"Mohammeds mind is going. I can feel it Dave."

Lebanon's senior-most Shiite Muslim cleric, a harsh critic of U.S. policies in the region, called for an international trial of U.S. President Bush, saying his administration posed a threat to world peace.Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah issued the call over a document allegedly leaked to London's Daily Mirror tabloid. The newspaper claimed the document was a transcript of a meeting in April 2004 between Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair in which the U.S. leader spoke of attacking Al-Jazeera television headquarters in Doha, Qatar. The newspaper, which cited unidentified sources, said Blair argued against an attack.
The newspaper quoted its sources as disagreeing about whether Bush's alleged comment was a joke or was meant seriously. The White House, which has accused Al-Jazeera of being a mouthpiece for al-Qaida, has dismissed news reports about the conversation as "outlandish and inconceivable."
Earlier this week, British Attorney General Lord Goldsmith warned editors they could face prosecution under the Official Secrets Act for disclosing the contents of the document.
In a statement faxed to the Associated Press in Beirut, Fadlallah said the incident "represents a glaring example of the real U.S. attitude toward the issue of press freedom."
"It is an irrefutable condemnation of Bush and another scandal adding to the scandals of this (U.S.) administration which knows only the language of power and does not have anything to face the truth except by terrorism, killings and destruction," the cleric said.
Fadlallah, the top religious authority for Lebanon's 1.2 million Shiites, said the document also exposed Bush's "false claim" about seeking to spread democracy and freedom in the Middle East.
Saying that the Bush administration posed "a threat to world peace and freedom" as well as to relations between the West and the Islamic world, Fadlallah called "on all wise voices in the West, particularly the European Union, to act quickly to demand an international trial of the U.S. president."
The Islamic Action Front, Jordan's largest Muslim opposition group, issued a statement on Saturday denouncing the alleged conversation.
"Such actions underline U.S. intentions to commit heinous crimes against Arab and Muslim people in a hidden manner and away from the world's attention and outside public purview," the statement said.
Jesus, but these sheetheads live in a dreamworld.
His mind is going, he can`t deal with the fact that someone is actually using defense against his cult.

"Mohammeds mind is going. I can feel it Dave."
If the dems would stop with their political hate games, this crap wouldn't be happening. These sheetheads see our elected officials trying to tear the whitehouse apart. It emboldens ALL of our enemies.
Again, the ayatollah is in perfect agreement with the US Democratic Party, and vice versa.
As one sinner to another, Jesus' name is worth more than being used as an exclamation.
As to the dreamworld part, I can't agree more. Delusions are definitely not exclusive to liberals in this country.
True. Sometimes my fingers fly before my brain engages.
Fiddle Faddalah..
It is a good thing for the allies of the left to come out and present themselves. It will help Americans to see and more clearly understand their (leftist) philosophies.
I agree. The Bush administration is a threat to world peace. The Bush adminstration is guilty for failing to address the greatest threat to civilization today, islam. Islam is a terrorist organization and should be dealt with as such.
All peaceful muslims are resting in peace.....all other muslims are a threat to civilization.

Throw a little feed out for them....they'll come to eat...then they're easy to shoot.
Oops, thought this was a hunting thread...talking about dumb animals.
Then I'm not alone. (g)
Look at the FBI/CIA mole case out of Detroit:
...As part of the plea agreement, Prouty faces less than a year in jail but will be stripped of her U.S. citizenship. After any jail time, she will serve a period of probation under the supervision of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement but will not be deported, as is usual in such cases...
Prouty had been a "midlevel operations officer" at the agency, and joined in 2003...By that time her sister, Elfat el-Aouar, had been married for three years to Talal Khalil Chahine, owner of a chain of Middle Eastern restaurants in Michigan. In August 2002, Chahine was a keynote speaker at a Beirut fundraising event alongside Hezbollah's spiritual leader, Sheik Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah, listed by the Treasury Department as a "specially designated global terrorist entity..." "There's no reason at this point to treat this as a counterintelligence case," the intelligence official said.... Chahine, a fugitive, faces two federal indictments...,
The plea agreement...stated that Prouty paid a U.S. citizen...to marry her after overstaying a student visa....Prouty used the marriage as the basis for a fraudulent naturalization application, which resulted in her becoming a U.S. citizen. In April 1999...Prouty joined the FBI as a special agent, was granted a security clearance and assigned to the bureau's Washington field office to work on a team investigating crimes against U.S. citizens overseas.
