Obama Gets It!

Obama targets Iran oil millions

US Democratic presidential hope Barack Obama has introduced a Senate bill encouraging investors to cash out of projects which benefit.

"The Iranian government uses the billions of dollars it earns from its oil and gas industry to build its nuclear program and to fund terrorist groups that export its militaristic and radical ideology to Obama said in a statement.


"Pressuring companies to cut their financial ties with Iran is critical to ensuring that sanctions have their intended result.


"All Americans can play a role in pressuring companies to cut their ties with the Iranian regime, a state sponsor of terror that is a threat to our allies in the region and international security, as a means of convincing Iran to fundamentally change its policies."

It would be wonderful if we could persuade companies to do that, Serendip. I still don't want Obama for president though.

JM: What I like about this is that he is the first politician I know of that calls the IRI ideology a 'Militaristic' ideology, which is the most descriptive and appropriate definition...
