==...C'mon now, guys, this was detailed <I>months</I> ago:<br /><br />===================<br /><br />In a newly released policy brief, Mr. Obama details the following steps for dealing with Rogue States:<br /><br />Under Obama, a first instance means they'll be give a <B>Stern Talking To</B>.<br /><br />And if they're found to do it again, it will come with a <B>Firm Reprimand</B>.<br /><br />A third offense will produce a <B>Disappointed Sigh</B> and a <B>Heartfelt Expression of Disappointment</B>.<br /><br />A fourth occurrence will mean a <B>Long Sit Down Over Tea</B>.<br /><br />Fifth and Sixth events will result in a <B>Consideration of Sanctions</B> and a <B>Deeper Consideration of Sanctions</B>, respectively.<br /><br />The seventh time will result in a <B>Public Call For A Committee On Sanctions</B>.<br /><br />The eighth offense will result in an <B>Open Request For Sanctions</B> and <B>Determined Foot Tapping of Impatience</B>.<br /><br /><br /><br />Note: Obama has not yet announced how his foreign policy will deal with the Ninth and Tenth events in this sequence, but I think it's clear that, whatever form it takes, he will make a similarly <B>Discerning Show of Determination</B> to express his <B>Supreme Dissatisfaction</B> with the nation in question.OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.com
