Get ready, the world is going to burn again.
The spokesman added: 'There is no such [UK Government] policy to overthrow the Iranian regime.'
Yes, some have known the above since 2006, at least.
Others have known about it for much longer - just ask the Mullahs in Iran.
I read the article as a whole, and it indicates that Liam Fox promised the job of ambassador to Israel to a person recommended by his friend. They all (Liam, friend and ambassador) appear to be linked to extremist views about attacking Iran.
Mr Fox is an enthusiastic Atlanticist and is sympathetic to the neocon movement in the United States, which takes a hawkish stance on Iran's nuclear ambitions, although on his 2007 visit to the country he said he hoped for a "diplomatic solution" to the issue. An associate said that Mr Werritty, who can speak some Farsi, would act as a "facilitator" and "take messages" between various opposition figures, although the source insisted he was not a "freelance spy". -- The Independent
The revelation is nevertheless likely to add to claims not only that Werritty masqueraded as Fox's international fixer but that he was running a shadow foreign policy on Iran a policy more hawkish than the official government position. David Cameron is said to have been annoyed by some of Fox's more neo-con pronouncements on the subject.
In February, Werritty and Fox flew to Israel for a high-profile strategic conference on regional security. Fox called for stronger sanctions to compel Iran to give up its nuclear weapons programme. -- The Guardian
According to both the Independent & the Guardian so far, Fox & Werritty have been involved in 'an audacious plot to topple Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad' (that is not 'regime change'). Apparently, they wanted to do that by "imposing stronger sanctions" on Iran to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons?! (that is not 'regime change'). And, they are considered "extremists" because Fox is sympathetic to 'Neocon movement' in the US?? Of course, there is also the Israel & Mossad angle, which, every time, gets some people's shirt in a major knot.. - btw, The Telegraph jumped on the same bandwagon as other newspapers.
There is definitely much more to this than meets the eye... a few things don't add up, and in parts it sounds scripted.
Question: Will we follow England's PC or fight? I truly believe the first time a mall is bombed and those f*cks kill our children, we will fight. I know I will, and I'm old enough to not care. I will target every one of the Islamist shitheads and send them to their 72 Virginians. And please don't preach to me about "moderate muslims". I don't trust a one of them because of their political/theocracy beliefs.
Lock and load boys and girls, it's coming...
