NYT - Black Market Shows Iran Can Adapt to Sanctions

SANCTIONS WILL NOT WORK.

Hey folks,

One thing you have to give Obama and Crew credit for, there is no shortage of things to talk about. We could talk about how that Doctor Conference was STAGED. How the White House ACTUALLY HANDED OUT WHITE DOCTORS COATS for the group to wear. I'm not kidding. We could talk about how he did NOT name Afghanistan, NOR Iraq, as the places we are fighting Al-Qaeda. We could talk about Obama’s pick for EEOC Commissioner, Chai Feldblum, who is nothing more than a RADICAL Homosexual Advocate who has praised Polygamy and contended that Traditional Marriage should not have privileged status, nor should Religious Liberty come before Sexual Liberty. How about that asinine fact that the Media are doing FACT CHECKS on a comedy skit by Saturday Night Live. How dare they poke fun at Obama. {Laughing} Where were the FACT CHECKS when they picked on Bush? Where was the outrage then? No folks, all that speaks for itself. What I want to talk about is Sanctions, and Iran.

I was listening to CBS News yesterday, yeah I know, but I was. I kept hearing how Congress has had it. Yes folks, they are ANGRY! The Senators are saying "times up Iran." They feel that Iran is crossing a line. Now that the American People KNOW that they have more than one Nuclear site and KNOW that they have all they need to make a bomb today, they {The American People} want to know what Obama and Crew are going to do about it. Well, have no fear, Congress is here. Even if they have to go it alone, I'm not kidding, they actually said that, THEY are tired of waiting. THEY will impose Tough Sanctions on Iran.

But we have already been doing that. I told you two years ago, SANCTIONS WILL NOT WORK. Hell, Ahmadinejad himself has been telling you for two years that SANCTIONS WILL NOT WORK! {Laughing} They HAVEN'T WORKED. "But uh, these, these will be tougher sanctions. Uh, we will brake Iran into submission. They will see the light and give up this Nuclear quest. Uh, we know how to deal with Iran in a peaceful way." WRONG!

Where is it? Yes, here it is. This is by one of the Lefts Holy Grails, the New York Times. This was on Friday. NYT - Black Market Shows Iran Can Adapt to Sanctions By CHARLIE SAVAGE and MARK LANDLER Published: October 4, 2009

WASHINGTON — President Obama has vowed to keep the pressure on Iran over its nuclear program after last week’s meeting in Geneva, and his advisers said the United States was intensively recruiting other nations to join in a harsher economic embargo against Tehran should diplomacy fail.

Black market networks have sprouted up all over the globe to circumvent the sanctions. A typical embargo-busting scheme was detailed in a plea agreement filed in federal court here on Sept. 24, the day before Mr. Obama and European allies announced the existence of a previously undisclosed Iranian nuclear enrichment facility near Qum.


They day after they ANNOUNCED the existence of a previously undisclosed Iranian nuclear enrichment facility near Qum. They already KNEW about it folks. Obama KNEW about it when he decided to do away with the missile defense system in Europe. Think about that.

In the court filings, a Dutch aviation services company and its owner admitted that they had illegally funneled American aircraft and electronics components to Iran from 2005 to 2007. Under the scheme, Iranian customers secretly placed orders with the company, which served as a front, buying the parts and having them shipped to the Netherlands, Cyprus and the United Arab Emirates. The materials were then quietly repackaged and shipped on to the real buyers in Iran.

The Dutch company was eventually caught. But the ease with which it had operated until then illustrates a key hurdle facing the United States: even if diplomatic challenges can be overcome to getting countries with significant economic ties to Iran, like China, to approve sanctions, it is virtually impossible to make an embargo airtight.

“The Iranians have a lot of experience at this point in evading sanctions,” said Michael Jacobson, an intelligence and sanctions specialist at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “They are adaptable, learn from mistakes, see where the United States cracks down and move elsewhere. And on the part of businesses, there is a lot of willful blindness.”


All about money of course. THIS is one of the main reasons that Sanctions will NEVER work. They will get whatever they want WHENEVER they want it.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton acknowledged last week that existing economic sanctions against Iran were “leaky.” But several senior administration officials said the latest revelations of Iran’s secret nuclear efforts had generated unprecedented solidarity behind new measures to pressure Tehran.

BS. Complete BS.

On Thursday, Iranian officials met in Geneva with representatives from the United States and other world powers. At that session, the Iranians pledged to give nuclear inspectors access to its clandestine enrichment facility and to ship most of its openly declared uranium outside the country to be further enriched by France or Russia.

Oh that is so much better. Declared Uranium? What about UNDECLARED? Russia? {Sigh} They have been hiding this whole Site. How many more might they have? This goes on to talk about more Sanctions that even the NYT just admitted will not work. Fuel? Russia. Even perhaps from some HERE in THIS Country. Little Hitler DOES have friends here. They do not NEED anything from us that they can not get from somewhere else. They do NOT WANT anything from us. They are on a quest to get a Nuclear Bomb and USE it to destroy Israel. If they can get two, they will use one on US!

There is only ONE solution folks. Well place bombs from US. Or, as a new friend of mine over at Tom Sullivan Radio Listener's Club said, Let Israel do it, at least they will not, uh, screw, {Smile} it up. She just hopes we have their back when they do it. Me too. I have my doubts, but I hope that Obama and the US Government WOULD support one of our longest and most dedicated Allies. I do not even care if they don't. As long as Israel does it, Obama will not have to worry that he is gutless and he can go on pitching Socialism, Fascism, and attempting to create the Obamanation.

Yes, as long as there are World Leaders out there willing to actually do what they need to do, Obama can have the freedom to be on TV everyday, PLAYING President. Meanwhile in the rest of the World, the grown ups are looking for REAL Solutions.

Wow all that retoric after watching an hour of CBS...Jesu...Jeez!! I wonder how much more bitter feelings you can spew out before you admit "it's only cause he's black."

Hey Benjamin,

{Sigh} You know, normally I would say, Welcome to the OPNTalk Blog. Glad to have you. Or something like that. I would then highlight either your entire comment or portions I would like to discuss, and then post a response. But since you really do not want to discuss FACTS, and REALITY, I really have nothing to say.

Seriously Ben. RACISM? Page one out of the Idiotic Liberal Playbook. Can't win an argument, or an intellectual debate, throw the Race Card out there and hope it sticks. Truth is though, whenever one of you Libs out there do this, it just goes to show YOUR mentality. Then there is no longer a point to attempting to have an intelligent conversation.
