NDAA Bill Signed

Just so everyone knows, Obama said that his administration will not use the law against any law-abiding U.S. citizen. He will simply command people to not enforce it against any U.S. citizen that is law abiding.
 


You dumbfucks realize the only reason that language is in the bill in the first place is because Obama PRESSURED Congress to put it in there, right??? The signing statement means nothing, it has zero legislative weight, Obama's Cartel wanted the power to indefinitely detain American citizens, now it's law, here's a throwaway signing statement saying we'll never use the power WE DEMANDED in the first place!!

It'll depend if the EU carries through with banning oil imports.

So the US didn't have the power alone to place any sanctions on Iran? Nothing at all?

From: BBC News - Iran President Ahmadinejad condemns US banking sanctions
BBC said:
The sanctions - which cut off from the US financial system foreign firms that do business with the central bank - are part of a defence bill signed by President Barack Obama on Saturday.

They will take hold after a warning period of up to six months.

Iran won't be so bold as to block oil tankers just because the US placed another sanction on them.

I can't find it ATM, but recently Iran threatened to shut down the strait of hormuz if ANY more sanctions were placed on them or their central bank.

I'd say this fits the bill, although I don't see Iran doing anything about it yet to try and keep their promise. Guess I won't be surprised if they wiggle out of it like the little bitches they are...

Well that was kind of my point - bridges with the US are burned, doesn't matter who set fire to them now (or at least I don't want to get into that argument)... But Iran losing its oil trade with the EU in my opinion would be unacceptable to them economically.

I'd guess both the EU and Iran would be desperate to sit down at the nuclear negotiation table again as neither can afford to actually go through with their threats.
