Why Diplomacy Fails.

Hey folks,

First, I’m impressed. I’ll admit that I seem to have been wrong. Yesterday’s non-story, STAYED a non-story. But then again, it was over shadowed by Don Imus and his use of racial slurs. If you missed it, check out the AP -Imus fights for job in wake of insults.

Yesterday is also a clear example of why, when dealing with people like Little Hitler {President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad} fails every time. Further prove that you cannot negociate with those that want you dead, just because you breath. Those that are radicle Islamists. Those that see you as nothing more than something to be destroyed. Why we CANNOT use diplomacy with Iran.

First, Iran kidnaped fifteen British sailors, who by all evidence were in Iraqi waters. Hold them for as long as they did, then released them.

First, the Iranians found out that they can do whatever they want and noone will do anything about it. This emboldens them to do more. According to, well everyone, he now is boasting his nuclear technology again. According to the AP -Iran expands uranium enrichment effort by Aliakbar Dareini, Associated Press Writer.

Iran announced a dramatic expansion of uranium enrichment Monday, saying it has begun operating 3,000 centrifuges — nearly 10 times the previously known number — in defiance of U.N. demands it halt its nuclear program or face increased sanctions.

U.S. experts say 3,000 centrifuges are in theory enough to produce a nuclear weapon, perhaps within a year. But they doubted Iran really had so many up and running, a difficult technical feat given the country's spotty success with a much smaller number.

Instead, the announcement may aim to increase support at home amid growing criticism of hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and to boost Iran's hand with the West by presenting its program as established, said Michael Levi, a nonproliferation expert at the Washington-based Council on Foreign Relations.

"From a political perspective, it's more important to have (3,000 centrifuges) in place than to have them run properly," Levi told The Associated Press. "We have an unfortunate habit to take Iran at its word when they make scary announcements."

WHY NOT? Ok I have a question. Why do you think that someone in Washington knows more about Iran, than Iran? This is one of the main problems. We are NOT taking Iran at their word. We didn’t take Hitler at his word either, until it was too late. Then it was, well, too late. I say we HAVE to take Little Hitler at his word. Why not?

The White House and Europe criticized the latest announcement.

"Iran continues to defy the international community and further isolate itself by expanding its nuclear program, rather than suspending uranium enrichment," said Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for the National Security Council.

Iran is known to have had 328 centrifuges operating at its Natanz enrichment facility in central Iran. For months, it has been saying it plans to launch an expanded program of 3,000, likely to be set up in a large underground area at Natanz to protect them from air strikes.

"I declare that as of today, our dear country has joined the nuclear club of nations and can produce nuclear fuel on an industrial scale," Ahmadinejad said in a speech during a ceremony at Natanz marking the one-year anniversary of the first successful enrichment of uranium there.

BELIEVE HIM! Then AP reports this.

Asked by reporters at the ceremony if Iran has begun injecting uranium gas into 3,000 centrifuges for enrichment, Iran's top nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani replied, "Yes." He did not say specifically whether all were working.

In the enrichment process, uranium gas is pumped into centrifuges, which spin and purify the gas. Enriched to a low degree, the result is fuel for a reactor, but to a high degree it creates the material for a nuclear warhead.

You do not have to guess. You do not have to speculate, ponder, wonder, debate, or anything else. All you have to do is LISTEN.

Do you remember when he released them? He was praised in the MMD {Mass Media Drones} the LWL, and the Liberals out there had a field day. Some even attempted to give Pelosi some credit for it.

Side note: Notice how the MMD has all but buried the story of Pelosi’s trip? With some as myself and others calling for her removal as the Traitor that she is, the media backed down, back peddled, and wants you to forget all about the trip. Does not fix the problem though.

Here is another reason that diplomacy fails with people like this. Not only does it embolden Little Hitler, it teaches a lesson to others. According to FT.com -Arab street warms to showman Ahmadi-Nejad {Financial Times} by Andrew England in Cairo. This is amazing.

On the dusty streets of Cairo, once considered the most important capital in the Arab world, Egyptians mulled over the recent performance of Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad, with most concluding he deserved a thumbs-up.

The Iranian president’s eye-catching showmanship as he announced the release of the 15 British sailors and marines seems to have generated admiration laced with a hint of frustration – why couldn’t Arab leaders be like him and stand up to the west?

The fact that Mr Ahmadi-Nejad is the leader of a Persian, predominantly Shia nation, seemed not to matter. "I consider Ahmadi-Nejad a leader of the Arab people. He has the confidence. It upsets me that we don’t have such a leader," says Mohamed Ali, a 20-year-old student.

