File under: Govt of Iran

#1 "The foreign-based and isolated enemies of the nation"...seem to worry our esteemed friend. And he admits to some discussion about a "dual-government" as if that potentiality might exist. Well, he brought the subject up, I was just standing here watching him fiddling with his turban. I wonder what he could possibly be talking about, dont you?

And he speaks of "Islamic Jurisprudence" which, I think has something to do with if you shake it more than three times you might be playing with it. Which is an old Moslem custom and requires a law to govern any excessives (as it were).

I particularly like the use of the word "deviatory". Its in the text somewhere near the Iranian Constitution and the personality traits of the Medes and the Persians. It usually occurs in reference to foreigners like the evil (ONE) the United States, (TWO) NATO, and (THREE) any Moslem country which has a problem with Dictators.

The Holy Man also accused NATO and the violent United Statesforces of engaging in "a war of attrition" in Libya in a bid to win control of the oil-rich country in the long run. Personally, I have no problem with that myself, but we should be sensitive to the Iranian Moslem point of view which seems to think we might be doing what is in our own best interests in Libya.....to drag it all out as long as possible and wait for the next news brief on Syria strangling on its own breakfast. Neither Assad nor Khadaffy sure are going to get their developing abortions back in the closet anytime soon.I personally dont think they either one of them has a prayer.

Meanwhile the whole world munches donuts and watches the Telly with their feet up while our Holy Man lashes out at the "deadly silence" from the international community. It is apparent that the majority of humanity could care less what happens to Iran, especially when they are doing it largely to themselves. Its kind of interesting watching Moslems shove can openers up their nose.

And as a Closer, this Holy Man brings up how fast Israel is in waging a war and how the Moslems always seem to lose in Oopsy time.
As to what people of "the Future" will remember...that depends on WHO writes the History books.
BUT if you see the street signs in Hebrew you know Islam has had some big problems somewhere on THAT highway.

#2 Theholy man cautioned against an enemy plot to show the atmosphere in Iran as tensional, calling on Iranian officials "not to play in their court" and "not to fill their puzzle squares."

he also said: Don't get caught in a half-court defense or give up the fast-breaks and turnovers. Don't ice the puck. Play smallball with their heavy hitters, and finally 'give us 110% and play it one game at a time'", quoting Ayatollah Crash Davis
