So the issue is not when the
so-called sanctions will come (President Obama promised them in "weeks" today)
but whether they will even "nibble." And while the Obama administration was
more than willing to use every parliamentary trick in the book to ram its
government health care takeover through Congress, conversely, it has worked
hard to stall bipartisan efforts to pass the Iran Sanctions Act.
Now that President Obama has announced he wants the new UN
Iran sanctions "within
weeks," it may be a moot point. Congress is likely to take at least that
long to get a conference together, much less pass the result of the conference
through both chambers again.
Nevertheless, glad to know The Cable is making it all the way to Alaska! (or at least to Palin's
Washington foreign policy advisors).
Josh,
Please don't degrade your otherwise fine blog site with Sarah Palin's name. The only cable that Palin knows is cable television.

Readers of The Cable have no interest in what Palin says about foreign affairs because it will always be incomprehensible babble.
Josh Rogin reports on national security and foreign policy from the Pentagon to Foggy Bottom, the White House to Embassy Row, for The Cable.
