Iraq
Iran accuses US troops of 'standing idle' during Baghdad killings
2006-11-25
Iran claims US troops stood idle while “terrorist and savage action”, was being committed in Baghdad, news agency IRNA said Friday.
It's probably because we don't care. We went in to liberate the country from Sammy and his mob, and discovered that a large part of the country was populated by savages. Where's the skin off our fore if they kill and eat each other?
Iran “strongly condemns the wave of bombings in the Shiite Sadr City and considers it a terrorist and savage action which was carried out while the American troops were standing idle,” Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini was quoted as saying by the state news agency. “The occupation and the insecurity which emanates from it has caused continual damage to the Iraqi people, and they have no other choice but to pay its inhuman price,” he added.

#7  Can we take that as an open invitation to bomb the crap out of supply lines leading back into IRAN proper?

Please?

Must be some of their agents people getting hammered. The Iraqis must've finally targeted the right suspects. Sorta echos the 'outrage' by British representatives when the Americans hammered the natives in the Northwest Territories whom the English had been supplying arms and encouragement to impede the settlement of the land.

#5  Well, Iran's certainly not "standing idle". They're shipping nutjobs and explosives in as fast as they can make them.

Butchering our own people to justify our happy horseshit isn't a one-man job, America! Pitch in & help ruin Iraq! You bought it, you break it!

#2  I doubt it.

In any case, we agree on something: Sitting idly by while you have the power to stop pointless carnage is bad. Inciting it for evil ends then sitting idly by is worse, don't you think?

#1  This entire Iraq scenario - updated with Baker and Iran as talking partners - is getting rich...I don't believe "Dr. Strangelove" was any more bizarre than the current cast of characters/nations/savage entities...
