IRANIAN SOURCE REPORTS PLOT TO ATTACK U.S. NUKE
2005-01-29
Congress has been pressing the U.S. intelligence community to investigate claims by an Iranian defector that Teheran planned to crash an airliner into a nuclear reactor in the United States. Several members of Congress were said to have been alarmed by the information and one has met with CIA senior officials to press for an investigation. So far, the CIA has refused to question the Iranian defector, a former senior official in the 1970s. Rep. Curt Weldon, vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, has met the unidentified defector several times in Paris over the last 22 months. Weldon said the defector has been accurate in predicting several important developments in the Iranian regime since February 2003. The developments were said to have included those in Iran's nuclear weapons programs and support for Al Qaida. The informant, dubbed Ali, was said to have been in contact with two dissidents in the inner circle of the Islamic republic. They were said to have reported a secret government directive by Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei who presided over the nation's strategic weapons programs and financed and controlled groups deemed terrorists.

#17  There are two factors at work in many cultures: one is Islam, the other is Arab tribalism. Together they have, in many places, left people with both inflated pride and dangerously poor skills for coping in the modern world.

The result is an attitude like Melika's - that Muslims are being attacked around the world.

I haven't heard Melika write about the genocide by Muslims against black Christians and animists in the Sudan. I haven't heard Melika acknowledge that in the US Muslims are free to worship as they choose -- but that in most Muslim countries, Christians are either forbidden to worship openly or physically attacked and often killed.

Bulldog is right, Melika -- much as it may hurt your pride desperately to admit it. I've been in the Middle East and I've dealt with Arab men. They are dangerously out of touch, in many cases, with reality. Their demands that they be respected without EARNING that respect work at home, and perhaps in places like Holland -- but it won't work here. We fight back.

#15  Melika...you would do well to take Bulldog's message to heart. Islam has lined up against the entire world and is headed for the Mother of All Smackdowns™.
Also...do not fear the Lizard People. They do not dislike Moose-limbs. On the contrary - they consider them......savory.

#14  that Noble and Intelligent people could not deny Muslims are being attacked in every corner of the World-either verbally or physically-

Ahhh, yes, they felt threatened on 9/11 because some were glared at.

We're Americans, you have any idea how tough it is to be one? Glared at is the least of our problems. It should be so easy.

And if they're so noble and intelligent, then they should have learned by now not to kill or threaten to kill US AND they should be turning them in to the authorities.

But....they're not so noble or intelligent yet.

It's easy, they stop attacking US, we stop attacking them.

A child understands consequences if corrected enough, yet they still don't get it.

#11  Melika honestly, you can't equate the Biblical benevolence of an Epyptian Pharoah to the modern political siuation. Israel has been attacked 3 times since 1948. Two of those times it was almost history for them. Nixon dismantled half the armor we had in Germany to prevent a Soviet invasion and sent it to Jooos while they hung on by their toenails. Muslims hate Jews and they long for the days of the gas chambers when Lutherans did their dirty work for them. I srael's denial of a nuclear program is laughable and the internment of Vananu is even more ridiculous. But look at it from this persepective - the nukes have not been a reason for Israel to try to destabilize the region, invade it's neighbors and set up Zionist Empires. They have been an effective deterrent so they can live their lives in Peace. Iran can't wait to get nukes so they can pound Israel to dust. Khomeini will take the counterstrike from Israel because he encourages his people to maytrdom anyhow. Let's get it right here - the Muslims are the bad guys and we are the good guys. It's clear cut, I don't understand this sympathy for people trying to kill us. Was Hitler not the enemy? How about Stalin or Mao - these people have an ideology which wants all those that don't toe the mark to be killed or converted. There is no free thought only their way or a ditch. Stop applying the freedoms that so many good Americans died to give us to people in the world that will use your freedom of thought against you. Nukes in the hands of mad men - they make movies about this stuff.

#8  Your noble and intelligent people are anti-Semites and liars, Melika.

Israel does not spout genocidal rhetoric like Iran and has never threatened to wage unprovoked and preemptive unilateral nuclear war on its neighbours. Iran's catchphrase "Death to America" and its constant threats against Israel, the US and the West in general do not lead genuinely noble and intelligent people to believe that nuclear weapons would be safe in the hand of such irresponsible, aggressive and ignorantly superstitious sociopaths as the Iranian mullahs. Iran currently is a barbaric terrorist state. As such it cannot be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.

Muslims are being attacked in every corner of the World

A total inversion of reality, moron. Tell me who was raping and murdering school children at Beslan. Tell me who cut the throats of innocent passengers and crew on the flights on 9/11 before using the aircraft to kill thousands more. Tell me who shoots Sudanese villagers from horseback in Darfur. Tell me who murders the critics of Islam, now, on the streets of Europe. Your Islam is despised and regarded as a bloody death cult by increasing numbers of people around the world. It turns its adherents into unthinking slaves and spreads itself through violence - which is why the majority of the world's terrorist organisations are commiting murder in the name of your Allah. It is neither intelligent nor noble to support or believe unquestioningly in a metamorphosed moon god and be part of a community responsible for so much human misery.

#7  It's because muslims are the favorite prey of the Liazrd People! Sidebar for Melika, don't trust the Farraday Cage.

#6  But perhaps you have read somewhere that Iran's nuclear programme is a peaceful project? You shouldn't believe everything you read. The people who write such things are bad. They think you are stupid.
Could you tell me so Intelligent Bulldog what about the Israel nuclear programme- maybe you could indicate to me an intelligent source of learning-it should be of course in conformity of what the USA-ISRAEL want the world to know in spite of the eyes piercing realities- that Noble and Intelligent people could not deny Muslims are being attacked in every corner of the World-either verbally or physically- and always a good reason is found to justify the deeds - in fact they represent a potential enemy of Israel but Israel forgets it own history: Pharaon has slaughtered the Sons of Israel because of a premonitory dream that one of them will be the cause of his ruin- but as you know his dream was realised in spite of his precautions and thanks to his own care(he brought up Moses )

#5  WE ARE GOING TO READ A LOT ABOUT IRAN SO THAT THE USA-ISRAEL PLANNED OFFENSIVE ATTACKS ARE JUSTIFIED

Reading is one of the ways that we learn, Melika. It's good to read. It's even better to read something other than anti-American and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, as peddled by Le Monde and Liberation. But perhaps you have read somewhere that Iran's nuclear programme is a peaceful project? You shouldn't believe everything you read. The people who write such things are bad. They think you are stupid.

#4  You're right Melika! We are all in the pay of Zionist Lizards from Meltran! We will crush you and take away your cap locks key.

#3  YES OF COURSE NOW WE ARE GOING TO READ A LOT ABOUT IRAN SO THAT THE USA-ISRAEL PLANNED OFFENSIVE ATTACKS ARE JUSTIFIED LIKE WE USED TO READ AND HEAR ABOUT IRAQ AND ITS THREATENING WEAPONS.
