ObamaNation strikes again. Change you can believe in. This should be the final straw for Israel. Report: U.S. to block Iran sanctions at G8 summit By Shlomo Shamir, Haaretz Correspondent The United States is opposed to enacting a new set of financial sanctions against Iran that are due to be discussed in the G8 summit next week, diplomatic officials in New York reported Friday. According to officials, sanctions against Iran are expected to top the G8's agenda. Sources are also predicting a pointed debate between the heads of the industrialized nations over an appropriate response to Iranian authorities' suppression of reformist demonstrations in Iran led by Mir Hossein Mousavi and other Iranian opposition leaders. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi hinted in a newspaper interview earlier in the week that the G8 is due to decide on new financial sanctions against the Islamic Republic. Berlusconi disclosed that he had spoken with the heads of the G8 nations and has discussed such steps with them. Advertisement According to the Italian prime minister, "the general leaning [among G8 leaders] is toward sanctions." However, diplomatic sources in New York reported that American officials are working behind the scenes to prevent new sanctions from being imposed against Iran. U.S. officials claimed that a tough stance toward Iran could backfire, bringing about an opposite outcome to that desired by those who support such measures. The Obama administration, according to the diplomatic sources, has discarded the notion of direct talks with Iran. However, the United States is still interested in re-engaging Iran through the renewed discussion of its nuclear program through the six permanent United Nations Security Council members. American officials expressed concern that a decision to enact harsh steps against Iran during the G8 meeting could badly hurt the prospect of Tehran agreeing to renew negotiations with the permanent Security Council members. In addition to U.S. reluctance to enact fresh sanctions, G8 members Russia and China have been known to oppose any punitive steps against Tehran. The Security Council has already imposed several rounds of sanctions against Iran, including a weapons embargo and a ban on supplying Iran any materials which could be used to advance its disputed nuclear program. New sanctions could include forbidding western oil companies from maintaining commercial ties with Iran. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1097644.html |

Wil, I was totally shocked and angered when I read this. You are right, this should be the straw that broke the camels back for Israel. Obama ...there are no words to express what I feel for this man. I am constantly in a prayer of forgiveness for my anger for this man. He is evil...plain and simple. Sorry, I had to vent. And if someone is here monitoring...please stay out of my email! lol Hope I didn't offend anyone and if so I am very sorry. |

I can certainly empathize, Cindy, believe me! It sickens me that my country signed its own death warrant by electing a man who's going to destroy it. |

Thank you Quiet Watcher. I was going to I don't know how many avatar sites and I especially love lighthouses and when I saw this one I had to get it. Kathy, thanks for understanding. I am not sure how we ever came to this place but since Obama has taken office things seem to be changing (for the worse) at warp speed. I keep saying all day anymore it seems is for God to have mercy on our nation. Scary days are ahead for sure. |

Yes, and death and destruction looms ahead for our nation. All we can do, now, is pray that God will evacuate us to safety first. |

I no longer pray for mercy on this nation. I pray that God will protect His own when judgment strikes. How can one pray for mercy on a country when they refuse to repent and continue murdering babies, promoting homosexuality, taking God out of schools and public offices, ignoring God's word completely and turning their backs on Israel God's chosen land? |
