Iran plot: what are the consequences?

the main stream media will try and tell you that tough sanctions on north korea started in 2009 with the obama administration…but they didn’t. the obama team re-packaged the bush team’s work. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/07/21/north-korean-sanctions-aim-luxury-items/

Now comes word that United States Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice wasn’t even at the UN, let alone in the committee room, when UN members voted Iran onto the Commission on the Status of Women committee. Not only was our Ambassador not in the room for the vote, she wasn’t even in the building.
