Ahmadinejad Thumbs His Nose at Sanctions

I wish the title of this pot could have been "Ahmadinejad wets his pants in fear of sanctions." Of course, the opposite is true. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is disdainful of Obama and his attempts to tighten sanctions. Accordong to the Iranian state press, He said,

“They know they cannot do a damn thing with sanctions.”

The sanctions are a minor inconvenience at best. The only sanction that would really bite would be an oil sale embargo. That would hurt the West as much as Iran and drive up oil prices. Don't expect anyone to suggest this during the current worldwide economic meltdown.

The Hill reported:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lashed out over the weekend in the wake of Obama signing congressional sanctions into law.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lashed out over the weekend in the wake of President Barack Obama signing into law last week the toughest-ever sanctions to come out of Congress.

“Bullying powers know that no room will remain for them in the world if the Iranian nation mounts its efforts,” Ahmadinejad said, according to the government-owned Press TV. “They know they cannot do a damn thing with sanctions.”
