Iranian Walks Out Of Dinner With Condi
CBS NEWS (Online( ^ | 5/4/07

Posted on 05/04/2007 12:50:03 PM PDT by llevrok

(CBS/AP) Iran's foreign minister walked out of a dinner of diplomats where he was seated directly across from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, on the pretext that the female violinist entertaining the gathering was dressed too revealingly.

"I don't know which woman he was afraid of, the woman in the red dress or the secretary of state," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Friday, regarding the actions of Iran's Manouchehr Mottaki.

Rice herself was questioned by reporters about the lack of a direct conversation with Mottaki, even though it appeared she was "chasing" him.

"Uh, well, you could ask him why he didn't make an effort," she replied. Then she laughed. "Look, I'm not given to chasing anyone."

So the face to face between Rice and Mottaki never happened, reports CBS News correspondent Charlie D'Agata. Instead, U.S. and Iranian delegations met at a lower, "expert" level, which while significant, is not a first.

"Our officials did, as they did in Baghdad, have an opportunity to exchange views about the substance of this meeting," Rice said.

The dinner episode Thursday night amid a major regional conference on Iraq perfectly revealed how hard it was to bring together the top diplomats of the two rival nations.

Going into the summit, the Iraqi government had hoped for a breakthrough meeting between Rice and Mottaki. Instead, their only direct contact was a wary exchange of pleasantries over lunch Thursday, punctuated by a wry, somewhat mysterious comment by Mottaki.

Mottaki walked out of the diplomats' dinner on the pretext that the female violinist entertaining the gathering was dressed too revealingly.

I wonder did Mottaki wet the bed as a child?

Does he feel inadequate?

Is he intimidated by women?

Has he ever been intimate with a goat?

The answer to all those questions is probably a resounding

YES!

I guess he realized Condi had far bigger stones than he did. Or maybe it was she showed him a little knee.

The only way she would show *him* any knee, should be when she's planting one in his groin.

My guess is that he was operating under instructions from his government to avoid any direct conversations with Rice. I also assume the whole “chasing” thing has to do with the possibility that she had a message from Bush that she was assigned to deliver to him.

Good opportunity here to make the Iranians look bad.

Sending women to negotiate with Moslem men who can be executed for even talking to a women is going to get us annihilated.

That's not their way. They don't execute the men for talking to women, they execute the women for talking to men. Now the woman's family might take offense, but the Reverend Rice is unlikely to come after him with a shotgun ... for just talking to her that is.. for dissing her like that, he might, were he still alive. She didn't have any brothers either.. hmm, I guess she'll just have to shoot him herself. Or sic her boss on him. Her boss isn't a "shotgun" type though. He does have experience with jet fighters, and can whistle up a Wing or ten Wings of them whenever the notion strikes him.

I guess I agree with the previous poster, we should send whomever we choose to talk with them. If they don't like it, they can lump it (or we'll lump them ourselves).

Why is this a surprise to anyone?

Arab Muslims don't like blacks and they don't like women.

Condi's a double shot of offensiveness, in their eyes.

I'm sure the NAGs, the NAACPs, the Urban League, and all the other pro-women, pro-black activist groups in the U.S. will howl for this guy's head.

Not.

Excerpt:

Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was accused of “indecency” on Wednesday after he publicly embraced and kissed on the hand his old school teacher. . .

“The Muslim Iranian people have no recollection of such acts contrary to Sharia law during Islamic rule,” since the 1979 revolution, seethed the ultra-conservative Hizbullah newspaper on its front page.

“This type of indecency progressively has grave consequences, like violating religious and sacred values,” added the paper, which has no link to the Lebanese Hizbullah of the same name. (snip)

Man alive!!! I'm looking forward to a shot of that Russian violinist!

She must be quite the dish and her outfit must be straight off the runway of Victoria Secret (/humor).

His bigotry interfered in his ability to speak to a Smart Woman.

Weakly, the woose made up some lie about seeing some (unfamiliar?) body part of a (gasp!) female.

Today's Islam is nothing more than a political movement designed as "religion". I don't believe the almighty omams give a rip about Allah or the Koran. They're only pretending to so we'll be afraid of appearing "insensitive".

The recruitment of black Muslims is all about amassing an army of useful idiots, similar to using dumbshit hippies to push for "peace" - aka Communism.

Only my opinion, of course.

Mottaki got one look at our formidable Secretary of State, and had a premonition of a very serious P____Y attack.

He was right. Condi would have left him in a state of qu9ivering helplessness in front of his macho Islamofascist colleagues.

Mottaki fled for survival reasons as the next best option to being publicly impaled by the logic and advocacy of one of the greatest diplomatic minds of this century.

Thanks Condi. You put the little Iranian chickens right into their proper perspective.Keep up the good work.

We need to send a battalion of black female US Marines as Condi's next escort to the ME. You gotta love them!
