I appreciate the info, but your headline needs a little work.
thanks--just turned channels.
3 times? That's two too many :'(
YOUR REPLY:
We should have taken out Sudan when we had the chance.
No negotiations.
No NIF.
No surrender.
And no obnoxious, obviously unqualified jurists screwing things up.
Clearly we need a real president like John Kerry to tell us how important the UN is and how we need to fall into line behing the civilized world. He would obtain the legitimacy of the world organization to make sure that the entire world was free from terrorism.
Got us all to take a quick peek, something to remember.
Hmmm, sovereignty for Iraq then ----- The first step in the next (Iranian) front in the WOT??
UN diplomats expelled from USA.
Not much more than this from Fox yet. I'm sure we'll here more soon.
If this is the third time they've been caught, that means they already have the photos they need. And we're sending them back to Iran without punishment of some kind?
UNITED NATIONS (AP) The U.S. government has expelled two Iranian security guards at Iran's U.N. Mission, citing activities ``incompatible with their stated duties,'' a U.S. official said Tuesday.
The language is reserved for cases involving espionage.
The Iranians were caught on three occasions taking photos of infrastructure, transport systems and New York City landmarks, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The first incident was in June 2002 and the second in November 2003, the official said. After they were stopped recently while taking photographs, the government asked them to leave the country, the official added.
The two Iranians left the United States in the last few days, the official said.
Richard Grenell, spokesman for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, confirmed the expulsions but gave no details.
``We asked them to leave because we were very concerned about their activities, which were incompatible with their stated duties,'' he said.
