Iran Still Lying

Hey folks,

Happy Monday. You remember when Little Hitler came here, was welcomed with open arms at Columbia University,. He said “Bomb? We have no need of a bomb.” “We are peaceful people” Then he said this.

“We love all nations. We are friends with the Jewish people. There are many Jews living in Iran with security. You must understand that in our constitution and our laws and the parliamentary elections for every 150,000 people we get one representative in the parliament. For the Jewish community one-fifth of this number they still get one independent representative in the parliament. Our proposal to the Palestinian plight is a humanitarian and a democratic proposal. What we say is that to solve this 60-year problem, we must allow the Palestinian people to decide about its future for itself.”

On Iran’s Nuclear programs?

“Some big powers create a monopoly over science and prevent other nations in achieving scientific development as well. This, too, is one of the surprises of our time. Some big powers do not want to see the progress of other societies and nations. They turn to thousands of reasons, make allegations, place economic sanctions to prevent other nations from developing and advancing, all resulting from their distance from human values and the teachings of the divine prophets. Regretfully, they have not been trained to serve mankind.”

Isn’t that sweet. His words so kind and non-threatening. Well, according to CNN -Petraeus: Iran still fueling war

FORWARD OPERATING BASE CALDWELL, Iraq (CNN) -- Although America's top general in Iraq called al Qaeda the wolf closest to the sled, he said sectarian fighting among militias fueled by Iran could be the biggest long-term challenge for Iraq.

Gen. David Petraeus, in an interview with CNN's Jim Clancy near the Iranian border in Diyala province, said, Militias could potentially be the long-term problem for Iraq, if you assume that we can continue to make progress against al Qaeda, Petraeus said.

He said he is in a show-me mode, waiting to see if Iran honors a pledge to stop the flow of arms, money and training from Iran into Iraq that has helped both Shiite and Sunni militants.

Al Qaeda remains the wolf closest to the sled, if you will. The enemy that is always bent on reigniting sectarian violence, causing the most horrific casualties, damaging the infrastructure in the most difficult way. So you cannot lose focus on al Qaeda.

But, Petraeus added, there was no question that Iranian arms were ending up in the hands of the Iraqi militias and there was no debate that six Iranians detained by the U.S. military in northern Iraq are Iranian Quds force members, the Iranian unit accused by the United States of training and arming insurgents.

There's no question, absolutely no question that Iran is providing advanced RPGs [rocket-propelled grenades], RPG 29s, Petraeus said.

It has provided some shoulder-fired, Stinger-like air-defense missiles. It has provided the explosively formed projectiles and it has provided 244 mm rockets, in addition to mortars, mortar rounds and other small-arms ammunition.

They are going to have to be dealt with. One way or another, today or tomorrow. According to Reuters -Iran says French call for EU sanctions illegal

Iran's foreign minister said on Saturday France's call for EU sanctions against Tehran outside of the U.N. framework was illegal and the Islamic Republic would not back away from its nuclear ambitions.

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner sent a letter to his European Union counterparts this week, appealing to the 27-nation bloc to take a lead in widening financial sanctions on Iran, which the West accuses of seeking to build atomic bombs.

Which IS what they are doing.

Kouchner sparked controversy last month by saying the world should prepare for the possibility of war with Iran over its atomic program, prompting Tehran to summon France's charge d'affaires in protest. Iran says its plans are peaceful.

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, speaking on a talk show on state television, described Kouchner's letter as baseless and said he would respond with his own letter.

"I will soon, in the next few days, send him a letter and will send a copy of it to his European counterparts, the foreign ministers of the European Union, and will remind (them) how illogical and illegal comments by Mr Kouchner were," he said.

"They should receive one clear message and that is that on this issue Iran's right (to obtain nuclear technology) cannot be traded. This is not something that anyone in the Islamic Republic will retreat from."

Told you that they will never give this up. They will never truly allow inspectors. They are on a quest to vacillated their quest to destroy Israel and “Death to America." It really is Just That Simple.

Kouchner's letter called on the EU to start exploring sanctions now, suggesting the bloc initially add Iranian banking firms and officials to its list of asset freezes and visa bans.

Six major powers last week delayed a U.N. vote on tougher sanctions on Iran until late November at the earliest. Russia, which holds a veto in the U.N. Security Council, backed the case for more negotiations with Tehran.

More useless talks.

The U.N. Security Council has slapped two rounds of sanctions on Iran for failing to halt uranium enrichment, the part of Iran's program that most worries the West because the process can make fuel for power plants or material for bombs.

The United States, which has been at the forefront of efforts to isolate Iran, has already imposed sanctions of its own in addition to the measures taken by the United Nations. Washington has urged European states to follow suit.

So far, it hasn’t worked. Nor will it.

France can count on support from Britain for EU sanctions and Germany has indicated it would cautiously back such a step but Prime Minister Romano Prodi signaled Rome would resist an attempt to formulate EU sanctions outside the United Nations.

Then you have this from the The Sunday Telegraph -Gordon Brown 'will back air strikes on Iran' By Tim Shipman in Washington

Gordon Brown has agreed to support US air strikes against Iran if the Islamic republic orchestrates large-scale attacks by militants against British or American forces in Iraq, according to senior Pentagon officials.

Washington sources say the Prime Minister has been informed of US plans to launch limited air and special forces raids against Revolutionary Guard bases.

We need to send a message to Little Hitler.

After talks with President George W Bush in July, Mr Brown left US officials with the belief that Britain was on board for a military response — but only if Iran was proved to be behind a big militant attack or another stunt similar to the kidnapping in March of British sailors.

The US wants Britain's Special Air Service Regiment to take part in special forces raids inside Iran and has requested help from the Royal Navy to combat Iranian retaliation in the Gulf. But no decisions have been made.

Mr Brown made clear to Mr Bush that he would not support a campaign to destroy Iran's nuclear programme and bring about regime change in Teheran.

But Pentagon officials say he did indicate he would be prepared to back strikes in certain circumstances.

This will most likely be attacked by the LWL and some in Congress when it becomes widely known. More of the same old, “We just need to talk with them. We need to work together to find a compromise. We need a diplomatic solution.” More garbage and waste of time. Nothing sends the message like a bomb put in the right place. They, the terrorist, know this all to well. This is what will get their attention. Talks and more talks have done, and will continue to do NOTHING.

Vincent Cannistraro, a former White House intelligence chief in close contact with senior Pentagon officials, said: The British understand there's a possible need to strike — not strategic bombing of nuclear sites but facilities in Iran in support of Iraqi elements. This understanding was reached shortly after Brown took office.

The threat of action has been passed to the Iranian government and is credited with slowing the flood of Iranian weapons into Iraq.

WAIT. Read that again.

The threat of action has been passed to the Iranian government and is credited with slowing the flood of Iranian weapons into Iraq.

The threat of force, as long as those the threat is lodged against KNOW it IS possible, WORKS.

The suggestion that Mr Brown has discussed air strikes will anger critics who believe Tony Blair was too quick to approve military action against Iraq.

A Downing Street spokesman said: While we won't comment on the specifics of conversations between the Prime Minister and the President of the United States, this is not a version of events we recognise.

A source close to Mr Brown said the two had talked about Iran but we have not had this conversation

Why should they let the terrorists know exactly what we are planing. Unlike here, they do not have people like those at the NYT that like to share top secret information with our enemies. But people here really need to wake up. Really need to realize that Little Hitler is rising, becoming more and more powerful, and needs to be dealt with in language he understands.
