WASHINGTON — "A recent decision by German officials to withhold support for any new sanctions against Iran has pushed a broad spectrum of officials in Washington to develop potential scenarios for a military attack on the Islamic regime, FOX News confirmed Tuesday.
Germany — a pivotal player among three European nations to rein in Iran's nuclear program over the last two-and-a-half years through a mixture of diplomacy and sanctions supported by the United States — notified its allies last week that the government of Chancellor Angela Merkel refuses to support the imposition of any further sanctions against Iran that could be imposed by the U.N. Security Council.
The announcement was made at a meeting in Berlin that brought German officials together with Iran desk officers from the five member states of the Security Council. It stunned the room, according to one of several Bush administration and foreign government sources who spoke to FOX News, and left most Bush administration principals concluding that sanctions are dead.
The Germans voiced concern about the damaging effects any further sanctions on Iran would have on the German economy.."
This of course leads one to wonder the damage to the economy a nuclear missile landing in the center of Berlin would cause, but I guess Merkel knows best. But if she thinks bombing Iran back to the stone age...strike that, they never left it...is preferable to squeezing these jackanapes via sanctions, I'd beg to differ. We bomb 'em and bankrupt countries such as Germany are going to feel the pinch to a fair thee well. Not that I'm not ALL FOR nuking Ahmadimeadozen until he cries uncle, but it'd be nice to have allies willing to pitch in. Then again, this IS the U.ntidy N.itwits we're speaking of, and to date they haven't done anything for the betterment of mankind and don't appear to be willing to even try anytime soon.
As a backup plan, I myself would advise the Pentagon to at least look into sending Code Pink to Iran for some serious diplomatic sitdowns. Just to get them OUT of his country, Ahmadimeadozen might very well capitulate, and pronto.
