| Mashaal: ME conference US 'distraction' to prepare war against Iran |
| 2007-11-06 |
| The leader of Hamas on Monday dismissed a US-sponsored Mideast peace conference planned for later this year, saying it was meant to distract the region as Washington prepared for an attack against Iran. He also warned Palestinian leaders against making concessions to Israel during the meeting. "Strategically, it (the US) is setting the stage and covering up for the upcoming American war in the region," Khaled Mashaal told a press conference at a forum of Palestinian intellectuals in Damascus, where the political chief of the Palestinian faction has his headquarters. "There are preparations for an aggression against Iran, and could include other parties - Syria, Lebanon and Hizbullah. Therefore, America is distracting us with a false game and is preparing itself for the real one," he said. |

| #8 Keeping tabs on Gaza, Khaled? Watching it on Damascus Action News every night? Heading back anytime soon, "freedom fighter", or are you satisfied with the title of Biggest Jihadi Weenie Boy in The Middle East? |

| #7 With Obama modeling himself in the image and style of Abraham Lincoln, "W" knows that all though he would "walk softly and carry that Big Stick", America is harder to swallow putting a black man in the number one chair; Hillary on the other hand has greater than a 50/50 chance of not 'pushing the button' as regarding the Iranian crisis. The only way to trump that would be to preempt November, and by my estimates, atleast by March 2008!! |

| #5 And why would we need to distract him? Somebody like George Bush needs to explain to him that the peace conference is not a "false game", it's his last chance for course adjustment before our State Department totally loses its influence at the White House and payment comes due for all those Hamas rocket and suicide attacks on Israel. George Bush is going to be able to say that he gave diplomacy a fair chance before the U.S. stomped Iran and Israel stomped Gaza and Syria. |

| #4 Joe, Holmes doesn't want to come here. The recent auction prices for meteorites has plummeted. I suggest it go directly to Tehran or Qum. |

| #2 FREEREPUBLIC/TOPIX > IRAN > US GLOBAL ARROGANCE RENDERED IMPOTENT IN CONFRONTATION. Piety + belief in God-Islam has made Iran = Iranian people the superior over America and any obstacle. * I hope the Vatican, Mullahocracy, + world is closely watching COMET HOLMES, as it is a true MARIAN EVENT/WARNING - the risk to Earth stems NOT [somuch]from the destabilization and partition/split-up of Holmes' rocky core, but on how its exit journey past Mars, Jupiter, etc. is affected = altered by the gravitational forces-dynamics of Earth's planetary neighbors. I can say much more buts its personal. |
