A day after Khamenei challange, Obama is still on a losing track; while allowing China to make inroads towards world leadership!

Iran’s supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei yesterday announced that on February 11, 2010, the anniversary of Iran’s revolution,  Iran will perform an act that “will stun the world!” At the same time, Iran also announced that it is speeding up its Uranium enrichment process; notwithstanding United States, the United Nations, and many members of the  international community, objections.

In spite of these announcements “in the face” of Obama and United States allies, President Obama is still speaking of adding sanction that he agree may, or may not, be imposed through the United Nations. The Security Council, because of a likely China veto, will not authorize any additional sanctions against Iran, regardless how hard the inept Obama Administration tries to bring them about. If the United States move on its own, with such allies as Italy, and perhaps the United Kingdom, it will simply allow the likes of China, Brazil, Venezuela, a number of the ex-Soviet Union republics, and other mavericks, to expand their trade with Iran and for all practical purposes destroy the impact of US led sanctions.

Obama’s reaction to Khamenei’s announcements is just another demonstration of how the Iranians are able to outmaneuver the United States at every turn, and how the Chinese are continuing to challenge the United States for world leadership…

Expanding its control over third-world and other oil producing countries, coupled with the enormous debt that the United States owes China, the most populated nation is rapidly moving towards political and economic world leadership.
