LONDON -- Britain's close alliance with the United States is damaging its standing in the Muslim world, Iran's president said in an interview published Saturday.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad urged Britons to evict Prime Minister Tony Blair's government from office, saying Blair's support for Washington's foreign policy could force Britain into future Mideast conflicts, the Guardian newspaper reported.
"The British people should stop supporting governments that are waging war in the Middle East, such as their own government, the United States government and Israel," Ahmadinejad said.
Ahmadinejad said the era in which the United States and a handful of other countries dominated world affairs is drawing to a close and insisted those trying to stop Iran from developing its nuclear capability will not succeed.
"They are trying to deny our right to develop nuclear power," he said.
"But no one can impose anything on the Iranian people. They will not succeed."
"This arrogance will not last forever. Soon you will see the great powers kicked out of their throne."
The UN Security Council has said Iran could face sanctions if it does not suspend uranium-enrichment, a key step in making nuclear weapons. Tehran has until the end of the month to respond officially.
The United States, Britain and their allies suspect Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons but Tehran said it only seeks to build civilian power plants.
sounds like a threat to me.
A Sheeple solution.
Their arrogant rhetoric continues to escallate....
What wild-card are they holding in their deck?
Or are they bluffing?
This photo is going to get a lot of face time on this forum!
"Britain's close alliance with the United States is damaging its standing in the Muslim world, Iran's president said in an interview published Saturday."
LOL. And what standing would that be?
Sounds like another attempt to divide and conquer.
Divide and conquer. He is trying to divide Western nations from their leader and from each other.
Tell us you primitive monkey, how you will defeat us? Islam?
Don't bet the grocery money on that,Mr Pigfornicator. Israel *will* reach out your country before you achieve your goal of developing a nuke.
Count on it.
They have outflanked the West diplomatically for a couple years now, and with the hezbollah success in Lebanon clearly feel they have momentum on their side. This flurry of pompous and condescending statements is a direct response to the West's vacillation and weakness, not just Olmert's--The Iranians have emerged as the "strong horse" in the MidEast at this time, and are attempting to make the most of it. Bad signs abound.
These sub-humans don't bluff. All of Europe has allowed enough muslim migration and immigration that they are all in danger. The psychotic Iranian prez isn't appealing to Blair or parliament. He's appealing to the muslim population that's already present there. JMO.
Well, we should find out on the 22nd.
Even if he doesn't pull an "attack" scenario, that's the date he's supposed to give his answer to the UN about the nuclear program (like we don't already know the answer.)
Analysis of the Iran/North Korea situation....
There's a reason Bush lumped them together in the Axis of Evil speech several years ago....he knew their collaboration.....
Let's harness the power of Free Republic for some insightful analysis....
Freepers living in Iran...check in...Freepers in South Korea what are you hearing?
This sh*t is getting serious now...we could easily wake up Tuesday morning with a fully nuclear Iran playing fast and loose in the middle east.....
Venezuelan Freepers, what is Chavez up to? What is his involvement?
Like the Axis and Allied forces in WWII, this separation is quickly forming. Our enemies are combining and will not try to reveal themselves until their advantage is solidified......
Let's shine the light of day on them....
They're counting on leftists in the West,particularly in the US,to do for Iran what they did for North Vietnam some time ago.
They seem to be oblivious,however,to Israel's capabilities and determination.
Its time for an object lesson in real power<
My hope is we have a leader to demonstrate this soon.
What wild-card are they holding in their deck?
Or are they bluffing?
What they are doing is conducting a very effective propaganda offensive.
The rather transparent objective of this effort is to isolate the U.S. (and Israel).
They're taking advantage of the fact that the European and American left both find such tough talk "scarey"...and want to appease it, at all costs.
That means faltering support for our efforts here at home. And it means intimidated allies...
It's a demonstration of how much can be accomplished when your only real weapon is the media...
Mr. Iwannajihad is just continuing what he and his terrorist friends started in the embassy takeover in Tehran in 1979. Their idea was to bring down all of the Western powers, especially the 'Great Satan'. He's simply trying to peel our allies off, one at a time. He's already gotten the French, which wasn't hard, but he's trying to play the other Allies against each other.

The United States, Britain and their allies suspect Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons but Tehran said it only seeks to build civilian power plants.
Civilian Nuke power power plants. Riiiight. In a country that sits atop an ocean of oil?
Olmert just squandered that point.
I swear we and the Israelis are trying to set them up for a sucker punch, but I suspect the appearance of weakness really indicates the substance.
