ran will not cooperate with the United States on the “fight against terrorists in Syria”, a top adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was quoted as saying by state media on Wednesday.

“Iran will not cooperate directly or indirectly with the United States,” Ali Akbar Velayati was quoted as saying on Press TV after a meeting with Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad in Tehran.

No, "the Onion" is not the source of this article.

The world's greatest practitioner of state terrorism, Iran, will take no part in cooperating with the US in fighting world terrorism.

I am, shocked, shocked I say.I would never expect them to react with such hostility in the desire for a safer, more stable world.

The irony of Iran's position is both sad and funny at the same time.

But what trumps even that for the self-mockery, cynicism it perpetuates is the attitude, perspective of some US official, how far up remains to be seen because I doubt Obama has any real interest in fighting terrorism, naive, clueless, dumb enough to make the request of Iran, with the reality of Iran's global strategy inseparable from its political, diplomatic approach it engages its interests in world affairs.

Who in their right minds could ever imagine Iran cooperating in such an endeavor?

You know, Obama has turned the reality of dealing with pariah states such as Iran in defending his negotiations with the Sh'ite regime as that of treating them with respect and dignity, assisting them economically, lifting embargoes , as the best way to get them to work with us, cooperate to mutual benefit.

Well, the only rationale for anyone to be as stupid as to request Iran's cooperation to help fight terrorism is that this US official must have taken Obama's convoluted attitude much too literally as Iran's reaction foretells.

Only Emperor Obama expected Iran to cooperate with the US on fighting anything. Everyone except Obama knows Iran is the root of all evil in the Middle East and maybe the world and if GW has one fault, maybe he should have attacked Iran instead of Iraq.

Obama who was raised a Muslim has been a problem for the USA but great for Radical Islam IMO.
Can’t wait for him to go.

So which side of Islam is the Current Occupant supporting, anyway?

Is it to be the Muslim Brotherhood, with roots in Sunni Islam, or is it to be the theocracy that now acts as the governance of Iran, the birthplace of the bete noire of the White Hut, Valerie Jarrett?

Both sides generate their own brand of terrorists, and often, they are working at cross purposes with each other, but they unite on one thing - Death to America. They both are as one in their condemnation of Israel, but that is a slightly different issue, because Israel is determined to fight back, and both the Sunnis and the Shi'ites are pretty respectful of the Israelis.

The Occupant prefers all things Muslim. He will “stand with the Muslims when the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” Obama is a traitor and is an enemy of the US. His purpose is to promote Islam and assist with its global occupation and conquest. No doubt about it. It’s the only thing that makes sense of the betrayal and damage he has committed.