As Sunni Arab leaders voice concerns about sectarian tensions they say are fuelled by Iran and its interference in Iraq and Lebanon and watch Tehran’s nuclear programme with suspicion, other, ordinary Arabs see Mr Ahmadi-Nejad as a breath of fresh air.

A breath of fresh air? "We don’t have such a leader?" Folks, WHEN he chooses to branch out even more, he will be accepted by more people than you can imagine. He could easily become other’s leader as well. I have been warning you that this is a new Hitler rising.

Abdullah Alshayji, a professor of international relations and head of the US studies unit at Kuwait University, says the Iranian leader strikes a balance that resonates in the Arab world: candid and outspoken in his criticism of the west and Israel, while appearing as a humble man of the people.

"We see that this could really give credence to Iran, that they are standing up to the two dominant powers in the region, America and Britain," Mr Alshayji says. "What we see is Iran gaining the hearts and minds by standing up to the major powers, so it is likely the masses in the Arab street, or maybe the Muslim street, look at Iran as the only country that can play head to head with the these powers, while the axis of moderation cannot be counted on."

The article goes on to say,

A recent poll of five Arab countries by the Zogby Institute and the Arab American Institute found most of those surveyed had a negative perception of Iran’s role in Iraq. "Iran’s image in the Arab world is the lowest ever," says Mustafa Alani, security analyst at the Dubai-based Gulf Research Centre.

But that’s changing.

Then this report by The Independent -Leading article: Iraq and the erosion of Britain's moral authority points out the way Britain handled the situation and the fact that more British soldiers were just killed in Iraq is actually hurting Britain. It ends with this.

If, as it seems, the Prime Minister hoped to rewrite the diplomatic draw as a moral victory for Britain, he failed to convince. His ill-judged remarks only underlined how inexorably his power is ebbing away.

Simply, you CANNOT use diplomacy with people that want you dead, just because you breath. Iran doesn’t want anything from us. They just want us dead. Little Hitler wants world domination. He SAID so. Yet we chose to wonder, guess, and ask, want is it that we can offer him to make him play nice. What can we do to get him to like us? Ask him. He’ll tell you. Die.

Don’t Forget About Iran

Hey folks,

As the battle continues here at home between the White House and Congress, with the MMD throwing in their buck fifty, the war continues. One watching this whole mess is Little Hitler. Over the weekend, we learned that the Iranian military seized a British ship. They claimed that the ship was in Iranian water, which of course Britain denies. When asked if we were negotiating for their release, the White house said "No, the British were handling that." Then we learned,

Iran claimed Saturday that 15 British sailors and marines had confessed to entering its waters in an act of "blatant aggression," an escalation of Tehran's rhetoric over the confrontation.

The British Foreign Office summoned Iran's ambassador for the second time in two days, saying an under-secretary had spent more than an hour in "frank and civil" talks demanding the safe return of the sailors and Royal Marines, and seeking assurances about their welfare and access to British consular officials.

Iran's top military official, Gen. Ali Reza Afshar, said the sailors and marines were moved to Tehran and under interrogation "confessed to illegal entry" and an "aggression into the Islamic Republic of Iran's waters." Afshar did not say what would happen to the sailors.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini accused the British of "violating the sovereign boundaries" of Iran, calling the entry a "blatant aggression."

Notice he said, sailors and marines were moved to Tehran and under interrogation "confessed to illegal entry" and an "aggression into the Islamic Republic of Iran's waters." Afshar did not say what would happen to the sailors.

Well then, according to all our Liberal and LWL friends, if they were tortured, you cannot believe their confession. Right? But as of this time the British have not asked for our help. They are their people and they are dealing with it.

Then on Sunday, Little Hitler himself made it well known that he could careless about the sanctions place on Iran by the UN. According to the AP

Iran announced Sunday that it was partially suspending cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog while hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the latest U.N. sanctions would not halt the country's uranium enrichment "even for a second."

Iranian state television quoted Ahmadinejad as saying the additional Security Council sanctions imposed on Saturday "stem from the hostility by some powers against Iran."

"It is not a new issue for the Iranian nation. Enemies of the Iranian nation have made a mistake this time too," Ahmadinejad said, adding the new sanctions "will not halt Iran's peaceful nuclear program even for a second."

Did ANYONE really think the sanctions would work? I have been warning you folks longer than most . I’ve been telling you about Little Hitler for a long time. Now he is being paid attention to by the Mass Media, I believe, for two main reasons. First, they can use this for more attacks on Bush. It is all his fault that there is so much tension in the world. Second, to put fear into YOU. To convince you that we will end up going there and end up in another "failed war attempt."

