Iran on Tuesday denied involvement in killing US soldiers in Iraq, rejecting allegations that it supplies deadly explosives to insurgents attacking Americans in the conflict-torn country.
"The Islamic republic has no role in killing American soldiers in Iraq," Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency.
"The American government lies to its citizens in this regard," he added.
I have no reason to find the Iranians especially honest, but I have hundreds of examples of the Bush administration lying to me.
So if I had to choose who to believe I would not hesitate to choose the Iranians.
Now I could be wrong, they in fact might be completely full of shit.
But we know how hard the White House is working to make the case for attacking Iran. And with that in mind how can we take any accusation they make seriously?
And once again this just makes me sad that I live in a country in which every other world leader appears more honest then mine. I wonder what it feels like to be proud of who you are, and where you come from?
Hi there,
ReplyDeletethe Iranian regime has been trying very hard to reach out to the US and to resume diplomatic relationship. This has been a consistent policy of the Iranian state since 1998.
The evidence for that: helping Americans with Afghanistan, helping with Saddam, and repeatedly offering to help US in Iraq.
Therefore, it is obvious that they (iranians) will not jeopardize and risk an attack on Iran by killing soldiers here and there. It doesn't make sense even for a shrewed regime as IRI to do so.
Who are teh ones who WANT American soldiers killed in the name of Iran?
Obviously the Israelis and their zionist supporters in the US. But less obviously, a group of terrorist Iranians (on US black list for killing Americans in the 70s, and on Iranian black list for killing the prime minister and teh president of Iran (and many others) in the 80s). This groups is called MEK: mojahedin-e khalgh. This groups is currently under protection by the US, in Iraq. This grooup is the one who is providing "intelligence" about Iran and Bush gets his quotes from them: TERRORISTS, who are deeply hated in Iran, because these people have raised arms against innocent Iranians, have joined Saddam in invasion of IRan, and have dared to "elect" a stupid "president in exile" and presenting themselves as an alternative to the Iranian regime, in the eyes of the US.
You are correct to not trust Bush.
