Kinda like a slap in the face.

Plenty of words back and forth. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words though. 5 minutes to the Iran border from the Iraq side.

Yes...the Arabs "slapped us in the face" by not obeying outside demands that their own trade be controlled....LOL

I think this goes to show that NOBODY respects the UN.

We deserve that slap though. We spent billions freeing a people that didn't ask to be free.
And we continue to spend billions rebuilding their infrastructure.
And China waltzed in and got oil contracts.

Yes indeed, America deserves everything coming to her.

From your link:
"The law signed by Mr. Obama imposes penalties on foreign entities that sell refined petroleum to Iran or assist Iran with its domestic refining capacity."

I'd say $10 trillion would be a nice fine. Let's see how quickly Congress acts..oh wait they are NOT doing anything.

In your zeal to bemoan anyone on the right, you have completely missed the point of my post which had nothing to do with oil.

Since you brought it up here is a lesson for you.

UN Finally Lifts Saddam-Era Sanctions Against Iraq

Control of oil revenue returned to government

We need to punish Iraq with sanctions or invade Iraq to make them stop. And what's with Iran importing oil...?
