Um, Wow. Two weeks ago, the Russians sounded like they were on board with sanctions. Now? Doesn't look as good at least based on Secretary of State Clinton's meetings with key Russian leaders this week.

Oh, what a surprise! The Russians were what? Telling us lies? No one saw that one coming.

Word is Norway is thinking about taking back Obie's peace Prize over this one.

Iran is Russia's neighbor and a huge trading partner
It would take a lot for Russia to cut trade ties with Iran

Likewise China
China gets much of her oil from Iran

Why should either nation suffer economically in order to maintain Israel's Middle Eastern nuclear monopoly ??

I am shocked. Ole Chucky said this was in the bag a couple weeks ago. A new day in diplomacy blah blah blah

This is exactly why H. Clinton wasn't elected POTUS and why she shouldn't have been chosen as S of S. She just can't deal with anything that takes finesse.

Obama is naive and gullible. Just like all his cult-followers that hang on his every word and actually believe what he says even after all the broken promises.

I hope that they are speaking the truth on this one and sign on to further sanctions. Iran needs to do a lot to show that they can be trusted with any kind of nuclear program. I can't wait for all of these projects to "have some catastrophic problem" and be a disaster for the world.
