Iran to complain to UN over arrests in Iraq

Iran insists its aims are civilian and part of plans to generate electricity.

And the dog ate my homework

The check is in the mail

Really officer I wasn't aware I was speeding

[TheKidster]

UH-OH they're going to the UN! We better watch out or we'll get a stern letter in 5 or 10 years about this.

[Albert Barr]

They'll be released by Monday.

[himno hero]

hi, my name is himno hero

I'm with the government, and I'm here to help you

[AU72]

Were're in for it now.

I remember the time the UN dealt with the issue of diplomatic immunity in 1979.

[EagleUSA]

Kofi will listen, then chide the USA.

[Kenton]

Iran said on Friday it would soon lodge a complaint with the U.N. Security Council about the arrest by U.S. troops of five Iranians, who Washington says were backing militants in Iraq but who Tehran says are diplomats.

Dear Iranians. Remember when you took the American Embassy staff hostage and held them for 444 days? Well, as far as the United States is concerned, you forfeited your own diplomatic immunity at that time, and we have not seen you do anything to restore it. Quite to the contrary.

So don't even bother with that "they were diplomats" stuff, we will treat them as spies.

[tobyhill]

The more they complain the more we know how important the arrest was.

[Valin]

It may even be a stern letter written in BOLD.

[Valin]

Exactly!

[edcoil]

Iran's response to the UN's complaints against Iran makes this issue laughable.

[Dog Gone]

Kofi will listen, then chide the USA.

Kofi ain't there anymore.

[Condor51]

Oh, you want your guys back, eh? Okay....

Cap em with a .22 to the head -
THEN return them.

[EagleUSA]

Kofi ain't there anymore.

True -- wow, we are so used to bad news, that a piece of good news gets lost in my mind :-)

[Dog Gone]

Yeah, bad news does tend to drive good news out. It's the truism that the media survives on.

[Grateful One]

The more they complain the more we know how important the arrest was....................

And maybe this was our push to wait for their shove?

Hope so.

[TheKidster]

If they can get enough "member states" to agree on a stern but not inflammitory font.

[Thrusher]

I wish this story were something more along the lines of "Remnants of Former Iranian Government To Complain To UN Over Multiple Nuclear Strikes All Across Their Country."

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Hopefully, evidence was also seized in the raid that captured these iranians. The Us should present that evidence at the un in response to any complaints from the iranian government.

[observer5]

Don't worry they'll be released shortly, just like last time... Remember, the US is there only to assist the Iraqi goverment.
