US troops 'idle' during bombings: Iran
The Daily Telegraph ^ | November 25, 2006

Iran, which will be hosting Iraqi President Jalal Talabani this weekend, claims US troops stood idle while "terrorist and savage action" was being committed in Baghdad, news agency IRNA said.

Iran "strongly condemns the wave of bombings in the Shiite Sadr City and considers it a terrorist and savage action which was carried out while the American troops were standing idle," foreign ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini was quoted as saying by the state news agency.

"The occupation and the insecurity which emanates from it has caused continual damage to the Iraqi people, and they have no other choice but to pay its inhuman price," he added.

Funny how it's America's fault that people are blowing themselves up over there. I didn't realize that we were the ones strapping on the suicide belts. Hmmmmm.....BS!

Well thank God for that. Otherwise we may have had many dead U.S. troops.

What does he expect? We didn't want to offend any one. This is a politically correct war.
Gosh, maybe it would be a good idea if he, ya know, started running his own country? That was the idea, after all.

We're condemned when we try to stop Islamic violence, now we're condemned when we don't stop Islamic violence. Americans just can't score brownie points with radical Muslims.

That would be the Iranian News News Service, not exactly what I would call a credible news source.

How so? I mean I keep seeing people say that here, and have yet to see them provide proof. It strikes me that they don't really understand what kind of battle/war this is.

So we should....do what? Maybe Iraq should quit fighting itself and maybe try defending itself? Isn't what their army is suppose to be for?

"Iran "strongly condemns the wave of bombings in the Shiite Sadr City and considers it a terrorist and savage action which was carried out while the American troops were standing idle,"

So one group of murderers murdered another group of murderers. And we should do something? Obviously sniffing the koranus in front of you caused drain bambage, muuuhamhead!

they just want to create a media spectacle

perhaps they should just get out of lebanon, iraq, afghanistan and global terror?

Muslims are killing Muslims all around the globe. If they can't kill the infidels, they kill each other.
My husband is getting pretty tired of hearing about American casualties caused by trying to save Muslims from Muslims. He wants us to stand back and just let them kill each other off, because they're going to do it anyway no matter what. Reducing their population would not be a bad thing for the war on terror, and they'd be doing it to themselves.
The more I hear about these people killing each other and taking our troops with them, the more I understand what my husband is saying.

He says do the same for abortion and homosexuality. Let the liberals abort themselves into extinction. Let the homos disease and infect themselves into extinction. The world would be a much better place in the end.

Needless to say, he's lost his "tolerance" for it all. I'm starting to do the same. Suicide could be their own death style choice. All we have to do is stand back and watch them self destruct.

Yes, and if we had tried to help they would have blamed it on us. We got the range on these mudders now.

That's actually quite brilliant as far as spin-doctering goes. I'll give the Devil his due, there. The Iranians aren't dumbasses, that's for sure.
