| 'Queen of war' Rice, Bush must be tried at Int'l court: Iran's intelligence minister |
| 2005-03-13 |
| An Iranian minister called US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice 'the queen of war and violence' who must be hauled to the International Court of Justice along with President George W. Bush for their crimes around the world. "Mrs. Rice herself is a sponsor of terrorism and many crimes in Iraq, Palestine and other countries are being committed with her complicity. "If justice was to be done, Rice, Bush and their coteries should have been tried at the International Court of Justice," Intelligence inister Ali Younessi said. His statements came in response to Rice's last month remarks about Tehran, accusing the Islamic Republic of terrorism. "Mrs. Rice is the queen of war and violence...her remarks are not new and whenever she has found a podium she has said these hings," Younessi added. In a dramatic change of tactics, Washington offered Friday to allow Iran to begin talks on joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) and consider letting it buy civilian airline parts as part of incentives to Tehran over its nuclear cooperation. But Younessi rejected the offer as 'ridiculous and an insult to the great Iranian nation'. "The American authorities who have asked us to ignore our legitimate and obvious rights in return for the supply of few airplane parts which is their obligation must apologize to the Islamic Republic," he said. The intelligence minister stated that the offer was in line with the US policy 'to despise the Iranian nation'. Washington accuses Iran of seeking to build atomic bombs with its nuclear program, which Tehran insists is aimed at power generation. The new US stance is a change from Washington's previous hardline position that Iran deserves no reward even though the country allows snap inspection of its nuclear facilities by the UN experts. But Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said neither threats nor incentives would alter Iran's determination to develop peaceful nuclear technology. Iran is in the midst of negotiations with the Europeans to find a solution to the standoff, but several officials have lined up in recent days to warn that Tehran might be forced to abandon the diplomatic process if pressed too far. The key sticking point in the negotiations is uranium enrichment which Tehran has suspended as a confidence-building gesture since last November, but the country insists that it cannot be cajoled to sustain the suspension for good. The Europeans, represented by Germany, France and Britain, have been pressing the Islamic Republic on this in return for a package of incentives. Iran's pointsman on nuclear issues, Hassan Rowhani, sounded upbeat Thursday, describing the talks as 'successful'. "Our negotiations with the European sides on the country's nuclear technology have been successful so far," Rowhani, who is the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, said in the southern city of Shiraz. The also official also blamed western media for a flurry of misgivings which remain in the air about Iran's nuclear intentions. "The enemies of the Islamic Republic, with their malicious propaganda against us, have created fear among the world countries. "Basically, we are not after a conquest; rather, we are after friendship, good neighborliness as well as detente and we believe wars, animosity and skirmishes lead the country to backwardness," Rowhani said. How can we expect that they won't build nuclear weapons when they speak like this? When they speak of peaceful nuclear technology, they really mean nuclear deterents against invasion. Iran thinks their playing the EU for suckers, they're trying to get as many incentives as they can, just like North Korea did, in the 90's, then went ahead with development. And say what can ya do about it? |

#17 (Low) Intelligence minister Ali Younessi...  You look like a nothing more than a generic Magic Persian Mullah, so listen up...dumbf**k... Remember this man? :  This was Sheik Yasin before he was hit directly by a missile after delivering an incendiary address in the Gaza Strip. His followers were then trying to gather enough pieces of smoldering brain, fingertips, and toes to bury, since there was nothing left in the middle. Keep your thoughts to yourself of who needs what before the International Court of Injustice, and you may have a longer life...Otherwise if you threaten us...It might be CIA, special forces, or who knows what, the USA likes exchanges of information with the Joooooooooz, so we are familliar with what is now called the YASSIN PROCEDURE... We just dispense friendly advice here... |

| #15 With this statement from the popularly elected leaders of Iran, I sense the beginning of a dialogue. Good start. Statement of positions were made frankly and emphatically. We have something to build upon. [/diplospeak moonbattery] |

| #12 Notice the sexist allan-worshipper cannot handle the idea of an elected, hard-working woman? a) a queen is born to her position and makes arbitrary decisions based on her own will. Condi worked her way up from the bottom, with skills and intelligence and education. b) a queen doesn't do the hard work herself, others do it for her. Condi did the hard yards all by herself. c) she isn't a mrs! She did is a single woman, doing it for herself and her country. hard for an Islamist prehistoric to understand. Don't want to make any public statements about it either in case their domestic slaves get a hint and try to escape to the Great Satan to have a life of their own. Women in the middle east are worse off than blacks were in South Africa under apartheid, but where's the outrage? Where's the t-shirts with slogans? Where are the left-wing protests? |

| #9 "Queen of War and Violence" -- excellent title. Let's hope Condi lives up to it where Iran is concerned. Imagine trying to negotiate with these maniacs. You'd have to be a Euroweenian (good term, Spot) to begin to take it seriously. Just a charade we have to go through before taking effective action -- which we will be in deep trouble if we don't do before Iran has nukes. |

| #5 "Queen of War" sounds like a compliment to me. Sounds like a good bumper sticker, too: "Condi 'Queen of War' Rice -- 2008". |

| #4 Good to see that the American Left and Islamic Right are still of the same mindset. Wonder if the Left wants to join the 'Axis of Evil'? |

| #3 No fair that the "Queen of War" gets better and more lethal toys to play with than the Lions of Islam™. It's all so humiliating! |

| #2 Someone should tell this bozo that it is Ms. Rice and that if he pushes his luck, he won't have any equipment left when he meets his 72 virgins and that that may happen sooner than he expected. Queen of War will do as a title until January of 2009 when she trades it in for President. |

| #1 Our negotiations with the European sides on the country’s nuclear technology have been successful so far Lol - for Iran sure, they've gained valuable time and given the Euroweenians nothing. |
