A pointless war has led to a moral defeat for Israel

Even on its own terms, the campaign has failed. Israeli authorities will insist that they have limited the ability of Hamas to launch rocket attacks. But the ostensible war aim was destroying that capability completely. Israel will also claim that its campaign has exposed a lack of support for Hamas in many Arab capitals; that Hamas' position as the ruling authority in Gaza has been undermined; and that Hamas has been revealed as little more than a terrorist proxy acting on behalf of and armed by Syria and Iran. But the reality is that the status of Hamas as the preferred vehicle for Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation has been enhanced by the indiscriminate brutality of the military assault.

Ahmadinejad's letter to Saudi Arabia

As all free men and nations have raised their voices in protest of the Zionist regime and the atrocities it is committing in Gaza, it is expected of you as the Saudi Arabian King and the Custodian of the Two Holy Places, i.e Makkah and Medina, to break your silence on the catastrophic events and the massacre taking place in Gaza and take a clear stance on the murder of your children, who are dear to the Islamic Ummah.

Iran's Jewish community condems Gaza massacre

Iran's Jewish Community released a statement on Tuesday, saying that Israel's deliberate killing of Palestinians is in direct contradiction to Jewish principles and beliefs.

There is a difference between the great religion of Judaism and the psychopathic racist doctrine of Zionism...

Christmas in Tehran

I just want to share some beautiful Christmas pictures from Tehran, Iran. This is a nation Americans have been told is run by the "Anti-Christ." Well, based on these pictures and the Christmas message President Ahmadinejad just broadcast to the world, he may be may things to many people, but he is certainly not "anti" Christ. In fact, as a devout Muslim, President Ahmadinejad deeply loves and honor Jesus as a great Prophet of Islam. The ONLY members of the Abrahamic faiths that I am aware of that are "anti" Christ are the Jews...

Ahmadinejad to give alternative Christmas message

President Ahmadinejad of Iran could upstage the Queen when he delivers an "alternative" Christmas message tomorrow on British television.

We can be damned sure the good President's speech won't be shown on US television...

Russian S-300s 'hit the road to Iran'

Iran has reportedly confirmed the commencement of the delivery of a powerful anti-aircraft missile defense system from Russia.

Israeli FM: US dialogue with Iran could be problem

Israel's foreign minister said Thursday that President-elect Barack Obama shouldn't talk to Iran just yet, warning that such dialogue could project "weakness" — a first sign of disagreement with the incoming American administration.

And, Israel wastes no time in signaling to Rahm Emanuel his first task - to sabotage talks with Iran. Expect President Elect Obama to change his position regrading talks with Ahmadinejab.

US taxpayers suffer from deployment of radar to Israel

At a cost of $89 million to taxpayers, the U.S. Senate, with no hesitation, recently passed a bill that was attached by Republican Senator Jon Kyl to the federal defense budget for the deployment of another sophisticated long-range radar system in Israel.

Iran concerned about US acts of terror

"It is of great concern that many civilians are slain and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of countries are violated under the pretext of tracking down terrorists," Ishaq al-e-Habib told the UN session.

In Reversal, Democrats Shelve Iran Resolution

Falling from shoo-in status to widely rejected legislation within the space of four months, a resolution that would have opened the door for a naval blockade on Iran was officially shelved at the end of September, after several of its cosponsors withdrew their support.

What happened? Can't afford another war??

Iran says it forced down US warplane

The Iran News Agency says a US warplane violated the country's territory and was forced to land. The agency said five senior US military officials had been interrogated at an Iranian airport and released a day later after it became clear that the plane had not entered intentionally.

NATO chief: Given Iran nukes, we can't ask Israel to disarm

"As we all know, Israel never admits to what it has, but I do not see very many arguments for the Jewish state to abandon its potential," he said. Scheffer said that NATO did not have a direct role to play in the issue, but said he was worried that the United Nations had failed to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions.

First of all, Iran doesn't have nukes. Secondly, Scheffer can't see many reasons for Israel to abandon its nuclear weapons but he would attack Iran for developing nuclear energy - only a Zionist can exhibit such twisted reasoning.

TV Report: U.S. won't allow Israeli attack on Iran

The report on Channel 10 said any strike against Iran would leave U.S. forces based in Iraq vulnerable to retaliation. Depending on who becomes the next U.S. president, troops could remain in Iraq from under two years to indefinitely.

The US finally, GETS IT!!!

Iran: Any Israeli attack will be seen as US attack

Symbolising Israel as a signature mark of the United States in the middle east, Iran's foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki has said that any offensive action by Tel Aviv would be seen as an attack by Washington. "In the Middle East, (no one) makes a distinction between the US and Israel," the minister told Newsweek in an interview.

No Debate on Iran

"McCain and Obama agreed on their willingness to go to war against Iran in the absence of any threat to the United States."

If George Bush and Barack Obama both call you crazy, you're probably in your right mind. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made perfectly good sense when he addressed the UN General Assembly, in New York. "He correctly pointed out that Iraq was invaded under false pretenses, that Palestinians are displaced from their homes by Zionists, that drug production has increased in Afghanistan while under NATO control, and that the U.N. Security Council, controlled by the guilty parties, is ineffectual and unable to stop these actions." In the Demo-Publican book, that makes him nuts.

UN General Assembly Chief: Some Security Council members worse than Iran

President of the UN General Assembly Miguel D'Escoto Brockmann (Reuters)

"There are members of the Security Council right now who have done things infinitely worse than Iran could ever do," D'Escoto told a news conference. When asked who he was referring to, D'Escoto, who has a history of criticizing U.S. administrations, quoted a Spanish saying: "For those who have the power of understanding, you need only a few words."

A reporter asked D'Escoto what could be worse than saying that Israel, a UN member, should be wiped off the map , as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said. "Verbally there's hardly anything that could be worse" than Ahmadinejad's comments, D'Escoto said. "Verbally. But the world is not destroyed by words but by actions ... I put more importance to deeds than words," he said. "To say that is one thing and to commit crimes against the sovereign rights and independence of another country is something else ... I think we all have to agree that no one dies because of words."

Israelis wary of a US radar base in the Negev

When a contingent of U.S. soldiers opens a radar facility on a mountaintop in the Negev desert next month, Israel will for the first time in its 60-year history have a permanent foreign military base on its soil. And despite the early warning that the American radar would provide if Iran launches a missile attack on Israel, some senior Israeli officials are nonetheless wary about its presence. Complained one top official, "It's a like a pair of golden handcuffs on Israel."

Yea, it is - and that's exactly the intent! Did you know that ONLY American troops are allowed to operate the system, that all missile tracking data will be transmitted to the US and NOT Israel, and that the system allows the US to keep watch on Israel as well as Iran? I knew you didn't...

Russia warns Georgia against support for US war on in Iran

Moscow said that the involvement of Georgia by the United States into a military operation against Iran will pose an additional threat to Russia's national security.

In other words, an attack against Iran will be viewed as an attack against Russia...

US group granted rare approval to set up office in Iran

The American Iranian Council (AIC), a research and policy think tank devoted to improving ties between the two arch enemies, was given a license to establish a presence in Tehran by the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), officials said.

Few Americans Back Military Action in Iran

Most adults in the United States believe there is no need to launch military action against Iran right now, according to a poll by CBS News and the New York Times. 61 per cent of respondents believe Iran can be contained with diplomacy, and 20 per cent believe it is not a threat to the U.S. at this time.

Like I said earlier, after Iraq and Afghanistan, you couldn't melt the US down and pour it on another Islamic country...
