Joke 3455:
“Despite having announced an official deal with China last week, US officials today admitted that all the details on anti-Iran sanctions still haven’t been ironed out with the Chinese government, and that it will be one of the major topics of discussion in the high level talks coming up this week.
Indeed, one official said that China had only agreed in the most vague of ways, and that the two sides remain sharply at odds over the issue. The US still has ‘substantial work,’ one official admitted, which would have to include convincing China of every single individual and company to be targeted.
Incredibly enough, though Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced the China ‘deal’ on Tuesday there still has been virtually no public comment from China indicating any change in their long-standing position that diplomacy must come first and foremost. Now it seems that position hasn’t changed in any serious way and that the announcement, as
widely publicized as it was, doesn’t mean nearly as much as it seemed….”

It’s really too bad about Hillary—she could have been a fox caught early enough. Instead look at her—she’s looks like she is rehearsing to be one of the less memorable Roman Emperors in the Historia Augusta.
She does even have class enough to be an alcoholic.
