"US tries to bolster backing for tough Iran stance; Is hopeful China will OK sanctions" by Robert Burns, Associated Press | February 15, 2010
DOHA, Qatar - US officials sought to shore up support for a tougher stand against Iran’s nuclear program yesterday by saying Tehran had left the world little choice and expressing renewed confidence that holdout China would come around to harsher UN penalties.
Wouldn't it be nice to live in a world of drunken delusion, readers?
Even as the Obama administration intensifies its diplomacy, Iran is showing little sign of bending to the will of its critics. Past UN sanctions have had little effect. Some outside analysts have detected what they believe are new slowdowns in Iran’s nuclear advances, but the Islamic republic is believed headed toward having nuclear weapons capability in perhaps a few years.
Sigh. What is wrong with the AmeriKan MSM?! REPEATING LIE after LIE!
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, on a quick visit to Persian Gulf allies Qatar and Saudi Arabia, told a forum on US-Muslim relations that Iran has not lived up to its nuclear obligations and has rebuffed US and international efforts to engage in serious talks. She said Iran has a right to nuclear power, but only if shown unequivocally that it is to be used just for peaceful purposes.
There are NO BUTS, lady, except your fat, gas-producing ass!
Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, meeting with officials in Tel Aviv yesterday, called for more time for diplomatic pressure to work.

Why the lies on that one, MSM?
And what a SLAVE for ISRAEL, 'eh, America?
Nice to know who the Joint Chief is working for, huh?
Israel, which views Iran’s nuclear program as a threat to its existence, has hinted that it might attack if negotiations to contain Tehran’s ambitions failed.

And we will be right there to back Israel up.
Why do you think Obama surged into Afghanistan?
While diplomatic patience has its limits, “we’re not there yet,’’ Mullen said. He said a military strike would have repercussions throughout the Middle East.
Earlier yesterday, in Cairo, Mullen accused Tehran of spreading its radical influence in Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, and Iraq.
Did he swallow for Israel, too, or.... ?
Saudi Arabia and Qatar, both situated across the Persian Gulf from Iran, are seen by the Obama administration as an important part of a regional effort to persuade the Iranians that it is in their economic interest to give up their uranium enrichment program as called for in a series of UN resolutions that Iran has ignored. Although Iran insists it has no desire to get the bomb, Clinton said it appears otherwise.
“The evidence is accumulating that that is exactly what they are trying to do,’’ she said during a question-and-answer session with her audience at the US-Islamic World Forum, attended by officials and scholars from around the world.
Where, other than forgeries and lies from Israel?
She also used pointed language in stressing that after months of failed efforts aimed at direct talks with Iran, tougher action is required.
In her speech, Clinton said the United States and others were working on “new measures’’ to try to persuade Iran to change its course.
She added, “I would like to figure out a way to handle it in as peaceful an approach as possible, and I certainly welcome any meaningful engagement, but we don’t want to be engaging while they are building their bomb.’’
I don't like listening to a drunk person run off at the mouth, do you?

And she slurred it as she said it, a sure sign of being shit-faced!
President Obama has said that work to broaden economic sanctions in the UN Security Council is moving along quickly, but he hasn’t given a specific timeline. China, one of five permanent members of the Security Council, has close economic ties to Iran and can block a resolution by itself.
“We have the support of everyone from Russia to Europe. And I believe we’ll get the support of China to continue to impose sanctions on Iran to isolate them, to make it clear that in fact they cannot move forward,’’ Vice President Joe Biden told NBC’s “Meet the Press’’ from Canada, where he was attending the Olympics.
Sigh.
“We need to work on China a little bit more,’’ added Obama’s national security adviser, James Jones. “But China wants to be seen as a responsible global influence in this. On this issue, they can’t, they cannot be nonsupportive,’’ he told “Fox News Sunday.’’
Clinton struck a similar tone, saying in Doha that “the weight is maybe beginning to move’’ toward China supporting sanctions.
Did she say that with fingers crossed behind her back?
Clinton’s stops in Qatar and in Saudi Arabia coincided with a string of diplomatic and military contacts in the Middle East, including Mullen’s visits to Egypt and Israel.
Translation: They are getting their marching orders from the Israeli master and relaying the information to our stooge Arab governments.
Her top three deputies - James Steinberg, Jacob Lew, and William Burns - were expected in the region in coming days. So was General David Petraeus, chief of US Central Command with responsibility for US military operations across the Middle East.
Translation: WAR is COMING SOON!!!!
Their agenda is not focused exclusively on Iran.
Yeah, sure.
There also is an American push for closer cooperation in Yemen against Al Qaeda, a move toward bolstering diplomatic relations with Syria, and efforts to get Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations back on track....
Oh, yeah, when was the last time you saw a word about Yemen?
As for the rest, who cares about the cover story provided by the MSM?

