Iran Condemns Bush Speech on Terrorism

[southernleftylady]

TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's supreme leader on Thursday condemned President Bush (news - web sites)'s State of the Union address in which he accused Tehran of sponsoring terrorism, saying Washington was seeking to uproot Iran's ruling Islamic establishment but would fail.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran, because of supporting the oppressed and confronting oppressors, is being attacked by the global tyrants," state-run television quoted Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as saying.

"They (America) are trying, in a real but nonmilitary confrontation, through every possible means, to deny the talented Iranian nation of progress and deprive it of existence."

5. Maybe I am having a bad day...

But the constant use of "rag-head" on this message board, regardless that it is mostly used in sarcastic terms to deride Bush and his cronies, is getting real annoying lately.

Would you please stop?

10. What does that have to do with your choice of perpetuating derogatory

terms?

[candle_bright]

11. It has nothing to do with it.

Just a diversion I suspect. I too am tired of derogatory terms.

12. Thank you!

13. I didn't know you were my nanny

[IA_Seth]

14. I'll put it simpler

I am not trying to be your nanny. I tried to be nice, I said that it bothered me and asked you nicely (I said please) to stop. If you would act like a damn adult and respect other people you wouldn't need a nanny.

I will put it in terms you can deal with:

Quit using derogatory terms, as prohibited in the rules of the forum, or I will just start alerting your childish posts.

18. Hmmm

wow !!!! been here a month and running the place. Sarcasm is permitted I have watched your antics for a month here ---I have watched you tell people to get fucked etc. Like you did when you went after Skittles on this thread-- which got deleted

Go ahead and alert them-- I think you are a disruptor who likes to start flame wars

19. LOL

I've been here longer than a month, and I am not trying to run anything. All I ask is that you use common courtesy when posting, and leave the offensive language to those that have no other option.

Do you see the 'N' word being dropped (sarcasm or not) when talking about the Republican's election day tactics of suppressing the black vote?

Do you see the 'K' word being dropped (sarcasm or not) when talking about the anti-zionist militants who want to abolish Israel?

Do you see the 'C' word being dropped (sarcasm or not) when talking about Bush's lack of engagement with the North Koreans?

I sure don't, at least not by posters that I respect. If you have no other option than to use racist comments (in jest, sarcasm, or for any other reason), then go right on ahead. No skin off my back. I simply made a reasonable, polite, request.

I just haven't had to use the ingore button yet and didn't want to.

3. Iran, Syria, and Russia are better-informed than shrub supporters.

From the article:

"America is like one of the big heads of a seven-headed dragon," Khamenei said. "The brains directing it are Zionist and non-Zionist capitalists who brought Bush to power to meet their own interests."

Syria also rejected Bush's charge that it sponsored terrorism, with the information minister saying the democracy that Washington seeks for the Middle East cannot come through force.

Russian lawmaker Konstantin Kosachyov, head of the foreign policy committee in the State Duma, the lower house, said Bush's characterization of Iran as the main center of world terrorism showed that his speech was "written by propagandists, not analysts."

Right on all three counts.

6. Interesting

and true.

4. Without an enemy

Booosh is nothing. King of the manufactured crises.

7. Here we go again...

This is going to start a middle east Holy War against America. I mean, you have to give Homeland Security Department something to do.

17. i thought it already started??? and besides...

maybe one day we'll just be like "sorry guys it was a big misunderstanding!!" and even AMERICANS can dance in da streets!!

[AG78]

9. Good

I hope this gets the blood of Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Cheney boiling. The quicker we go to war with Iran, the better. Spread that damn freedom. It's your time to shine boys. This is your chance to conquer the planet. Many have come before you and failed. Lets see if your plans are better.
