Iranian Delusions

Jul 30, 07 4:50 PM

I nearly fell out of my seat when I read this one.  The Iranians are predictably upset by a US proposal to sell $20 billion worth of weaponry to Saudi Arabia.  I have my own qualms and concerns about that as well.  But the official reaction coming out of Tehran concerning the matter is what nearly made me choke on my Big Mac.

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman on Monday criticized a U.S. plan to sell state-of-the-art weapons to Saudi Arabia, saying it would undermine security in the Middle East, the state broadcasting company reported.

Mohammad Ali Hosseini’s comments followed reports last week that the U.S. planned to sell Saudi Arabia an estimated $20 billion of sophisticated weaponry, including advanced air systems that would greatly enhance the striking ability of Saudi warplanes.

“What the Persian Gulf region needs is stability and security,” Hosseini was quoted as saying on the Web site of the state broadcasting company. “Americans have been trying to disturb it by selling weapons to the region.”

What the bloody HELL???  Iran is complaining that we threaten to undermine regional stability???  They are upset about us selling weapons to other nations???  This the pinnacle of all gall and absurdity.

The Iranians give the s*** away.  They pour tens of millions of dollars into supporting avowed terrorist organizations (at the expense of their people) and coordinate attacks with their twisted minions on Americans in the Middle East, Israel and other pro-western Arab nations.  If I need to explain this hypocrisy anymore, then just close the window and read another blog.

The truth is – they are worried about the US selling weapons to a nation (Saudi Arabia) that has taken a stand (albeit quiet) against the regime in Tehran.  Saudi Arabia is a nation that has openly expressed concerns about Iranian plans in the region.  And Saudis have leaked it to the media that they would be prepared to  protect Sunni interests in Iraq if the US were to suddenly withdraw it forces – much the in the same manner as Shi’ite militias are merely a proxy for Iran.

I find it utterly hypocritical for Iran to make such ridiculous statements.  Perhaps the US is trying to force the mullahs’ hand by announcing the weapons sale.  Maybe they are intent on following through.  Nevertheless, I cannot imagine a more absurd reaction coming out of the mouths of Iranian officials.

If you have any doubt about the sanity of the people we are dealing with out of Tehran, let this serve as clue #1.  Here’s your sign, folks!

More Ron Paul Idiocy

Jul 30, 07 7:59 AM

This comment cracks me up left by a commenter on my last post:

“Using fear for political ends is the very essence of the neocon strategy, historically.”

Good lord, I’ve done this before but here goes:

  • Starting in 1979 under the Carter administration, our embassies in Tehran were seized and Americans were held hostage for 444 days.
  • In 1982 the U.S. Embassy in Beirut was blown up and 63 Americans were killed.
  • In 1983 the Marine barracks in Lebanon were blown up and 241 Americans were killed.
  • In 1985 the Italian Cruise Ship was seized and American was shot and thrown overboard with his wheelchair.
  • 1986 a West-Berlin Dance Club was blown up (coincidentally the dance club was visited often by US Service Men) – two U.S. Servicemen were killed and over 50 severely wounded.
  • 1988 Pan Am Flight 103 hijacked and over 200 people were slaughtered.
  • 1993 — The first WTC bombing.
  • 1995 — A Car bomb in Saudi Arabia blew up killing five Americans.
  • 1996 – 23 U.S. Servicemen were killed in a bomb set in an Air Force Housing Complex.
  • 1997 — Another car bomb.
  • 1998 — The Embassy in Kenya was blown up. (Multiple deaths)
  • 1998 — The Embassy in Tanzania was blown up. (Multiple deaths) 
  • 2000 — USS Cole blown up (Multiple Deaths)
  • and the grand finale, 9/11!

Since then of course, there haven’t been any massive attacks on the U.S. or its interests.  I guess those “neocon” scare tactics are paying off somewhat.

Tell me, was it neocon scare tactics that caused the destruction committed in 20 years mentioned above?

The truth is out there staring us in the face.  We never needed a 9/11 commission and we certainly don’t need someone as misguided as Ron Paul.

Finally, Michelle Malkin points out that Ron Paul has visited Alex Jones on a couple of occasions.  Do you know who Alex Jones is? 

Man, I guess Paul will get support wherever he can.

More from Malkin’s article where she actually quoted “Scholars for 9/11 Truth”

“In regards to Rep. Ron Paul, he states twice in the Student Scholars video that he believes that the first 9/11 investigation was one in which there many “cover-ups.” Paul also claimed he “never automatically believes anything the government does when they do an investigation.” Additionally, he has been on the Alex Jones show several times. Ron Paul knows very well that something is very wrong with the official explanation of 9/1l. However, like Dennis Kucinich he cannot look right into our cameras and proclaim “9/11 WAS A SELF INFLICTED WOUND!” Through acknowledging the legitimacy of the 9/11 Truth Movement’s concerns, these candidates are expressing their support for our cause.”

Be sure to respond and remind me again how this is all just an evil plan of neocon war-mongers.  Moreover; make the claim that it is the fault of the United States for all terror attacks in the last 20 years.
