Obama hails vote; Turkey, Brazil vote against proposal
UNITED NATIONS - The U.N. Security Council on Wednesday approved new sanctions against Iran over its suspect nuclear program that target Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard, ballistic missiles and nuclear-related investments.
The resolution imposing a fourth round of sanctions against Iran was approved by a vote of 12-2 with Lebanon abstaining and Brazil and Turkey voting "no."
Turkey and Brazil, both non-permanent council members, brokered a fuel-swap agreement with Iran which they hoped would address concerns Tehran may be enriching uranium for nuclear weapons and avoid new sanctions.

OMG!!!! More Sanctions??? Oh, the pain!! Oh, the misery!!! What is Iran going to do now???? ha! The same thing they've been doing about the last 7-8 times we or the U.N. has said "stop with the nuclear weapons work or we're going get REALLY TOUGH SANCTIONS in place against you." As long as China & Russia give them whatever they need or want, our whining just makes their nightly comedy shows....Israel, on the other hand, ain't gonna bother with no sanctions....they're gonna do what we should have done 2-3 yrs ago....blow their nuclear facilities and military installations into the stone age...Then Obama will bomb the hell out of Israel to show his muslim friends around the world that we don't play that...
