U.N. Sanctions....

The Security Council has imposed three sets of sanctions on Iran, in December 2006, March 2007 and March 2008.

-- The first covered sensitive nuclear materials and froze the assets of Iranian individuals and companies linked with the nuclear program. It gave Iran 60 days to suspend uranium enrichment, a deadline Iran ignored.

-- The second included new arms and financial sanctions. It extended an asset freeze to 28 more groups, companies and individuals engaged in or supporting sensitive nuclear work or development of ballistic missiles, including the state-run Bank Sepah and firms controlled by the Revolutionary Guards.

-- The resolution invoked Chapter 7, Article 41 of the U.N. Charter, making most of its provisions mandatory but excluding military action. Iran again ignored an order to halt enrichment.

-- The third measure increased travel and financial curbs on individuals and companies and made some of them mandatory. It expanded a partial ban on trade in items with both civilian and military uses to cover sales of all such technology to Iran, and added 13 individuals and 12 companies to the list of those suspected of aiding Iran's nuclear and missile programs. In September 2008, the Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution again ordering Iran to halt enrichment, but imposed no more sanctions due to opposition from Russia and China.

McCain the imbecile

I must confess there was a bit of respect I had for McCain due to his improsonment at Hanoi hilton and whatever hardship he had to put up with.  All that respect, however, went out the door when in 2008 he picked that slut - Sarah Palin - as his running mate.  That move proved to me and many others that Mc Cain has simply gotton too old and senility has therefore set in!  It is time for him to disapper from politics altogether.

Likewise,

Likewise, it is time for the voters in Arizona to pull the trigger on McCain and fire him.  One of the very few republicans that I ever had some respect for along with Chuck Hagel and Ron Paul.  I still have lots of respect for the other two, but McCain has lost his head since he was betrayed by GWB and company and never recovered.
