President Barack Obama would veto Iran sanctions legislation introduced in the Senate today, according to White House spokesman Jay Carney, who said the measure would increase the chance of war.

Carney’s comments underscored a rift between Obama and some lawmakers, including Democrats, about whether sanctions legislation would prod Iran toward a nuclear deal or derail the talks aimed at assuring the government in Tehran doesn’t produce nuclear weapons.

“Passing new sanctions legislation now will undermine our efforts to achieve a peaceful resolution and greatly increase the chances that the United States would have to take military action,” Carney said at a briefing today.

Twenty-six U.S. senators, half of them Democrats, introduced the bill to hit Iran with further sanctions if it violates a six-month accord with the U.S. and other nations or fails to reach a final agreement curtailing its nuclear program.

As part of the negotiations, it was agreed no NEW sanctions can be imposed.

If the U.S. does so, they are violating the rules.

Ask the Native Americans how many treaties the U.S. broke ?

The U.S. seems to have trouble keeping its word.

If the U.S. military industrial complex wants war, it will be up to the world community to stop it.

U.S. citizens seem to have zero say in anything the U.S. government and the military industrial complex does.