And after a couple of slugs of booze:
"Iran may be nearing coup, Clinton warns; Says power of Revolutionary Guard growing; Secretary meets with Saudis" by Glenn Kessler, Washington Post | February 16, 2010
DOHA, Qatar - Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said yesterday the United States fears Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has gained enough power to potentially supplant the Tehran government.
Seriously, make her blow into the tube!
The guard’s influence is extensive and expanding, Clinton told Arab students at Carnegie Mellon’s Doha campus, and it reaches beyond the political realm into key facets of Iran’s economy. Clinton’s comments were more detailed than previous administration statements.
Officials have said they planned to target new sanctions on the guard, which is heavily involved in Tehran’s nuclear and missile programs, because such tactics would harm the country’s political elite - sparing many ordinary Iranians, at least in theory....
Related: Iran is Paranoid
Yeah, in "theory."
Clinton strongly asserted that the United States would defend Persian Gulf allies from Iranian aggression, in what appeared to be an echo of her controversial proposal for a defense umbrella for the region.
What aggression? They haven't attacked anyone in 2000 years?
“We will always defend ourselves, and we always will defend our friends and allies, and we will certainly defend countries in the gulf who face the greatest, immediate nearby threat from Iran,’’ she said.
Actually, it is you and USrael, b****!
She said the Obama administration believes the Revolutionary Guard is supplanting the government of Iran. “That is how we see it. We see that the government of Iran, the supreme leader, the president, the parliament is being supplanted and that Iran is moving toward a military dictatorship,’’ said Clinton, who arrived Sunday in Qatar, where she spoke at the US-Islamic World Forum.
Well, when you are looking through a Zionist prism of propaganda, yeah, you are going to see it that way.
Clinton flew to Riyadh, the Saudi capital, where Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al Faisal seemed to express doubt about the usefulness of seeking more United Nations sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program.
Saudi plays down oil incentive for China on Iran sanctions
"Clinton got a not too nice geopolitical punch in the face from Saudi Foreign Minster Saud al-Faisal, and rightly so. It was a stupid tactic to attempt, publicly, with such a lot at stake. Whatever credibility she had before this charlie foxtrot is gone for her now in the international stage, and she can never, ever regain it." -- Wake the Flock Up
If she had any let it's gone now.
In a joint appearance with Clinton, he said the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions demands a more immediate solution. The Saudi foreign minister did not specify a short-term resolution.
“Sanctions are a long-term solution. But we see the issue in the shorter term because we are closer to the threat,’’ he said.
US officials said privately that they were unsure of Faisal’s meaning and that they were certain Saudi Arabia was not opposed to new sanctions. They said the Saudis have some doubt that sanctions can be effective. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in order to describe diplomatically sensitive conversations with the Saudi leadership.
Did WaPo butcher what was said or what?
Pfffft!
Clinton was driven in King Abdullah’s private bus about 65 miles northeast to Rawdat Khurayim, a secluded royal hunting retreat where the vacationing king hosted her for lunch.
I love that as people are starving all over the planet and the globalist scum complain about carbon footprints.
Pfffffft!
They later met privately in his elaborately appointed tent, which includes five crystal chandeliers in the reception room. Clinton was also scheduled to fly to Jeddah on the Red Sea coast.
As she flew to Saudi Arabia, Clinton expanded on her Iran remarks....
She said in the speech that the administration “is still open to engagement’’ with the Islamic Republic but “would not stand idly by’’ if Iran seeks to develop a nuclear weapon.
Well, GOOD THING THEY ARE NOT then, huh?
The Revolutionary Guard has long been a pillar of Iran’s regime as a force separate from the ordinary armed forces. In addition, the guard has received at least $6 billion worth of government contracts in two years, according to state-run media, but the total is probably much higher because many contracts are not disclosed.
Oh, sort of like a BLACKWATER, huh?
Working through its private-sector arm, the group operates Tehran’s international airport, builds the nation’s highways, and constructs communications systems.
Yup, IRAN has WAR-LOOTERS, too, huh?
It also manages Iran’s weapons-manufacturing business, including its missile program. It also has absorbed the paramilitary Basij as a full-fledged part of its command structure.
The guard also has been building a network of underground tunnels to conceal and protect Iran’s military and nuclear programs, according to senior US officials.
The US Treasury Department last week slapped sanctions on four construction-related companies believed to serve as fronts for the business interests of the guard. The administration also is developing sanctions against the guard for the UN Security Council.
A semiofficial news agency quoted the head of Iran’s nuclear program yesterday as saying the country received a new proposal from the United States, Russia, and France, three of the countries trying to rein in Tehran’s uranium enrichment program.
Iran said that it was studying the joint proposal purportedly made after the country announced last week it had begun enriching uranium to a higher level than previously acknowledged.
--more--"
BEIRUT - Iran’s foreign minister yesterday rejected Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s charge that the country is becoming a military dictatorship, calling it a “trick’’ aimed at influencing other Persian Gulf nations.
Iran regrets that Clinton is “seeking to divert public opinion in the region,’’ Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said yesterday, according to the official Islamic Republic News Agency.
“We see these methods as a new trick although its nature is clear to the people and authorities in the region and it will have no effect.’’
In a discussion with students in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, yesterday, Clinton said “evidence is building’’ that Iran wants nuclear technology to build weapons. Iran’s government says its nuclear program is intended for peaceful purposes.
President Obama is demanding tougher United Nations sanctions against Iran to persuade the regime to cease uranium enrichment, which the United States says is part of a plan to acquire nuclear weapons. Clinton is on a three-day tour of the Persian Gulf to seek support sanctions....
In a joint statement yesterday, Russia, the United States, and France urged Iran to stop enriching uranium to higher levels and suggested the project reinforces suspicions that Tehran is seeking to make nuclear weapons. The statement, made public yesterday, reflects unified Russian and Western opposition to Iran’s increased enrichment....
When the Russians actually vote for sanctions then I'll believe it.
I sure as hell am not believing the lying war media of AmeriKa.
Officials at the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency said they had no comment.

