Iran defies
sanctions
Ahmahandjob laughing at the West
Excerpt:
Britain led calls on Thursday for harsher penalties
to be imposed on Iran, as Tehran defied a compromise
U.N. sanctions resolution to punish it for its
suspected nuclear weapons programme.
The Security Council approved a fourth round of
sanctions in as many years on Wednesday, but Iran said
it would go ahead with uranium enrichment and
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the U.N. resolution
should be thrown "in the waste bin."
The 15-nation council passed a resolution that
was the product of five months of talks between the US, Britain,
France, Germany, China and Russia. With 12 votes
in favor, it received the least support of the four sanctions
resolutions adopted since 2006.
Western diplomats argue it gives the EU, United
States and allies a legal basis to impose their own tougher measures.
Why are we playing with this guy?
Are we going to wait until they detonate a nuclear
bomd?
Then what, we say, "Who could have predicted
they'd have it so fast?"
We've been playing with this madman for four years - while doing nothing.
More on this later in Monkey Mail.
