Syria-Lebanon-Iran

Syria and Iran vow unity against US plots

2007-02-18

Close allies President Bashar al-Assad of Syria and his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday pledged they would work together to confront US and Israeli plots in the Middle East. Assad had earlier arrived in Iran for a two day visit aimed at further bolstering already robust ties, his second trip to the Islamic republic since Ahmadinejad took power in August 2005.

We should cooperate and work to make the public aware of the sinister aims of the United States and the Zionists

The two men, both under fire from the United States for their countries alleged meddling in the region, warned against the dangers of disunity between Sunni and Shiite Muslims, in particular in multi-confessional Lebanon and Iraq.

We should cooperate and work to make the public aware of the sinister aims of the United States and the Zionists, Assad said in his meeting with Ahmadinejad, according to the state-run IRNA agency. Iran and Syria support the peoples of the region and the enemies will only reach their goals by creating pessimism and disunity amongst Muslims, he added.

Ahmadinejad agreed that we should be careful about the enemies efforts to create division and conflict amongst Muslims and make sure they do not reach their sinister goals. Under the current conditions it is necessary that Islamic countries preserve their vigilance, unity and wisdom to prevent the establishment of new conspiracies, he added.

Accompanied by Foreign Minister Walid Muallem and Vice President Faruq al-Shara, Assad also met former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. He is scheduled also to meet supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Creating conflict between Shiites and Sunnis in Iraq and Lebanon is the final card that America and its allies have... they try to cover their failure with false propaganda, Assad told Rafsanjani.

#20 TW, my aim is purely to please and possibly illuminate, dear lady.

#19 FOTSGreg, you are just so cute when you do dialect!And you switch so beautifully between that and the language of the groves of academe.. but then I'm sure poor Mr. Arabi wouldn't be able to follow you there. Not really. There are those who've attended classes, after all, and those who have benefitted from the experience. My parents used to bemoan that simple fact, back in the day, as do two of my siblings about their own students now.

Those "sinister" aims - to live in peace with everyone, to provide for their families, to make a better life for their children, and to live as they please. They're so hard to reconcile with Islam, aren't they? Both idiots should be taken out and chained to a post in the noonday sun - for about a month.

#16 I disagree with my friends above, I think arabi is mooselimb and has just been in the U.S. a long time, riding the good life and hating us for what we made, he enjoys, and his bretheren moonbats cannot make anyplace where their disgusting, peodphile inspired religion rules.
If you feel so jihadi asshat, catch a flight back and join the fray, I think there is plenty of 5.56 to go around. Or do you plan to stay here and be the subversive you feel more comfortable being. Typical lion of islam, hiding and sniping.....

#15 "English, please"

The numbers I posted are our friend arabi's IP address. If you go to a place like www.dnsstuff.com and look up that address, you can see approximately where he is posting from. In this case, it appears to be out of Tempe, Arizona, unless I'm reading the information all wrong.

#10 Mods, just where is "Arabi" posting from?

#9 I'm with FOTSGreg. "Arabi" is not a Muzzi, just a moonbat---and, probably, an American one (EUros don't make red/blue distinctions).

#7 Heck, boy! Even the Vietnamese love America again.

If'n ar former en'mies can come to love us, why, we can't be all bad now, can we?

Be watchin' fer ya'll.

BTW, ya'll don't sound so arabi to me's. Ya'll sounds more like a educated man. Maybe a might bit Yankee even.

"Just once, I'd like t' shoot at a educated man."

#6 Speaking for rednecks everywhere, if we were in charge of this thing I can assure you Iraq and Iran would be much quieter and flatter than now. Beware, Redneck Nation has not yet awakened.

#5 Poor Mr. Arabi isn't as worldly as he thinks. Mr.Wife just returned yesterday from a 10-day jaunt round Asia, and was welcomed everywhere with friendly faces and open arms, although all knew not only is he American, but employed by an American company. He's been doing this in various parts of the world since 1985, originally the Muslim world actually, from Turkey to Saudi Arabia to Egypt to Morocco, and has never experienced this hatred Mr. Arabi seems so sure exists. But perhaps that's because he deals with the more educated and successful strata of the societies in which he has been, in comparison to poor Mr. Arabi -- factory workers, for instance. Presidents and middle managers as well, of course, but I suspect Mr. Arabi will never have to worry about knowing the thoughts of such as those.

#4 Hey guys, I think the 'Burg has a new chew-toy!
Enjoy... I'm thinking this one will only last a day or so, so have fun while you can!

#3 And your leader is much better?

The only country currently at war in 2 different places and climbing. You think you have friends? Go overseas. Come to the middle east, even Europe. Tell people you are American, see what they will do to your redneck ignorant ass.

Ahmedinajad is a great man. I praise him and hope that he has the courage to stand up to you dumb ignorant selfish bastards. Maybe you will even get nuked... Better watch out for those kiddys you have running around Iraq... About 140K now? Hmm... I wonder what kind of target that would present...

You guys are so dumb. You are INVITING more 9/11's. Afghanistan was one thing, but Iran, Syria, Iraq... had nothing to do with it.

#2 I love it these Baathists never quite have the temerity to go for the full mini-Hitler mustache. Dictator of Iraq, Syria, it does not matter; some tiny spark in there knows what they are doing is not only evil but pathetic.

#1 Ahmadinejad should go back to beating prisoners; he would feel better and not be as likely to say embarrassingly stupid things. No plots are needed to defeat evil intentions and evil empires, just standing up to them does it every time.
