Iran calls for UN sanctions against U.S.

Tehran Times Political Desk

TEHRAN – Supreme National Security Council Secretary Saeed Jalili has urged the UN Security Council to impose sanctions on the U.S. for developing nuclear weapons.

“The Security Council must issue sanctions resolution against the U.S. which has a long record in proliferation and use of nuclear weapons,” Jalili told Japan's NHK television aired on Friday.

Iran’s top nuclear negotiator accused the United States of violating international law by using nuclear weapons against Japan, building nuclear arsenals, and proliferating atomic arms.

“According to the Article VI of the Non-Proliferation Treaty which calls for nuclear disarmament, the United States must report to the International Atomic Energy Agency on how it has obeyed international law on nuclear arms,” Jalili stated.

“Today the U.S. does not have a good image in the world. The United States is the only country which has used this inhumane weapon against innocent people… the Japanese people will surly never forget the U.S. crimes.

1. He has the right idea, but the wrong execution.

He should have them sanction us for the Nukes for Mangoes Deal we're making with India.

[walldude]

2. Shit are we really doing that? Nukes for Mangos?

Geeze now I have to go to Google. Goddamn DU'ers always making me do research. :toast:

Goddammit.. How on earth do we justify not "allowing" Iran to get nukes?

4. It's worse than that.

Part of the deal is that we'll "fix" India's drug regulating authority to make the "equal" to our own FDA so we can import drugs from them.

Ascared yet?

It gets worse.

Bush was also working a deal to force medicare/medicaid patients into "medical outsourcing" to receive necessary surgeries in India.

Mangoes!

YUMM!

5. You know I always feel a bit guilty about wanting to leave

the country, then I hear about shit like this and I wonder why I am staying.

6. Why don't you go to India? That way, you can visit all your old American friends in the hospital.n/t

10. The US is trying

to close the barn door after the horses got out. We allowed proliferation for political and financial concerns in the past and we need to find a way to make the recipients look powerful and responsible enough to have developed their own tech without our help or lack of accountability in the first place.

3. And nobody's forgotten Japan's against the world, or Germany's... Amabigassfool, just how far back

do you want to go? Never mind it is YOU who has been the aggressive one; otherwise the UN wouldn't have socked it to you with heavier sanctions!

[rockymountaindem]

7. Don't bring that up

People around here only want to hear about how hypocritical the US is. Any challenge people issue to Bush is ipso facto correct :sarcasm:

[razors edge]

9. I think you would need to go back

a couple hundred years to find an example of Iran invading another country.

How exactly is Iran's rhetoric considered aggressive in comparison to the actions of the US and our ally?

11. He's just trying to distract us from the war Bush is trying to start in Venezuela. n/t

12. The Pentagon will just

change the ingredients in the paraquat a little, start delivering it from B-52s, and claim they flew off course by accident.
