UNITED NATIONS - The five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council agreed on a statement Wednesday demanding that Iran suspend uranium enrichment, setting the stage for the first action by the powerful body over fears that Tehran wants a nuclear weapon.
The 15 members of the council planned to meet later Wednesday to approve the statement. Uranium enrichment is a process that can lead to a nuclear weapon.
powerful body ??????????
Argentina (2006) Greece (2006) Qatar (2007) Congo (Republic of the) (2007) Japan (2006) Slovakia (2007) Denmark (2006) Peru (2007) United Republic of Tanzania (2006) and Ghana (2007)
This might just come to a head afterall.
I'm surprised China and Russa got on board with this.
the powerful body?
LOL! Yeah, that's the powerful body that threatened Hussein for ten years then refused to enforce it's own resolutions.
Thank God for GWB and his appt of John Bolton. Can you imagine the scenario with a President Kerry?
Ooooh!
Ooooh!
The stage is set for a possible future action!
By a POWERFUL BODY, no less!
Take THAT, Mr. Iwannajihad!
maybe the stink about them?
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The five U.N. Security Council permanent members reached agreement on Wednesday on how to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions after concessions were made to Russia and China, Britain announced.
"Our colleagues in the P-5 (permanent five) have reached an agreement on a text," Britain's U.N. Ambassador Emyr Jones Parry told reporters. The five are the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China.
The full 15-member council considers the issue later on Wednesday and could formally approve the statement, hours before ministers of the five powers and Germany meet in Berlin.
Beat me to it. :)
'yawn!' so what? are they going to DO anything about it other than jaw?
John Kerry: "I have a plan..."
Didn't Bush say that if this decision is reached in the security council, that at that point in time Iran had 4 weeks to comply.............
Reminds of Josef Stalin's comments on the Catholic church, “How many divisions does the pope have?"
STOP, or we'll say STOP again.
It may be like Iraq, where they don't think any action will be taken by the U.S., after our closest allies' Jack Straw basically stated that military action against Iran is off the table.
"...after concessions were made to Russia and China,"
hmmm, wonder what the concessions are?
An early draft of the text:
"If you don't stop what you are doing, we are going to pass a resolution that tells you that we are really really mad!"
