Accusing their financial and weapons benefactors is most unusual.Think this Islamic extremist nutter was reading the wrong script.

Yes, he probably was. Those whitehouse script writers need to improve.

Was this written on April 1st? Iran is one of the most Islamic nations on the planet.

This is a smoke screen. Only good enough to be digested by the appeasers.

According to John McCain Iran and Al Quada are in league together. How can this be?

#5-newman-iran supports hezbollah, their almost the same as al qeada.

#4-siroos-you might have a point there!! But, from what i've been hearing over the past several years, the younger iranians want some westernization over there.

Still working on that agenda I see. Do you have a checklist to see how many times you can mention the US in a negative light, or just pretty much every article regardless of what it is.

There was an interesting article, I think it was on this site, a few days ago which suggested that the Georgian crisis had forced a rethink in Washington over US policy towards Iran. Basically the idea was that Russia was now seen as a greater threat and that they should be seeking Iranian assistance against them!
Apparently Iran remained neutral over Georgia and this won them a few brownie points too.
Which all just goes to show how grubby and confused global politics is!

I don't agree with you much of the time, but you are so right on with this comment. Wheels within wheels, brother. I don't think those few people with the most reliable intelligence agencies are doing anything but guessing at this point. If they don't know, how should we be expected to know. Have you ever heard this song, I would have posted to the song itself but i couldn't find it. Here's the lyrics. Lyrics and music by Country Joe McDonald, song released by New Riders of the Purple Sage.

"Hold on it's coming"

Picked up a hitchhiker the other day
He said he wasn't going far
He looked so strange I couldn't help myself
I asked, please, tell me who you are
He smiled politely and lit a cigarette
You know the smoke seemed to cast a spell
What happened next I don't understand yet
It was so strange I can hardly tell

He said, hold on it's coming
He said, hold on it's very near
He said, hold on it's coming
He said, hold on it's almost here

My mind seemed to spin and my hands began to tremble
I began talking in tongues
I looked over and his eyes seemed to glow
It was like looking at the sun
I told him everything in just a few moments
As if we had stopped time
I felt the great lightness as if I were floating
It was truly blowing my mind

He said, hold on it's coming
He said, hold on it's very near
He said, hold on it's coming
He said, hold on it's almost here

And I was suddenly a child again
I was holding my father's hand
And I watched it from the beginning
As I grew from child to man
My friends all came and gathered round me once more
And we undid what was done
And when it was over I was driving down the road
I looked around, you know, he was gone

He said, hold on it's coming
He said,

He said, hold on it's coming
He said, hold on it's very near
He said, hold on it's coming
He said, hold on it's almost here

He said, hold on it's coming
He said, hold on it's very near
He said, hold on it's coming
He said, hold on it's almost here
