Nukes, Gas and Gutlessness

We’ve been reading more and more lately, and I’ve even written about it, regarding the Iranian threat pending worldwide. Iran is close if not already able to create nuclear weapons and it’s only a matter of time before the Iranian Tyrant fulfills on his promised path of the nuclear destruction of Israel and you can bet that America will be next. This tyrant has blatantly ignored every “diplomatic” solution the United Nations and this administration has thrown at them.

I was reading today from an American Thinker article whose author brought forth an interesting premise. We know two things: First, Iran cannot refine their own crude oil; second, if we “shut off the export” of refined petroleum into Iran, their country’s tyrannical regime will fail. While the solution seems simple it’s been long overdue and one key Congressman, Howard Berman (D-CA), is blocking it at every stage possible.

AT reports that there is currently a bill ready for conference committee just waiting for its chair to select the members that will join him in finalizing the bill for a final House floor vote, long story short, Congressmen Berman has all but refused to do so. He has changed his pre-Obama position of strong sanctions against Iran to his new Obama aligned “do nothing” policy. There have been numerous reports of the Whitehouse using this Congressman to slow down the process. Which begs the question……WHY?

Its only a matter of time before Modern Warfare 2 comes to fruition between all nuclear states if Iran isn't stopped.

Those kinds of sanctions only work if the regime cares about how its people live. South Africa was the last country to cave in to sanctions, and even then it took a long time. Tyrants recognize only force and fear of force.

Ya but, the smart diplomacy of H! is going to kick in any day now.

The attacks will likely happen during a Republican presidency and nobody will remember the inaction of the Obama administration. Nobody will ever learn. Not now and not in the future.

…WHY?

I don’t really care, more to the point would be why one man is seemingly able to stop the solution?
