President Obama said Tuesday that he's "bent over backwards" to engage Iran in "constructive" dialogue and said the U.S. will move to sanction the country, which has begun enriching uranium to levels capable of making an atomic bomb.

Obama told reporters during a rare press conference Tuesday that the U.S. is developing a "significant regime of sanctions" in response to the Islamic Republic's move to enrich uranium to 20 percent purity level in defiance of world powers.

"That indicates to us that despite their posturing that their nuclear power is only for, for civilian use that they in fact continue to pursue a course that would lead to weaponization," Obama said. "That is not acceptable to the international community.

Obama said the process toward adding new sanctions is moving along quickly, but he gave no specific timeline.

Well no sh*t sherlock, this is something many of us have
known from the very beginning.
If it wasn’t going to cost Israeli or American lives, I’d
say it serves him right. Damn liberal “intellectuals” are
as smart as a box of rocks.

And it didn't work? Wow. Does that mean it wasn't Bush's fault after all?

Dear Mr. President,

Iran did not unclench its fist.

It shoved it up your ass.

Thank you very much for the safety and security your administration provides.

Nah, just kidding.

Your FAILURE is our new status quo.

Feel free to resign immediately you useless eater.

Sincerely,

The American Citizens

The Pentagon said the U.S. wants a U.N. Security Council resolution "within weeks" to halt the program, which it claims is intended to make a nuclear bomb.

Yeah, the U.N. Security Council which include the Russian and Chinese are going to pass and sign and enforce a resolution to halt the Iranians weapons program.

I mean really just who do the administration think they are fooling ???
