| Iran: U.S., Israel Destroyed Iraqi Shrine |
| 2006-02-23 |
| Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blamed the United States and Israel on Thursday for the destruction of a Shiite shrine's golden dome in Iraq, saying it was the work of "defeated Zionists and occupiers." Makes me think he's involved. Speaking to a crowd of thousands on a tour of southwestern Iran, the president referred to the destruction of the Askariya mosque dome in Samarra on Wednesday, which the Iraqi government has blamed on insurgents. "They invade the shrine and bomb there because they oppose God and justice," Ahmadinejad said, referring to the U.S.-led multinational forces in Iraq. Round up the usual suspects. "These passive activities (sic) are the acts of a group of defeated Zionists and occupiers who intended to hit our emotions," he said in a speech that was broadcast on state television. Addressing the United States, he added: "You have to know that such an act will not save you from the anger of Muslim nations." |

| #3 Additional thought. this was the shrine of the 12th (hidden) Imam. the one Mahmoud believes lives in the well - his greatest hero and who coming he is hastening. He wants his planned mosque to be the greatest and most holy. this is soooo right up his ally. Need proof real fast of his meddling. |

| #2 Mamhoud's in this up to his rolling eyes. The whole cartoon thing was dying down too fast. All the guile of a 2 year old. |

| #1 Yes, the 10 armed Arabs with swarthy complexions who entered the building, were actually white Texans with shoe polish on their faces, and training in the local lingo. can't put anything past Iran. |
