| EU Big Three to consult on Ahmadinejad remarks | |
| 2005-10-29 | |
| Inflammatory remarks by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the existence of Israel have moved the French government to consult with European allies on the future of negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear programme, a foreign ministry spokesman said Friday in Paris. Ahmadinejad's comments that Israel must be "wiped off the map" are "a new and important element", Jean-Francois Mattei told journalists. "It is obviously an element we must take into account. We cannot pretend as if this element did not exist."
France, Germany and Britain have led negotiations with Iran about stopping its uranium enrichment process, which many fear is being used by Tehran's radical leaders to develop a nuclear bomb. On Thursday, Israeli Foreign Minister Sylvan Shalom said in Paris that Iran may only be six months away from having a nuclear weapon and that its leaders wanted to use it to "destroy the state of Israel". | |

| #4 The French govt knows exactly what the Iranian President means about wiping Israel off the map. The Iranian Prez is on a roll, and he is rubbing the EUniks noses in it. He KNOWS that the EUniks will do nothing. Hell, they could not even clean up the mess in in their neighborhood (i.e., former Yugoslavia), so what does anyone expect? The EUniks sold their souls out for oil and contracts a long time ago with Iran. They will badmouth the US and Israel and will then beg for our help in the end. The MMs are like Kimmie with wealth. They will threaten and play everyone for fools. This game is for keeps. |
