| Mubarak: 'Iran wants to devour the Arab world' |
| 2008-12-12 |
| Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak spoke out against Iran during a meeting with members of the Egyptian ruling party, according to a report in the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida on Thursday, cited by Israel Radio. Mubarak accused the Islamic Republic of trying to subsume its Muslim neighbors, telling the forum that "the Persians are trying to devour the Arab states." Mubarak's comments came after the Egyptian leader recalled the country's diplomatic envoy from the Iranian capital earlier this week following an increase in tension between the two countries. Recent strain between Cairo and Teheran has grown as several demonstrations in Iran called for the hanging of the Egyptian leader. The Iranian FARS news service reported that participants in recent student demonstrations outside the Egyptian diplomatic mission in Teheran also chanted "Death to Israel" and "Death to America" and burned an Israeli flag. On Wednesday the Egyptian ministry was quoted as criticizing some Iranian newspapers that have repeatedly insulted Egyptian policies and leadership recently. Teheran media, for example, broadcast incitement against Cairo's policy allegedly preventing aid from reaching Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. |

| #3 Is that why we've gotten so much help and cooperation from the Arab states? Like when oil was $147 a bbl. and they were rolling around in petro dollars like fat pigs? Screw those camel f*ckers, what the US and Israel does, we'll do for ourselves and our strategic objectives in the region. Now back to reality, of course we'll have to come along and wipe everyone's bottom for them. We'll send Big O over there to personally fellate the House of Saud and of course, we'll pick up the tab on the whole thing. Then, we'll get screwed by the arabs just as soon as they can jack the price of oil back up and chant 'death to america' in streets. Same as always. |
