UN Security Council
Readies Lame, Toothless Sanctions on Iran,
but Tehran is Still Building the Bomb:
God help us all.

Boykin to speak at 2010 Epicenter
Conference.
By

(Washington,
D.C., May 19, 2010) -- One day after Iran
and Turkey announced an agreement in the
hopes of thwarting any international
economic sanctions against Iran, U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced
a 10-page resolution with new sanctions had
just been agreed to by the five permanent
members of the U.N. Security Council (the
U.S., Russia, U.K., France, and China), plus
Germany. That's the good news: the world's
major powers didn't completely cave into the
Iranian regime's latest round of deception
and trickery.
The bad news: the world's major powers have
mostly caved. The resolution abandons any
hope for the "crippling sanctions" President
Obama and Secretary Clinton once vowed to
impose. Instead, we're about to see another
round of lame, toothless sanctions even as
Tehran continues building the Bomb, prepares
to annihilate the U.S. and Israel, and
prepares for the arrival of the Twelfth Imam
and the end of the world.
"This policy is unlikely to succeed," said
former U.N. weapons inspector David Kay at a
panel discussion in Washington, reported AP.
"The real question is what if sanctions
fail? What are we to do?"
AP also reported that "Richard Perle, a
former Pentagon official, said he doubted
sanctions would be effective in stopping
Iran and recommended the U.S. back the
Iranian opposition as a way of pressing
regime change."
War is coming and once again the U.N.
Security Council is doing precious little to
stop it. God help us all.
