One might call this politcal double speak, but I think it’s double that. This is a quote from Sen. Kerry, printed in a New York Times article by David Brooks on March 13:
"We know from our largely unsuccessful attempts to enlist the cooperation of other nations, especially industrialized trading nations, in efforts to impose and enforce somewhat more ambitious standards on nations such as Iran, China, Burma and Syria, that the willingness of most other nations - including a number who are joined in the sanctions to isolate Iraq - is neither wide nor deep to join in imposing sanctions on a sovereign nation to spur it to ’clean up its act’ and comport its actions with accepted international norms."
