The European Union said on Monday it had [not agreed to] new sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme, apparently contradicting British statements announcing new measures on its financial and energy sectors.
"There was no discussion of sanctions today. I know nothing about that," said Cristina Gallach, spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana who this weekend presented Iran with an updated offer of incentives by major world powers to halt enrichment.
Incentives. That's a good idea, but the US has a habit of not living up to their end of the bargain, so leave them out. Clinton helped create the problem when he agreed to proved light water reactors to North Korea so North Koreans can worship Kim Jong Il with the fucking lights on in exchange for a no nukes agreement. Naturally, we welched.
So go ahead, EU. Lead the world once again as the US is left in the dust, on the sidelines wondering why no one listens to our foot stomping anymore.