By the way, have you seen oil prices lately?

Then just this morning, according to Reuters

A senior Iranian military official warned the United States against launching any attack on the Islamic Republic, a news agency reported on Monday, two days after the United Nations imposed new sanctions on Iran.

"If America starts a war against Iran, it won't be the one who finishes it," Morteza Saffari, naval forces commander of the elite Revolutionary Guards, was quoted as saying by the ISNA news agency.

"Our people will not even allow one American soldier to enter our country," Saffari said.

As well we shouldn’t. A couple of planes. A couple of bombs.? Yeah, that will work. Not one foot of any America soldier should touch Iranian soil. Take out any possibility of them creating nuclear weapons with a few well placed bombs, no more worries. A couple of well placed bombs in Iraq would have ended this war in a few days. We would never have had all these discussion we have been having for the last four to five years,. Nor would we have lost more than maybe a hand full of our men and women in service.

The problem that President Bush has now, is he tried to cater to these lunatics known as the LWL from the beginning. He tried to fight "fair, and nice." We are in a war. Our enemies want us dead. Given the chance they will KILL us. I say we stop playing games with these terrorists and end this NOW, and I’m NOT talking about pulling out.

Iran Situation Heating Up


Hey folks,

Now I know some of you do not want to hear this. You are tired of me talking about Little Hitler. You do not really get most of this anywhere else. You think I’ve proved my point and do not want to hear about it anymore. Tough. Stop reading this article now. If you want to be informed of this growing threat, read on.

Someone asked me why I did not report on the fact that there are some and growing, that do not like nor support President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. I did not comment on it because HE doesn’t care. They cannot really stop him. They do not have the power. You want an example of why I do not feel this is an important fact? Look at President Bush. Approval rating of 36%, still President, will be for another two years. With a wink, he could send troops into or over Iran and boom. Doesn’t mean anything that most in this country does or does not like it. He can still do it.

But now that we are sitting off his coast, Little Hitler is not all that happy. According to the AP,

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lashed back over the U.S. military buildup in the Gulf, saying Thursday that Iran is ready for any possibility in the standoff over its nuclear program.

The president made clear he was not backing down in his tough rhetoric toward the United States, despite criticism at home. Conservatives and reformists alike have openly challenged Ahmadinejad's nuclear diplomacy tactics, many saying his fiery anti-Western remarks are doing more harm than good.

Ahmadinejad said their calls for compromise echo "the words of the enemy."

He also said.

"Today, with the grace of God, we have gone through the arduous passes and we are ready for anything in this path," state-run television quoted the Iranian leader as saying.

Now of course Defense Secretary Robert Gates, made it very clear that they are flawed in their thinking that we are incapable of doing anything about him. Wonder where Little Hitler may have gotten that idea from. {Smile}

"The Iranians are "overplaying their hand" on the world stage in a belief that setbacks in Iraq have weakened the United States, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday.

He said that now is not the time to negotiate with Iran because the U.S. lacks leverage but that talks probably would make sense at some point.

The U.S. has been applying growing pressure on Iran, blaming Tehran for providing bombs and other help used against American troops by militants in Iraq. President Bush has warned the U.S. will "seek out and destroy" the networks providing that help.

In addition, American raids inside Iraq have netted Iranian prisoners, and the U.S. is sending a second aircraft carrier and missiles to the region."

Break,

"To be precise, I told them both that I thought the Iranians were overplaying their hand and that one of the consequences of that is that they have raised real concerns on the part of a number of countries in the region and beyond about their intentions," he told reporters.

With regard to U.S. failure thus far to achieve stability in Iraq, Gates said, "I think that our difficulties have given them (the Iranians) a tactical opportunity in the short term, but the United States is a very powerful country."

"There are many courses of action available that do not involve an open conflict with Iran — there's no need for that."

"Right at this moment, there's really nothing the Iranians want from us," he said. "And so, in any negotiation right now we would be the supplicant," asking Iran to stop doing such things as enriching uranium for its nuclear program."

"We need some leverage, it seems to me, before we engage with the Iranians," Gates added. "And I think at some point engagement probably makes sense."

Now during this situation, Iraq has added their point of view. They are in essence asking both US and Iran to take the fight elsewhere.

"Iraq told the United States and Iran to settle their scores elsewhere, while the US military confirmed it had searched Sudan's embassy in Baghdad as part of an anti-insurgent operation.

"We demand that all respect Iraq's sovereignty. We don't want to be a party to any strife aimed at settling scores," Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh told a Baghdad news conference.

