| US plans for Iraq a return to cowboy era: Iran |
| 2002-10-23 |
| Iran's defence minister lambasted as "backward" US proposals to set up an interim military government in neighbouring Iraq. "This strategy is more backward than classic colonialism and is a return to the era of cowboys," Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani said Wednesday. See below... Huh huh! He said "cowboy"! He was speaking during talks with visiting Algerian armed forces joint chief of staff, Lieutenant General Mohammad al-Imari. "Appointing a military general in Iraq, shows the United States' lack of knowledge about the Iraqi domestic situation and the sensitive conditions in the Middle East," Shamkhani was quoted as saying. And Shamkhani seems to lack knowledge about the Merkin domestic situation and the sensitive conditions in the United States; to whit, we don't give a Forward Area Refuelling Terminal about their sensibilities and we're tired of screwing around with them... "Iraqi people are the most decent and competent ones" to decide their own destiny, he said, adding "any foreign interference in deciding Iraqi people's future is inappropriate and unacceptable". That's how they got Sammy. Mighty damn' decent and competent of them... Shamkhani also said any suggestion that Iran would provide military assistance to the US was a "joke of the year". Har har har! G'bye, ayatollahs! Hyuck! Hyuck! "We will not cooperate with Americans in any military operation," he said. "We'd rather be hung with our own turbans than to do that!" |
