U.S. calls meeting to prepare new sanctions against Iran
By Matthew Schofield | McClatchy Newspapers


VIENNA, Austria — After 18 years of concealing a nuclear program from the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency and four years of fruitless talks with the international community, Iran has pledged to come clean with facts to back up its claim that it isn't seeking to build a nuclear weapon.

But the Bush administration, wary of any Iranian moves short of an immediate halt to its nuclear enrichment program, will attempt to convince other major powers Friday to impose tougher United Nations sanctions on Tehran.

1. It's gonna be just like the Iraqi run up...

They will delay it just long enough so that the people running next year will be forced to take a stand and you know what that means...

Even if we win, meaning democrats, we will own another war...

3. Wow! Wash, rinse, repeat, are we that stupid as a country?

Iraq was wrong, invading Iran will be wrong and the history books will show that. Maybe not ours, but the rest of the world sees us as an invading army!

Hello! WAKE THE FUCK UP CONGRESS. Stop this shit before it goes too far!
