Obama wants to implement tough new sanctions against Iran. Well, if this is his idea of “tough”, I suspect he may have lost more than one battle to the perforations on a roll of toilet paper.
Can’t stop being Mahmoud’s bitch
Seriously, the best he could do is “we won’t sell them gasoline”? That’s not going to affect anything, since all the cars over there are made out of logs, have stone wheels, no floorboards, and are foot-propelled. It’d be more effective to stop selling them shoes.
And there’s no point in trying to negotiate with them, either. You make a statement like “we’re concerned that you might use your nuclear program to insta-glass Tel Aviv” and they just reply with random stupid nonsense like “the Holocaust never happened”. It’s like having a conversation with an iPod Shuffle.
Besides, how will our negotiators be able to make themselves heard over the crowd of American reporters flocking around Ahmadinejad, pestering him with “Can I have your autograph Mr. Starr? You’re my second-favorite living Beatle!”
History shows that sanctions & negotiations have all the long-term effectiveness of a U2 musical fund-raising concert. If we want to destroy the Iranian regime once and for all, we need a SERIOUS strategy.
I recommend something involving a fur coat, a hooker-looking white girl, and a secret videotape.
Scoff if you want, but consider this: ACORN is now such a pariah that the IRS refuses to associate with them for fear of becoming less popular, and the IRS recently lost a popularity contest to an untreatable, pus-crusted, blistery, genital rash.
If you’ve got a better idea for getting a choke-chain around Iran’s neck, I’m all ears.
the IRS refuses to associate with them
LOL, the article kept referring to african-American taxpayers paying for acorn. Like african-Americans pay taxes. Americans pay taxes, the ones that call themselves african-American are just a bunch of welfare freeloaders.
We know how well sanctions worked with Iraq, and somalia, and cube-ah, yet, present “olympic” hussein thinks they will work in a 4th world country dead set on destroying the west? I knew the guy was a twit and a puppet, but I didn’t realize even soros is this stupid.
Santions may work on france though, they are at least 3rd world country.
* Force their leaders to listen to Hillary Clinton speaking to a Southern black church.
Expecting a better Iran strategy out of Obama is like wishing the train wreck you’re already in didn’t happen. It’s all over except the nuclear fat lady hasn’t sung yet. Funny, Harvey.
We will use a two prong attack of hugs and rainbows to cow our enemies into submission.
If Iran keeps it up they will suffer the ultimate Obama humiliation! A double dog dare you along with a letter of deep disappointment…double spaced of course!
Cut their eyelids out and have them watch Brokeback Mountain until they cave. The first kiss and they would collapse.
All that we’re saying, is Give Regime Change a Chance.
We’ll start ours in 2010.

Sanctions only work in situations where the people, when suffering the deprivations caused by the sanctions, can put pressure on their government to end their suffering. Or if the sanctions actually affect those at the top.
In places like Iran or North Korea, those in power are the last ones in the country who will suffer any shortages from sanctions. And while their people may suffer, those same people have no power to demand any change of policy.
Iran strategery? Hell, this guy can’t even figure out Afghanicantstandit. But let’s win the 2016 Olympics fo Chicago mofo’s – and Oprah! Just think of the million$, nay, billion$.
Hell – send the cardboard cutout of Obama over to negotiate – at least he won’t be able to say anything dumb or give anything away…..
– – – Or we could get Hillary to FEDEX over a few nuclear reactors to Iran like her hubby did for North Korea – that seemed to help the situation in Asia a lot……….
(we could even send them COD….just to show our displeasure)
We shouldn’t confuse sanctions with embargos or blockades. Sanctions are basically talk until methods are selected and used. Well it has been all talk for years.
Sanctions can have an effect, but only if Russia and China and the EU will be serious about them and end almost all trade. There is no reason to think the Russians will. And the Chinese almost certainly will not. But more surprising things have happened – the Mets in 1969 maybe.
Strict embargos would not cripple Iran but they would greatly increase the cost of everything they manage to import, and at the same time reduce their inflow of foreign currency to pay for them. Their buddies such as Chavez in Venezuela would continue to supply some material to them. It is doubtful if regime change would follow, as #9 says it is very hard to overthrow ruthless rulers.
C’mon. Why are you so hard on the guy? Obama himself said these were “sanctions that bite”.
Obama One Q’Daffy really has a plan, that doesn’t include sanctions. Obama secures the Olympic bid – immediately turns around and bestows it on Iran. They’ll be so busy working on that, there won’t be manpower ( or $$$) for anything else. And the debt, will go on & on & on.
Wait, I thought that Iran, North Korea and Venezuela were tiny countries that posed no serious threat?
Out of curiosity, has Charles Kraphammer used the words “cool”, “elegant” or “presidential” to describe this idiot lately, as he did continuously throughout the entire presidential campaign, in between slamming Sarah Palin? Yeah, I thought not.
Son of Bob, I would think mkhammer would take offense at that particular combination: Krap + hammer. BTW Frank, you need to invite MK Ham in as an occasional guest blogger – and Rachl Lukis too since she’s not writing anything on her own blog these days.
Punish Iran? How about a Barbara Streisand concert. President Obummer could be the master of ceremonies.
“ACORN is now such a pariah that the IRS refuses to associate with them”
I think it’s safe to say the majority of the people ACORN “helps” are on the tax leaching, not paying end of the
spectrum so I don’t see why there was an association to begin with….was ACORN trying to cut out the middle man?
Come on, gang:Zero has ONE offensive option:
He COULD target Iran with the Weapon of Mass Ass Destruction, also known as the Final Pantsuit Option.
Once Hillary is on site and starts whining. . . .well. we’re adults. but it’s still not pretty to contemplate. . .
Harvey that photo of the BFFs is hilarious
How to make Iran behave? A one-way ticket to Folsom Street Fair in San Fransicko….to watch Nazi Peelousy & Rosie O’Donnell making out.
(#8 that is srsly brilliant work that needs to go viral; esp. the last one)
hey Jupiter, how about this…
ACORN: Atheist Commies Obama Recruits for N.w.o.
…btw new to the site! Love it, Frank J. Keep it going.
Excellent job JupiterSuite and like the renowned Governor Lepetomane you deserve a harrumph, so….Hurrumph!!
My suggestion is to find ALL of those involved in “The Chicago Incident” (you know where they beat the kid to death) and send them into Iran. The thugs will be so incensed to know they can’t find a HIp-Hop station or channel, fast food or slutty chicks they’ll go on a rampage within about 60 minutes of landing at the airport.
Of course the collateral damage may be extensive………….but “you can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs, any cook will tell you that”-Colonel Mustard “Clue”
Harvey:
This time you have gone too far! I fear that your casual use of the term “insta-glass” will bring you under attack from a Knoxville lawyer. It was nice knowing you.
Burt – I’m not worried. My puppy has a concealed-carry permit.
