Yahoo News ^ | March 3, 2012 | Shawn Humphrey

Posted on 03/03/2012 9:41:11 AM PST by Innovative

The U.S. Agriculture Department sale of 120,000 tons of red winter wheat to Iran will be delivered by May 31. It is not clear how the country will pay for the wheat given monetary sanctions and it is not certain the Treasury Department approved the deal in advance, as required.

It looks like Obama didn’t ask or get Congressional approval, he just decided it on his own.

In 1955 Leonard Wibberley wrote a novel, The Mouse that Roared, in which a very small country decided that the best way to get a lot of money would be to declare war on the U.S., lose, and then reap the benefits of our magnanimity. Apparently, losing is no longer necessary to get American aid.

Another article I just found:

Only Crippling Sanctions Will Stop Iran

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/03/opinion/only-crippling-sanctions-will-stop-iran.html

“If Western nations wish to avoid a military confrontation in the Persian Gulf and prevent a nuclear Iran, they must adopt crippling sanctions that will bring Iran’s economy to the brink of collapse. That means a complete United Nations-imposed oil embargo enforced by a naval blockade, as well as total diplomatic isolation. And they must warn Iran that if it tries to jump the last wall, the West is willing and capable of inflicting devastating harm. “

Instead, Obama is feeding them, which, naturally encourages them. Does Obama want to see Israel wiped off the map by Iran? One starts to wonder...

“What a joke Hussein has become!”

Actually, the problem is that he is not a joke, he is a real danger to Israel, the US and the world...

In the meantime, some deluded Jewish voters still plan to vote for him...

Dem pollster: No danger of Obama losing the Jewish vote

http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/03/dem-pollster-no-danger-of-obama-losing-the-jewish-116200.html

“According to Gerstein, Democrats still maintained a 66 to 31 percent advantage among Jewish voters in the 2010 midterms - in a year where the GOP won in a landslide. Jewish voters voted for Democrats in greater numbers than other key Democratic constituencies, including unmarried women, Hispanics and voters under 30.

In July J Street polling, Jews disapprove of the tea party movement 74 percent, with 12 percent approval. They disapprove of Mitt Romney 60 percent to 16 percent, and they disapprove of former President George W. Bush 73 percent to to 16 percent. In the same survey, Obama is above water 56 percent to 34 percent - numbers similar to a recent Gallup polls from the fall that showed Obama at 54 percent to 41 percent.”

When used correctly, food/hunger is the greatest weapon ever devised. Let them starve for a while. Then watch the Iranian people overthrow their ‘rulers’.

Same with North Korea.

IMPEACH OBAMA NOW! THIS IS PURE TREASON!

It’s not just Iran, it is the whole of the mid east,
Why are we not using food as a weapon against the likes of say saudi arabia and their brand of screw the west? Same for Iran, Syria, Egypt and Pakistan and Afganistan?

The White House appears to be trying to help the current Iranian regime win their elections. What have the mullahs agreed to do for Obama in return? Perhaps wait until after Obama is reelected before they destabilize Iraq.
