The UN hit Iran with a fourth set of sanctions against the rogue nation to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. President Ahmadinejad reacts with stark horror;
“These resolutions are not worth a dime for the Iranian nation,” he said.
“I gave one of them (world powers) a message that the resolutions you issue are like a used hanky which should be thrown in the dust bin. They are not capable of hurting Iranians.”
Of course, who couldn’t predict that reaction? Four sets of sanctions. And the UN continues along a path of impotent measures and empty gestures. The same kind that haven’t worked anywhere in the world and resulted in the first and second invasions of Saddam’s Iraq.
But the UN has an ace up their sleeve – Bebe Netanyahu. They’re hoping that Israel will deal with Iran and then the UN can stand back in shock at what Israel has done and condemn the Israelis like they’ve done for the last forty years or so.
And Ahmadinejad is giving the Israelis just the provocation they need by volunteering to escort blockade busters to Gaza with the Iranian Navy in the Mediterranean.
The Iranian Navy off it’s coast and Hezbollah rockets from Lebanon ought to motivate the Israelis to do the bidding of the UN. Our State Department is probably drawing up a document full of false outrage as I type this.
It’s a Middle-Eaast version of an ancient Japanese kabuki play. Everyone knows their places and their lines, everything is by rote, with no deviations. Even the audience is familiar with the set-piece and how it will end.
