Iran President criticizes US double standard in terror campaign Tehran, Oct 28, IRNA - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that the United States' double standard in international campaign against terrorism is the reason for its inaction towards Kurdish rebels who launch attacks against Turkey from northern Iraq. The president made the comment in a phone conversation with Turkish President Abdullah Gul. Turkey said it would not hesitate to send troops across the Iraqi border if needed to pursue the rebels of Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Saturday, "Whenever an operation is needed to be carried out, we will do that. We do not need to ask anything from anyone for that." President Ahmadinejad also made phone calls to Iraqi President Jalal Talabani and Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki Saturday night to offer his country's help in mediating the crisis and he met Sunday with Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan. Ahmadinejad, in his call with Gul, lashed out at the US occupation of Iraq, suggesting it was the root cause of Turkey's problems with the rebels. "Occupiers have prepared ground for disunity and are supporting terrorists through their double standard policies." Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, after meeting with Babacan Sunday, said he suspected the United States had "behind the scene agreements" that made them reluctant to contain the PKK rebels. "Nevertheless, I am hoping the United States will correct their ways and help with campaign against terrorism in the region," Mottaki said. Mottaki said that Ahmadinejad, in his call to the Iraqi leaders, "expressed his concern about terrorist acts taking place in the region and stressed the need to find a solution."

I spent the better part of the day retrieving a petition that was circulated in four different cities in Tennessee, this petition was in regards to Nancy Pelosi resigning her post as Speaker of the House. My oldest son and i rode half the day and about 200 miles to collect the petition, so that by the first of November it could be delivered to Ms Pelosi in her San Francisco office.
The most amazing thing during this whole petition venture was the fact that many of the people we talked to didn't even know who Pelosi was,and didn't know what Speaker of the House consisted of.
On the way back home from Portland Tn. my son made the remark that he thought we were wasting our time and efforts for a cause that we have already lost, and to some degree i tend to agree with him.
Our nations founders fought, and many died, against an opressive government just for the hope of freedom, now we have a lazy, craven peoples, that would give this nation to the same type of tyrants because they don't have the strength or courage to resist these criminals,they just except what they think they can't change,and feel like they can vote themselves out from under opression, i fear that they have a very rude awakening coming.
And now i have started to wonder if we even deserve our freedom, what have we done to maintain it?

Pelosi is an idiot, she is trying to get another nation pissed at the US by dredging up some crap thats 92 years in the past, the stupid bitch should be working on the problems we have today instead of worring about what happened at the beginning of the last century!
Pelosi and Reid in just a short time have done more damage to the Democratic party name than all the Republican's combined.
Since becoming the Democratic leaders, those two have done absolutely nothing, and now its time for her to shut up..
READ ON.
During the First World War, the Ottoman Turks might or might not have committed genocide. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, along with her Armenian-American constituents in California, believes they did. And they want Congress to pass a resolution saying so.

So what's the problem with this? Well I will tell you.

The problem is modern-day Turkey's feelings are now officially hurt.

And while it is the only legitimate Middle-Eastern democracy among Islamic states, the bastion of freedom and the model American disciple in the region - the prodigal son or teacher's pet, if you will - surrounded by potentially hostile monarchies and dictatorships, the last thing we want to do is hurt its feelings.

Especially when its government is mobilizing troops along the Iraqi border and threatening to invade in order to quell Kurdish separatists and retaliate against the PKK, a Kurdish terrorist group that has been accused of attacking inside Turkey.

Critics of Pelosi's symbolic resolution of century-old history said bad timing. Others said really bad timing.

But whether you're for or against her entirely nonbinding decree, one thing is clear: Iraq is well on its way from being a "nightmare with no end in sight," as Retired U.S. Army Gen. Ricardo Sanchez recently described it, to whatever comes after that on the s--- scale.

If the Turks were to invade, America would be faced with an interesting dilemma. Do we intervene? We are nation-building here and we can't have other countries undermining our efforts. Especially when they're our allies.

To make matters worse, Turkey is home to Incirlik, a large and strategically crucial air base used as a staging area for American and British troops as well as to route supplies into Iraq. Access to this base would more than likely be in jeopardy should the U.S. be forced to intervene amid a Turkish invasion.

The Armenians, meanwhile, have been pushing for passage of the genocide bill for years.

House Resolution 106 was co-authored by a fellow Democrat and statesman of Pelosi's, Rep. Adam Schiff of California's 29th district, which is home to the country's largest Armenian community, according to The Washington Post.

Not surprisingly, the president has been an outspoken critic of the proclamation and said Congress is merely wasting its time.

"Congress has more important work to do than antagonizing a democratic ally in the Muslim world, especially one that's providing vital support for our military every day," George W. Bush said at a recent press conference.

And for what has to be the first time in seven years, I agree with the man.

For a group of men and women to actually have lower national approval ratings than both Bush and Dick Cheney - as our current Congress incredibly does - one would logically assume Capitol Hill would be planning ahead rather than looking back 92 years solely to label events of the past.

Turkish parliament, meanwhile, voted by an overwhelming majority to authorize troops to enter Iraq late last week. Whether or not they will remains to be seen.

After being asked by a reporter if the government should ask permission before invading, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is quoted as saying, "Without asking or receiving permission, the U.S. traveled thousands of kilometers to hit Iraq," he said. "No one should give us any advice."