In a veiled reference to Tehran, he said: "We want others to respect the presence of the multi-national forces, US and British forces, because they are here as a result of an Iraqi government decision."

Well, then Iraq needs to tell Iran to stop funding and suppling insurgence. But they are right. We do need to respect their sovereignty. They need to be able to defend their own sovereignty as well. This is also why we need the increase in troops to get the job done and bring all home faster.

But Iran and Little Hitler, need to understand that no matter what, we will NOT just sit back and allow them to obtain nuclear weapons, that we know beyond any doubt, they will use. No matter what the situation is in Iraq, nor what the situation is here, we are always ready.

Update on Little Hitler

Hey folks,

Well no more news as for who these people are. Just they are not with Little Hitler. The story I quoted this morning said,

"Opponents of Iran's ultra-conservative president won nationwide elections for local councils, final results confirmed Thursday, an embarrassing outcome for the hardline leader that could force him to change his anti-Western tone and focus more on problems at home."

Well, according to Iran Focus, this is NOT the case so far, they reported yesterday,

"The oppressive powers will disappear while the Iranian people will stay. Any power that is close to God will survive while the powers who are far from God will disappear like the pharaohs," he said, according to Iranian news agencies.

"Today, it is the United States, Britain and the Zionist regime which are doomed to disappear as they have moved far away from the teachings of God," he said in a speech in the western town of Javanroud.

"It is a divine promise."

Ahmadinejad's comments were the latest salvo by the deeply religious president against the West and Israel. He has repeatedly predicted that Israel is doomed to disappear.

The remarks come amid mounting efforts by UN Security Council powers to agree a resolution imposing sanctions on Iran over its controversial nuclear programme.

"They are threatening us with sanctions. But they have to know that nuclear energy is the desire of all the (Iranian) people and the people will insist on their right," Ahmadinejad said.

Then today, The AP reports,

"President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called President Bush "the most hated person" in the world on Thursday, keeping up his tirades against the West despite elections that showed Iranians want him to focus on the country's domestic problems.

In final results announced Thursday from local elections last week, moderate conservatives opposed to Ahmadinejad won a majority of seats. They were followed by reformists, making a comeback after being driven out of local councils, parliament and the presidency over the past five years."

Break,

"But Ahmadinejad appeared unbowed. He toured cities in western Iran, telling the crowds that Iran will not be intimidated by Western demands to dismantle its nuclear program, and scolding Bush.

"Oh, the respectful gentleman, get out of the glassy palace and know that you are the most hated person in the eyes of the world's nations and you can't harm the Iranian nation," Ahmadinejad said, according to the official Iranian Republic News Agency.

He said Iran would continue uranium enrichment even under threat of U.N. sanctions. "A nation that has resisted until today will resist until the last step and will defend its rights," he said."

Now this is interesting,

"Ahmadinejad did not comment on the election results. But his hard-line foreign policy, in the absence of a strong domestic agenda or economic program, is believed to have divided the conservative base that voted him into the presidency last year.

The president has sharply escalated Iran's standoff with the United States and its allies over several issues. Besides uranium enrichment, he has sparked international outrage for his calls to eliminate Israel and for casting doubt on the Nazi Holocaust.

Election results outside Tehran also showed a heavy defeat for Ahmadinejad supporters. None of his candidates won seats on the councils in the cities of Shiraz, Bandar Abbas, Sari, Zanjan, Rasht, Ilam, Sanandaj and Kerman, and many councils in other cities were divided like Tehran's.

Similar anti-Ahmadinejad sentiment appeared in final results of a parallel election for the Assembly of Experts, the body of 86 senior clerics that monitors Iran's supreme Islamic leader and chooses his successor."

I think that the AP is making a mistake here though. Even more who read this, run the risk of making the same mistake. Iran is NOT America. Their political system is not the same as ours. Hitler {The original} rose to power through their political system. While the world appeased and ignored, Hitler became bigger than the system. He just took power and control. It then no longer mattered what the Germans "wanted." It was too late.

So far it doesn’t seem that he {Little Hitler} cares what the people want already. Yesterday we will be gone. Today, Bush "the most hated." Still, some here, you know who you are, want to GIVE Iraq to President Ahmadinejad. They want to "talk" to him. They truly think that they can change his mind.

But here’s the problem. His mind is set on world domination. He TRULY believes that he is on a mission from his god. He truly believes that the end is near, and that it is HIS destiny to lead Muslims into the World powers. He TRULY wants you and anyone else non-Muslim, dead. Let’s hope that the people DO have some kind of voice. Sadly, I have my doubts.