"Iran marks revolution with crackdown on protests" by Nasser Karimi and Brian Murphy, Associated Press Writers | February 11, 2010
TEHRAN, Iran --The Iranian security forces unleashed a crushing sweep against opposition protesters on Thursday....
The massive show of force appeared to give authorities the upper hand on the most important day of the Iranian political calendar. The state-backed rally dwarfed anti-government gatherings, which were far smaller than other outpourings of dissent in recent months.
That option in Iran has FAILED, thus we get the BELLIGERENCE and THREATS from Ms. Hitlery!
Police clashed with anti-government protesters in several sites around Tehran, firing tear gas to disperse them and paintballs to mark them for arrest. Gangs of hard-liners also attacked senior opposition figures -- including the wife of the head of the reform movement.
Still, the day's events showed that authorities must rely on full-scale pressures to keep a lid on demonstrations, and any breathing room may be limited. Opposition supporters are certain to regroup and look for weak spots in the ruling system....
Many opposition groups are denouncing the entire Islamic system.
That's why they are losing support.
This is what deeply worried authorities preparing for Thursday's 31st anniversary of the Islamic state. Any significant protests or clashes would be seen as major embarrassment on a day intended to showcase national achievements and unity.
An array of riot police, undercover security agents and hard-line militiamen fanned out across Tehran....
Security forces were seen in nearly every neighborhood. They had one primary goal: to keep protesters from gaining momentum....
Good think that never happens at AmeriKan prote.... never mind, Iranians.
Opposition Web sites spoke of groups of protesters in the hundreds -- compared with much larger crowds in past demonstrations.
One protester told The Associated Press she tried to join the opposition demonstrators but soon left in disappointment because they were overwhelmed by pro-government marchers.
"There were 300 of us, maximum 500. Against 10,000 people," she told an AP reporter outside Iran....

The report said Middle East governments are increasing efforts to stifle free information through the Internet, especially monitoring and harassing bloggers.
