Naturally enough, the policy IS weak and impotent.

Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency, quoting Al-Arab, said the United States is sending contradictory messages on how it will deal with the latest developments in Iran and the problems it is facing in Iraq and North Korea demonstrates the impotency and weakness of the United States. The Al-Arab article was based on interviews with experts, none of them identified by IRNA. An Algerian, identified only as a nuclear expert, told the newspaper that Iran's nuclear program has reached a point where the West has only two options, impose sanctions on Iran or recognize its right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. The expert "believes imposition of sanctions would not achieve the desired result" because Iran has demonstrated its ability to manipulate global politics, said IRNA. And, said the Algerian, the US efforts to impose harder sanctions against Iran are facing opposition from Russia and China and some European allies, who are leaning toward more negotiations to resolve the crisis.
