Do No Evil – The government of Iran continues to supply weapons and other support to extremists in Iraq, despite repeated promises to the contrary, and is increasingly complicit in the death of U.S. soldiers, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Friday in a stark new assessment of Iranian influence.
Well now, what a surprise.... AhmaDinnerJacket say's one thing BUT "means" another....
Now where have we heard this before ?????
Oh yes, something about where he'd like Israel to be located.... Something about OFF the map, wasn't it ??
One may wonder: where did this false interpretation originate? Who is responsible for the translation that has sparked such worldwide controversy? The answer is surprising. The inflammatory 'wiped off the map' quote was first disseminated not by Iran's enemies, but by Iran itself. The Islamic Republic News Agency, Iran's official propaganda arm, used this phrasing in the English version of some of their news releases covering the World Without Zionism conference. International media including the BBC, Al Jazeera, Time magazine and countless others picked up the IRNA quote and made headlines out of it without verifying its accuracy, and rarely referring to the source. Iran's Foreign Minister soon attempted to clarify the statement, but the quote had a life of its own. Though the IRNA wording was inaccurate and misleading, the media assumed it was true, and besides, it made great copy.[12]
Al-taqiyya
That is what anything said by a Muslim, especially a leader, must be looked at with. The Quran gives them the authority to lie under certain circumstances. Family members, friends, non Muslims, and enemies. In other words anybody.
Will an Israeli Cabinet Minister's threat of the 'destruction of the Iranian nation' receive as much attention as Ahmadi-Nejad's mistranslated threat against Israel? Check out Arash Norouzi's trenchant deconstruction of the international media's sensationalist reception of Ahmadi-Nejad's comments vis-a-vis Israel here. He fittingly calls it 'the rumor of the century'. My question of whether Ben-Eliezer's comments will be met with equal controversy is obviously a rhetorical one since we know that such threats will attract scant attention in the western media. The threat of 'retaliatory' genocide will almost certainly go unchallenged by the same pundits whom couldn't help themselves but warn the world on a 24/7 loop of the 'genocidal ambitions' harbored by the IRI. Even if one thoroughly detests the IRI, threats such as these against the Iranian people must be unequivocally denounced and exposed for what they are.
Israeli Cabinet minister warns Iran will be destroyed if it attacks Israel
HB - And that would differ from Russia/China/France/UK/US reaction to ANY implied threat of use of WMD's, HOW exactly ???
Israel's comment (no need for translation, he spoke in English), was a direct response to an Iranian statement.
Note the use of the word IF... That would make this a conditional statement.....
Unlike certain country's statements.........
I think this subject should remain out in front of the world public. But we have known for a long time now the Iran was supplying weapons and IEDs. I certainly hope the chairman did not just come to this conclusion recently.
ABNTV "I think this subject should remain out in front of the world public."
I certainly agree with that,and i respect your opinion,but i have some problems with all of this.One is that Iran is one of the most non aggressive nations in the M.E.Check it's history and you find that they are not a nation that goes out and attacks other nations with out cause.
Two..who says that Iran is supplying arms and explosives?The same people that fed us all the lies that got us there in the first place,you know the drill,wmds,yellow cake etc.And even if that is true,what we do if a foreign power invaded Canada or Mexico ?
I think this is more of Cheney and bush's excuses to attack another oil country.,con't
cont.
So yes i agree that this should be in front of the world,if the accusations are true then "the world" should put sanctions in place that would hurt the Iranians.If the world doesn't believe the evidence then maybe it will keep us from destroying another county.
I really don't have much faith,based on this administrations record of lies,that any of it is true and i think that we should be very careful about our threats towards Iran.We can't afford the war we are in let alone widen it even more.Where will we get the money,equipment,manpower?

"One is that Iran is one of the most non aggressive nations in the M.E.Check it's history and you find that they are not a nation that goes out and attacks other nations with out cause."
I don't agree with that assessment. So who started the war between Iraq and Iran?
Well, there you go, baddad and quackpot don't believe any of it so.....just forget about it. lol
I don't believe anything these folks say about Iran. Wh;y? Here's why, I don't like propagandists, and as we've been propagandized by this administration, why the hell would I believe a; GD thing they say?

All attacking Iran would accomplish is to make them mad. We don't have the ground forces left to invade them so we are just going to kick them... Brilliant. If we do that, the price of oil will double overnight and the Iraq war will heat way up.
The Iranians control both the entrance of the Persian Gulf and the tempo of the war in Iraq. If we just get them mad without doing anything to topple their government, the leaders in Iran will simply use that to strengthen their positions and to attack us. That would probably include closing the Persian Gulf which will get everyone else in the World angry at us -- and remember the China and Japan hold lots of dollars. They can destroy our currency any time they want.
In addition, they would tell their puppets in Iraq to go on the rampage. Good bye quite time.
You all who want more war are crazy or very ignorant.
I keep saying the US isn't going to war with Iran soon. The Iranians keep acting like they know it too. But this current situation for the American miliatary isn't going to last forever. One day, Iran's little game is going to go too far and the US is going to let them have it. And don't be too surprised if that happens on a Democrat watch as "payback for the Reagan years." : )

Hmm .. perhaps we are supposed to hug and understand them? Nah, do like Clinton and hit them with surgical air strikes.
