Iranian doublespeak
A letter in yesterday's Wall Street Journal somehow escaped my attention. When I read said letter 'bout 2 p.m. today, I damn near choked on the bite-size Snickers I was eating.
Iran's U.N. "press counselor," a Mister M.A. Mohammadi, had a letter to the editor published in yesterday's WSJ in which he uncorked ... well, this is what he said:
"Unfortunately, the U.S., succumbing to the pressure of Israel and its supporters in the U.S. ... has conveniently ignored Iran's contribution to regional peace and security."
A person would have to be an Iranian mullah-loving sycophant -- or a dumbass of the first order -- to think that the Islamic Republic of Iran has done anything to foster "peace and security" in the Middle East. Think I'm talkin' outta my you-know-what?
Let's see:
Iran was responsible for the 1983 Beirut bombings (killing both U.S. and French marines); INTERPOL has placed Iranian agents on its "most-wanted" list for the 1994 bombing of an Argentine synagogue/Jewish center; Iran is the primary backer of Israeli soldier-abducting/Jewish settlement-bombing Hezbollah in South Lebanon; and Iran provides IEDs to Shi'ite militants in Iraq.
Tain't nothing "peaceful" about Iran's machinations these days. Again, only a dumbass would think otherwise. (Sorry, Press Counselor Mohammadi.) ((Sorry, sorry American Conservitive agazine.))
