UNITED NATIONS (CNN) -- The 15-member U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Saturday to impose new sanctions on Iran because of its refusal to suspend its uranium enrichment program.

The acting U.S. representative to the United Nations, Alejandro D. Wolff, said after the vote:

"While we hope that Iran complies with this resolution ... the United States is fully prepared to take additional measures in 60 days should Iran choose another course." He didn't elaborate.

We, after all, have used them.

8. hmm

9. $10 per gallon, once they mine the Straight.

But of course that is nothing compared to the personal and ecological damage that would happen if there were war.

I can think of nothing more stupid. But we live in up side down world now. I'm prepared for anything. Hey, we want oil.

10. Obviously Britain didn't get the message.

"We have Goldwasser and Regev ... er ... some British troops. That makes us look important, increases our prestige among those we'd otherwise have to kill, and leaves you with no option but to do what we want."

11. If we had a Congress they would cut all funds so that * cannot strike Iran.

This is the work of Condoho. The UN should sanction Bush.

What a joke they are!

If I were Iran, I would want to be fully armed for the BushInvasion.

12. "further action"...

I think we all know what that means... :grr:

This is deja-fucking-vu! We have to stop these criminals...What can we do?
