| Riyadh praises Teheran | |
| 2004-12-05 | |
Saudi Arabia's Interior Minister has reached out to Iran, praising the country for hosting a conference on Iraq's security and saying the two countries can help with the upcoming Iraqi elections. "Both the kingdom and Iran can play an important role in founding stability in the Middle East region, especially in Iraq," Prince Nayef said, describing the two countries as "regional powerhouses ... that can help the Iraqi government in holding elections."ÂÂ

| #7 Nice try at setting up the good-guy image, SA and Iran. 1. You know that elections are scheduled and going forward in Iraq. 2. You know how much your cannon fodder has been hurt in Fallujah and all around the 'triangle.' 3. This end-of-the-year makeover is not going to change the fact that you guys are the kings of terrorist funding on the globe. 4. You two also realize that a successful Iraq will spell doom to your kleptocracy. 5. You also will realize that one or both of you will be next for regime change, one way or another. 6. And that goes for your little dog Syria, too. |

| #5 Saudi Arabia and Iran? Isn't that a lot like having Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on your campaign planning committee? |

| #4 Realizing that Iran and SA are the bastions of democracy and liberty, aren't these countries already trying (as they might) to influence the upcoming Iraqi elections? |

| #3 Saudi Arabia and Iran's long history of fair elections open to all makes them the perfect dynamic duo to help Iraq with theirs! Now if we could just get North Korea to lend some of their valuable experience... In unrelated news the Los Angeles based Bloods and Cripps gangs jointly announced they are opening a series of Boys Camps to help get America's youth off the streets. |

| #2 ..and saying the two countries can help with the upcoming Iraqi elections. Uhhh, no. Iraq doesn't need "help" from the likes of the Saudis or the mullahs.. |
