#2 No - remember that for the Failed/Angry Left the WOT is about PC forcing "justified" Socialism and OWG on America, and doing so while avoid nuke war which destroys all sides; or at minimum prevents /obstructs the evolutionary progress of Socialism If America does not submit to SOcialism, the Lefties reserve their unilat and unconditional right to resort to de facto MAD nuke war. i.e. THEY'LL TAKE THE WORLD WITH THEM TO HELL. The Left is working to induce Washington, aka the Fed, to engage in SOcilaist-style domestic expansion while also "justifying" America's loss of sobereignty and control on endowments - they like Iran and North Korea-Taiwan because it means geopol confrontation.

#3 Asked what steps the U.S. might take if UNSC action proved ineffective, Rice was elusive, but did note that the U.S. arsenal included a large number of comfy chairs. What might follow those is anyone's guess.

#5 How many times do we have to say it?

You arent going to get sanctions with China and Russia holding veto power in the SC.

End of story.

#8 If our administration has a pulse, they will highlight Russia and China's intervention on Iran's behalf in this glaring crisis. We need to connect the dots for Putin about Beslan and Russia's continued assistance of terrorism sponsors. China should be quietly notified about how ill-advised it is to allow their petroleum supplies to depend upon a nation that is inviting destruction.

#9 We should move quickly before other powers make up their minds and form military compacts with the mullahs.
