Breaking: US sanctions Islamic Revolutionary Guards
The BBC is reporting that the US has imposed sanctions on Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards in a bid to get Iran to drop its nuclear weapons program (Hat Tip: Will).The US Treasury has imposed sanctions against companies connected with the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards.I think this is what they call 'targeted sanctions.' But it sounds like Chinese water torture. It'll take forever for all these dribs and drabs of sanctions to add up to something significant. What could go wrong?
The action extends earlier sanctions against the Guards and its construction company headquarters, Reuters reported.
It aims to freeze the foreign assets of four companies connected to Khatam al-Anbiya Construction, and its chief officer.
The company's profits help fund Iran's nuclear and missile programmes, the US Treasury said.

I liken this to the years leading up to Shoah. All the signals were there and no one did anything. The powers that be just let it happen...Even... when the smell of human flesh burning through the smoke stacks of the camps filling the air.... and the allies did nothing. They wouldn't even bomb the rail lines to Auschwitz.
Has anything changed? What could go wrong?
Iran has been allowed to get away with this for years long! Make no mistake this accident upon humanity has been waiting to happen and did not develop yesterday! As we possibly stand on the abyss the now present toothless, apologetic sissy,Carteresque excuse for a president is surely no match.
Honestly, I don't think there is another lap/watch to throw this on. We are literally out of time.
4 whole companies at ONE time!!!
Wow, Obama MUST be PISSED!
He must have stayed in a Holiday Inn last night...