Subject: Hope is not a method.
Right now the progressive movement's main strategy for preventing war with Iran is simply to hope that it doesn't happen.
This war would be a catastrophe, and it may be imminent. So we're proposing a major campaign stop it. Can you chip in$25?

Dear MoveOn member,

To be honest, I don't even like to think about the possibility of war with Iran. But here's the unfortunate truth—plans for an aerial attack have been drawn up.1 There's nothing stopping Bush from launching that attack any day. And right now the progressive movement's main strategy for preventing it is simply to hope that it doesn't happen.

To paraphrase my ninth-grade sex-ed teacher, "Hope is not a method." We need to do something. There are increasing indications that war with Iran may be imminent. And experts agree it would be a catastrophe.

So today we're proposing a major campaign to expose the danger of a new war with Iran (see below for details). It'll cost about $200,000, and if we can raise the money, we'll start today. Can you chip in $25?

**********************************************************************
War would be a disaster. Military officials who've gamed-out a war with Iran say it's a very, very bad idea. "Iran would hit back against US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan and activate terrorist allies in the Middle East, further destabilizing a region already struggling with two major wars."2 US troops in the region, Israelis and American civilians abroad and at home would all be at risk.
**********************************************************************

And it's a real possibility. For months, there's been a stream of leaks and revelations by former Bush administration officials that paint a scary picture: Vice President Cheney and the neocons are quietly maneuvering us toward war with Iran—just as they did with Iraq.

Now, the New York Times reports that Freedom's Watch, a $200 million propaganda machine headed by former White House insiders, has started to press for an attack.
And this past week, Bush and Cheney upped the ante with aggressive statements, even invoking the specter of "World War III."

Observers across the political spectrum, from Senator John McCain to former Middle East envoy Dennis Ross, say the threat is closer than it appears. And it's never a good idea to underestimate this president's capacity for recklessness.

We can't run the risk that they're crazy enough to do it. That's why it's so important that we make sure policymakers understand the cost of war, and we pressure Congress not to roll over on Iran. If we can raise the money today, here's what we'll do:

There has been speculation in Iran following Larijani's remarks that Putin has asked Tehran to at least give in to a temporary suspension in return for Moscow's support.

The Iranian president added that he "expected" the Russians to complete the joint nuclear power plant in Bushehr, indicating that no guarantee was given by Putin on the plant's completion in southern Iran which is already eight years behind schedule.

IRANIAN MINDSET Back to Full Blog


the Iranian Pres. Ahmadinejad in a letter to Bush accused him of portraying Iran's nuclear program as a threat to Israel.
well what the hell does he expect,everytyime anyone mentions any action against Iran he threatens to attack Israel.
in his letter he say's that the world is tired of corruption and poverty and have joined an ever-increasing global hatred of American government. well he got that right!
what the whole letter expresses is mainly focused on religion,and any government that is based on religion cannot be swayed to except any other form of government.
Russian Pres.Putin has said that Russia is the best friend that the
islamic world has,thats because they attempt to suppress all religions,Iran hates christians and jews.
Scott McClellan said Tuesday,the international community is concerned about Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons. the battle lines are being drawn.
the Europeas nations have offered a package to give Iran low-grade
uranium for fuel...they refused.they intend to build nuclear weapons.
that leaves the U.S in a tough position,if we attack Iran they will attack back, and Israel as well as the U.S. will have to defend their own turf. and this is going to happen!
if you ever wondered what hell looks like, very soon you will get a view of it.

The first part of this post is an email i received today from MoveOn, seems that they are finally catching up to me on the war with Iran! where the hell have they been?
I made a comment to them when i did this post, and have made contribution to various endeavors, however never to a political campaign.

You read the "World War III" remark that Bush made, does anyone understand that W W III has already began, why do you think Putin was in Iran? He has supported Iran from the beginning!
Can Iran and Russia defeat the US in this war? certainly!
You must remember that they watched the 9/11 and Katrina, and realize that if 19 so called terrorist and a hurricane can put this nation in chaos, what would we do in the event of several similar attacks at the same time?
Our president is just idiotic enough to attack Iran,and Putin will back Iran!

War crimes defined!

Under the Nuremberg Principles, the supreme international crime is that of commencing a war of aggression, because it is the crime from which all war crimes follow. The definition of such a crime is planning, preparing, initiating, or waging a war of aggression, or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements, or assurances. Also, participating in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any such act constitutes such a crime.

International Criminal Court

On July 1, 2002, the International Criminal Court, a treaty-based court located in The Hague, came into being for the prosecution of war crimes committed on or after that date. However, several nations, most notably the United States, China, and Israel, have criticized the court, refused to participate in it or permit the court to have jurisdiction over their citizens. Note, however, that a citizen of one of the 'objector nations' could still find himself before the Court if he were accused of committing war crimes in a country that was a state party, regardless of the fact that their country of origin was not a signatory.

War crimes are defined in the statute that established the International Criminal Court, which includes:


Grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions, such as:

Willful killing, or causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health

Torture or inhumane treatment

Unlawful wanton destruction or appropriation of property

*Forcing a prisoner of war to serve in the forces of a hostile power

Depriving a prisoner of war of a fair trial

Unlawful deportation, confinement or transfer

Taking hostages

As you read the above note it is well documented that the present administration has comitted all those acts except the one marked. *
