighbors DRAGGED from their homes and "acknowledged" that they "went away".
If you're following these events, via Iranian media, you likely believe that this is only about " Medical Isotopes"
Who are the "Zionists that run World Affairs" ????? And why is there more evidence of Islamic violence than Zionist???? This "Zionist Conspiracy" twaddle has been espoused for a long time.
""And what is anti-Zionist? It is the denial to the Jewish people of a fundamental right that we justly claim for the people of Africa and freely accord all other nations of the Globe. It is discrimination against Jews, my friend, because they are Jews. In short, it is antisemitism.
"The anti-Semite rejoices at any opportunity to vent his malice. The times have made it unpopular, in the West, to proclaim openly a hatred of the Jews. This being the case, the anti-Semite must constantly seek new forms and forums for his poison. How he must revel in the new masquerade! He does not hate the Jews, he is just 'anti-Zionist'!" M.L. King Jr., "This I Believe: Selections from the Writings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr." (New York, 1971), pp. 234-235.)
I didn't realize the antisemitic Zionist euphemism for Jew went back as far as that, or that MLK realized it way back then! If only MLK had lived. He would've made a difference in the ugly world we're living in today.
Sorry,Dave742,but I usually don't go to the websites of genocidal lunatics like the Iranian mullahs. You sound like another anti-semite carrying water for those psychos. I have no problems with Israel. It's people like you and your anti-Jewish bigotry I have the problem with.
@dave742:
Your source is Press,which is Iran's Government Propaganda "media"
It's YOU,Jew-Hater,who's being LIED TO.
I always wondered, do the muslo-maniacs actually believe their own antisemitic propaganda? Oftentimes, their propaganda is so banal and crude you would think a junior high school student could see through it.
They are the result of hundreds of years of a flawed breeding program that has left them little better than pakistani rat children. (you can google picks, it's not pretty). So, they are told a repeated lie over and over growing up in madrases and don't even know how to challenge the mind set.
BEWARE OF THE FAKE SUPPORTERS OF ISRAEL especially politicians who need the Jewish vote and their money. But beware also of FAKE JEWS who are the vocal minority and who speak for Israel and Jews. They side with the views of those who want the destruction of Israel.
The number one FAKE: BARACK OBAMA and who 75% of American Jews will support!
There are 20 countries exempt from the Iranian sanctions. The sanction are smoke and mirrors to deceive the unsuspecting voters.
Maybe it's time for regime change in the USA, Israel and the UK?
Who in Israel would do a better job than Netanyahu? The previous PM was worse from what I remember.
Why would jews vote for a muslim president? Strange and suicidal. ;(
When you count the votes, you can claim anything.
And the anti-Israel crowd once again yells "HEIL AHMADINEJAD!"
Useless talks negotiating nothing, foot dragging enables Iran to attain a position that
will threaten the World. Obama is an Islamist enabler, enemy of Israel and not to leave
it out, a two faced Mullahrat that hates America as is and wants US as and Islamist
state with Marxist controls. Historians if there are any will consider his becoming
President of America a great mystery associated with the educational dumb down of
the Nation. What will they call him, 'The Dark Lord' could be………………William
"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad continues to push his country towards a seemingly inevitable showdown with the ZIONIST-CONTROLLED West……………"
Delusional Jew hatred, it's what's for breakfast, lunch and dinner in any islamocratic state.
“Qods Day is not merely a strategic solution for the Palestinian problem, as it is to be viewed as a key for solving the world problems,”
IS IT NOT OBVIOUS THAT ZIONISTS ARE BEHIND MOST WORLD'S PROBLEMS……..palestine, lebanon, war on libya, iraq, afghanistan, 9/11, pornography, immorality-filled hollywood……..and the list goes
The only thing wrong with that little islamaniac picture is it is not true, No islam, know peace, know islam, no peace.
"The attack comes on the heels of the latest round of sanctions imposed by Western nations attempting to persuade the Islamic Republic to abandon its nuclear development program………….."
REALITY IS: "The attack by Ahmadinejad comes on the heels of the latest round of sanctions imposed BY THE US CONGRESS AND SENATE WHICH ARE IN THE POCKETS OF PRO-ZIONIST LOBBIES LIKE AIPAC!
