Obama Threatens Iran With Isolation...Iran Responds By Isolating Themselves More

What DO you do with a President who is clueless in foreign policy? I mean really...what do you do? I want to post this quote from Barack Hussein Obama from September of 2009 from the China Economic Net article:

"Iran's leaders must now choose - they can live up to their responsibilities and achieve integration with the community of nations, or they will face increased pressure and isolation, and deny opportunity to their own people," Obama said in his radio address.

Okay, so if you are the President of the United States of America and you decide to make some sort of a threat towards Iran, wouldn't it be wise to have a clue as to whether the threatened action would actually be a BAD THING for that country?

Look at the title of this article from Times Online:

Western links are cut as Iranian rulers increase isolation

Now, the article from Times Online (which I have excerpted below) deals with what the Iranian regime is doing to combat world opinion regarding the protests and revolution in their country by the Green Movement but it very plainly points out that the Iranian higher echelon is purposely isolating their country. The WANT isolation, at this point. And at the same time, that is the big stick that Obama is using to persuade them to stop their nuclear ambitions.

Let me repeat that, the very punishment that Barack Hussein Obama wants to level onto the Iranians for not cooperating on nukes is what the Iranians have imposed upon themselves willingly today.

You'd imagine that there are some behind closed door meetings of the Obama administration where they are think tanking how to punish the Iranians and after days and weeks they emerge with this grand plan to "isolate" the mullahs. Good grief. It's like grounding a kid to his room for a week and the room is stocked with video games, porn magazines, unlimited cell phone usage and a carton of Skittles.

This is the bullshit that we tried to warn America of during the campaign...that this guy was beyond green. He's a fucking idiot.

Western links are cut as Iranian rulers increase isolation

Iran’s international isolation deepened yesterday when the regime banned contact with more than 60 highly regarded Western organisations which it accused of conspiring against the Islamic Republic.
The list includes the BBC, Voice of America and other media organisations that beam Farsi-language programmes into Iran, as well as think-tanks, academic institutions and leading non-governmental organisations from America and Europe. “Having any relation ... with those groups involved in the soft war [against Iran] is illegal and prohibited,” the intelligence ministry said. “Citizens should be alert to the traps of our enemies and co-operate ... in neutralising the plots of foreigners and conspirators.”
One Iranian analyst, who cannot be named, said it was “a very harsh and important step” that would cut the last remaining back-channels for diplomatic communications with the West.
Others said that the list reflected either the paranoia of a regime convinced that the organisations were an extension of Western intelligence services, or a further attempt to discredit the opposition by portraying it as a puppet of Iran’s foreign enemies.

The list includes Yale University, the Soros and Ford foundations, the right-wing American Enterprise Institute, the liberal Brookings Institution, Human Rights Watch and USAid. Some, but not all of the organisations, have worked with universities or civil society institutions in Iran — bodies that tend to be hostile to the regime.
Four British organisations are named: the BBC, Wilton Park and Menas Associates, along with the “British Centre for Democratic Studies” — which appears not to exist.
The regime has repeatedly accused the BBC of being part of a British plot against it. It has expelled the organisation’s Tehran correspondent and regularly jams the BBC Persian satellite television signal.
Wilton Park and Menas said they had no idea why they were included. “We’re sad and disappointed,” said Richard Burge, executive director of Wilton Park, which is part-financed by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and organises conferences where adversaries can have off-the-record discussions on contentious international issues. “What [the regime] is doing is just cutting down access for Iran and Iranians to engage in debate on issues critical to them and to us. They lose by it,” he said.
Menas is an independent consultancy that publishes a newsletter for companies investing in Iran. “There’s no legitimate reason why we should be on that list except that we have followed Iran for some years,” said Charles Gurdon, its managing director.
