Unhappy Love Affair Explains Rice Stance On Iran - This is serious
Yahoo News ^ | Jun 29 | AFP

Perplexed by the vitriol of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's attacks on Iran, one lawmaker believes he has uncovered the secret of her enmity -- that she was spurned by an Iranian boyfriend at college.

"The reason that the US secretary of state attacks Iran is because she had her heart broken by a young man from Qazvin while they were students," a confident Shokrollah Attarzadeh was quoted by the ISNA agency as saying.

Somewhat mysteriously, he added: "This is the result of an investigation by a woman MP, who cannot be named."

Qazvin is an unremarkable city 150 kilometers (90 miles) from Tehran, hitherto not known for playing a major role Iran-US relations, which have been frozen for a quarter of a century.

Attarzadeh did not offer any other details on the alleged affair or, for that matter, any interesting new proposal on how ties between the two arch-enemies could be warmed up.

Surprising as it may be, amorous explanations for diplomatic machinations are nothing new here.

It was rumoured last year that German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer hardened his tone towards Iran after acquiring a girlfriend who supports the exiled opposition.

The alleged leniency of International Atomic Energy Agency director Mohammad ElBaradei towards Iran's nuclear programme has also been explained by ... him having an Iranian wife.

"...a confident Shokrollah Attarzadeh was quoted by the ISNA agency as saying."

His confidence is misguided. I'm confident the guy is delusional.

(Hmmm...is this the first inkling of a new 'Target Condi' movement?)

Nothing surprises me about what the islamic fruitloops say, we have a mufti in Australia who maintains that the West doesn't have remote controlled aircraft (drones) they are a muslim invention, guided by allah.
Recall how the 'brave' mujahadeen in Afghanistan complained it was difficult to down US military aircraft - the pilots were 'unfair' because they remained at such high altitudes...? Then, there's the shrinking penis story, beware whose hand you shake. Muzzies are Neandertahls with Nukes, no wonder I have nightmares.
