OBAMA TO A'JAD: ATOMIC ASSIST

Quote:BUOYED by their modest electoral success last month, critics of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's provocative foreign policy were preparing to launch a series of attacks on him in the Islamic Majlis, Iran's ersatz parliament. But then Ahmadinejad got an unexpected boost from Barack Obama.

Ali Larijani, Iran's former nuclear negotiator and now a Majlis member, was arguing that the Islamic Republic would pay a heavy price for Ahmadinejad's rejection of three UN Security Council resolutions on nukes. Then the likely Democratic presidential nominee stepped in.

Way to go! Barack Who-Sane Obama!

So I'm confused. How does not having the UN resolutions as a precondition dismiss the UN resolutions? I'm sure Obama intends for them to be carried out. I don't think they'll be used as bargaining chips.

Quote:"Talking without preconditions" would require America to ignore three unanimous Security Council resolutions. Before starting his unconditional talks, would Obama present a new resolution at the Security Council to cancel the three that Ahmadinejad doesn't like? Or would the new US president act in defiance of the United Nations - further weakening the Security Council's authority?

I looked at the three UN resolutions online (just google UN Security Council and you'll find them fairly easily). I couldn't find any wording that said that no country shall have diplomatic relations until Iran abides by the UN resolutions. I saw no arms trading and no banking for anything other than development and humanitarian interests, but no hindrance of diplomacy until the resolutions are met. I don't see how diplomacy would require America "to ignore the three unanimous Security Council resolutions."

Apparently the UN is sending an investigator to the US to study whether the US has institutionalized racism. Hmm, I wonder what the findings are gonna say.

no doubt reaping the benefits of their puppet state in Hamas ran Gaza, and their active campaigning via phonebanks and the internet for Obama. Plus all the $185 donations they have been sending.
