| Islamic Jihad leader says Rice visit to prepare for strike on Iran |
| 2007-03-26 |
| A senior Islamic Jihad leader said on Saturday that U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's visit to the Middle East that starts today, meant to rally support for attacking Iran or Hezbollah. "We think this visit comes as part of preparations for war targeting Iran or Hezbollah... and maybe to strike an Arab country, " Khaled al-Batsh of the Islamic Jihad told reporters in Gaza. Rice began a four-day tour to the region where she will meet with Egyptian, Jordanian, Israeli and Palestinian leaders. "Rice's visit also comes to put pressure on the Arab leaders to change the Arab peace initiative, especially the right of return of the Palestinian refugees," al-Batsh said. Palestinian and Arab officials expressed rejection to any change in the Arab peace initiative. |

| #3 "Islamic Jihad leader says Rice visit to prepare for strike on Iran" In a perfect world, yes; but the world isn't perfect. Experience suggests she's merely making the rounds on yet another fool's mission seeking "Middle East peace". |

| #2 Why would she see the Palestinians about this? I'm guessing they're in Iran's corner all the way. Am I wrong? They're bankrolling a lot of this it would seem. As for the other players like Egypt, Jordan,and Israel, I'll bet they've had an understanding on this one for quite a while now. BTW: Palestinian and Arab officials expressed rejection to any change in the Arab peace initiative Obviously. |

| #1 As before, BOLTON > ONLY DEMOCRATIC REGIME CHANGE CAN PREVENT IRAN FROM HAVING NUCLEAR WEAPONS. As vv SADDAM, the UNO's credibility is once again at stake, it is doubtful Radical Iran will cease attempting to dev or acquire nuke weapons capability, and nobody wants a Nuclear-armed, hegemony-minded/centric Radical Iran. WAFF.com > Poster > WAR AGZ IRAN MAY BE ONLY A FEW MONTHS AWAY. |
