Aijaz Ahmad courtesy of TheRealNews.comAt the AIPAC conference Barack Obama demonstrates he’s trying to outdo McCain and Bush on foreign policy.As stated in this video, who needs Neocons, when we have Liberals like this.Obama told AIPAC he will promote tough sanctions against Iran, whether the U.N. approves of them or not. Ahmad points out Bill Clinton implemented such sanctions as well, but he only pursued sanctions approved by the U.N. Security Council.
Barack Obama has the same advisors Bill Clinton had when he implemented the “Oil For Food” program.
Were the U.N. sanctions such a great thing? They didn’t do much to Saddam, but they did kill half a million Iraqi children. The U.N. sanctions denied basic necessities like medical equipment, antibiotics, vaccines, cancer medication, and morphine for dying cancer patients.
Iraq has a lot of cancer patients because the U.S. and Brittan used shells coated with depleted uranium while bombing Iraq, and they did it for years.
