White House refuses to explain delay in Iran sanctions
OBAMA set the rules to the deal...and now he won't live by them...
"Iran has twice defied United Nations resolutions and tested ballistic missiles since reaching a separate landmark deal with six world powers, led by the U.S., to rein in its nuclear weapons program."
- Not immediately punishing them for violating the 'deal' only proved to Iran, much like Obama's 'Red Line' taught the world, that Obama is ALL TALK.
"A White House spokesman on Monday declined to say why the Obama administration changed course and decided to delay sanctioning Iran for its illegal ballistic missile tests, but also rejected the idea that the sanctions were delayed because of pressure from Tehran."
"Ultimately we will impose those financial penalties, we'll impose those sanctions, at a time and place of our choosing, when our experts believe that they will have maximum impact," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on Monday. "And those decisions are not subject to negotiation by the Iranians — or anybody else for that matter."

Iran calls Obama's bluff
Iran calls Obama's bluff
"Since signing a nuclear deal with the Obama administration last summer, Iran's theocratic regime has twice been caught testing ballistic missiles, in one case firing them near a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf. This is a black-and-white violation of the nuclear deal and it carries a prescribed consequence in the form of new punitive sanctions.
In fact, when Congress considered whether to block the deal or allow it to proceed, many nervous Democrats were persuaded by this provision and others like it.
Yet now that the Iranians have violated it, Obama prefers to throw away one of the few solid achievements that emerged from his negotiations with the mullahs. His administration announced last week that sanctions would be delayed..."
The reason for the delay is that Iran is threatening to back out of the deal if Obama enforces it. Iran's defiance and Obama's wavering demonstrate that the mullahs feel less bound by the deal than he does. He's worried that it will collapse, but they aren't. Obama seems willing to sacrifice enforcement to preserve the illusion that a two-sided deal really exists.
What good is a deal...there IS no deal...if one side has NO intention of sticking to it and the other side is too much of a pu$$y to enforce it! It's Obama's 'Red Line' all over again, and this time there is a LOT more than just Syria at stake!