PLUS: why is no one trying to persuade the zionist state of israel to abandon its vast nuclear programme…….oooooooooops sorry, i forgot that no one is supposed to ask that question!
Apologies for asking! it was a slip of tongue!
If you hate living here in the West so much? Leave in peace while you can.
"President Obama has granted both China and India permission to continue importing Iranian oil………………….."
Oh! really????????????? Does china/india have to check with obama first before making a decision???????????/
strange!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama has delusions of grandeur, and he doesn't do anything to impede iranian jihad around the world.
"the obama administration is doing everything it can to persuade the Jewish State not to roil the American presidential election……………………………"
by calling israel a JEWISH STATE, where does that leave the millions of non-jews (christian, muslims, bahaais etc) who are israeli citizens???????????????????????????????????
Israeli Druze have recently come out in SUPPORT of the JEWISH state of Israel? I imagine the Druze, Bahai and Christians are much happier in Israel than they would be in any of the islamofascist piggeries of the Mid-East and N. Africa because they know how the muslo-nazis would be treating them if they had half the chance.
u mean the non-jews in israel are happy being officially designated as third-class citizens???????????????? strange! like a dhimmi
The arab citizens of Israel are treated much better than the Christian copts in Egypt.
"Mark Regev, who is Netanyahu's spokesman called upon the international community to ”prevent the Iranian regime–with its fanatical and hate filled agenda–from obtaining nuclear capability.”
what i fear more is what zionist israel would do with its huge arsenal of weapons as fundamentalist and extremist rabbis become more influential in that country
i dont have say to what the majority of rabbis in israel think of non-jews………….
If they were going to mindlessly attack like Iran would, it would have happened already.
Because Ahmadinejad's religion puts light for darkness and darkness for light, what he is really saying is those who love injustice and slavery should join together against Israel. In order for injustice and slavery to succeed and dominate the world Israel must be one of the main targets of annihilation.
Metzora 4. He who speaks with an evil tongue. A synopsis:
"Rabbi Yitzchak says that G-d pardons everything except an evil tongue; one who speaks of evil, intending to defile another, is defiled himself. Rabbi Yehuda says that the word Metzora, meaning 'leper', includes the words Mozi Ra, meaning "speaks evil", and we learn that the prayers of one who speaks evil never come before G-d until he repents; then he will be cleansed."
Typical muslim talking points.
You didn't show I was wrong. Typical muslim tactics.
And of course, we know why you are here. You admitted it!

I'm like jesus, I'm gonna chase you money changers out of the temple and out of town and of course out of this forum. Me and ohsoquiet and a few other REAL AMERICANS who are being PAID to be here like you Israeli PR men. I'm here to chase you filth out.
Yes, you probably have a lot of family begging in front of those shrines.
Then move back to Pakistain and marry one.
Say hi to uncle dad and aunty mom for me will ya hadji?
All pakistanis are rat children.
Let's connect the dots – Egyptian Al-Qaida leader Ayman Mohammed Rabie al-Zawahiri is and was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood – Obama aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya, Syria, Tunsia, and Sudan.
Obama funded, provided logistics, and arms for the "rebels".
It's easy to draw a conclusion that Obama is an al-Qaida sympathizer at minimum – and a full blown member at maximum.
You as an iranian hack paid troll would say that. When you handler gives you talking points you trot them out, don't you realize in effect you are simply reduced to a 'rented mouth'? What does sharia say should happen to rented mouths?
He can't run iran right, why would you want him to screw anyplace else up?
You think he hasn't? His sister and he are very happy.
I catch that as a rented mouth you pass along comments from your handler.
Remember how you explained it to us?

You are a liar mostly. And pakistani rat children are from the muslim areas. Do you have a pretend link to show, or are you simply insulting India?
No, read the name. 'pakistani rat children'. That's pakistani for a reason.
So, are you proud that your sister gets to beg?
Troll hole? You keep bringing up your mother. Why do you do that?
Like you do?
I wouldn't bought your mom's balls.
You sure are a great rented mouth. Do you get paid extra for working late?
Your mom was lying, I've never even met her.
Why, do you want me to pay for some of her time like everyone else?
They are pakistani rat children.
Is that the best you can do?
All pakistanis are rat children.
