Rumsfeld knows nothing about Middle East, Iraq: Iran
Iran denied Tuesday it was allowing militants to cross its border into Iraq, saying allegations to the contrary from US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld only showed he was "incapable of understanding Iraq or the Middle East", a foreign news agency reported. Thatâs very "unhelpful" of them. âIran has always worked towards security and stability in Iraq, which is important for security in the region as a whole,â foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said. Then his lips fell off... âThe Islamic Republic of Iran will not allow any group to use its border to enter Iraq, and we will act against anything illegal,â he added. "ken u han be mi ips? âanks." Asefi said it was âsurprising that the American defence minister is so incapable of understanding Iraq or the region.â Well, he sure knew what button to push. Posted by: Steve 2004-02-24 |
