BRASILIA, Brazil – Brazil vowed Wednesday not to "bow down" to gathering international pressure to impose new economic penalties on Iran over its nuclear program if further negotiations might be fruitful.

With visiting U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton standing beside him, Brazil's foreign minister said his country is concerned about Iran's nuclear intentions.

But Foreign Minister Celso Amorim (SELL-so ah-more-EEM) says Brazil will make its own decision on Iran.

Typical Banana Republic Response - Brazil wants to be a world power player, but continues to show that it is not ready. I guess the weak Administration in the US, gives wannabe dictators like Lula the option of pushing around Hitlery. Hugo would be proud.

Its wonderful to be working together with the rest of the world again.

Nice Job Hillary. You kissed her butt and she pooped on you. LOL

[Pessimist]

So this is that post American world Obama was reading about.

[silverleaf]

Obama said if he went to all countries he could get everyone to work together. He is such a marvel /s.

This is the post-American world that Obama, his administration, and all of our adversaries have been working to bring about for the past decade — and in some cases longer. It is breath-taking. Wonder how much help world power Brazil provided Haiti?

Ol’ Crusty is having a helluva trip, isn’t she? Brazil tells her to eff off and she and Argentina stick it to [formerly] Great Britain. What’s next, a date with Hugo?

[Gay State Conservative]

i doubt that Israel will be consulting Brazil...or even will care about what Brazil thinks...when the Israeli Air Force starts to deal with Iran.It’s just a question of how many Brazilian “advisers” will be irradiated in the attacks.

[proud American in Canada]

Nice Job Hillary. You kissed her butt and she pooped on you. LOL

LOL!

[No Blue States]

LMAO!

[JMS]

So cancel our investment in their off shore drilling and use it to drill off our shores. Actions should have consequences.

[70th Division]

And Obama has the balls to say Bush pissed off the world. What a joke

[A Texan]

This must some how be Bush’s fault.

[No Blue States]

I wonder if they “miss him yet?”

Our allies certainly do.

Our enemies not so much.

Wonder how much help world power Brazil provided Haiti?

In defense of Brazil, they did send military support teams for search and rescue, as well as food and monetary aid, albeit nowhere near the level of the US. The Haiti quake was all over TV Globo for two weeks, and Lula made several speeches committing to help.

This is just the Brazucas showing the US that they are too big to be bribed into supporting Iran anymore, nor do they want to be "little buddy" to Uncle Sam. More interested to see how the Central Asian republics are standing on this.
