Iran says U.S. attacks "unacceptable"

Tehran, Oct 7, IRNA

Raising deep concerns, the Iranian foreign ministry has immediately reacted to the U.S. military attacks against Afghanistan, saying the "vast U.S. attacks" are "unacceptable."

"These attacks which have been launched regardless of the world public opinion, especially the Muslim nations, and will damage the innocent and oppressed Afghans are unacceptable," the ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Assefi told IRNA.

He noted that the United States should avoid any action which, he said, may encroach on the territorial integrity of the Iranian airspace.

The United States launched an attack on Afghanistan and its ruling Taliban on Sunday in retaliation for the September 11 terrorist strikes on New York and Washington.

"On my orders, the United States military has begun strikes against al-Qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan," President George W. Bush said in a televised address.

The U.S. action follows several weeks of demands that the Taliban hand over Osama bin Laden, whom U.S. officials hold responsible for the attacks. The Taliban have refused those demands.

Bin Laden has been living in Afghanistan as a guest of the Taliban, that[sic. should be which] rules most of Afghanistan, since they seized power in 1996.

I defy them, to try and stop the attacks.

[Gordian Blade]

Oh, sorry, next time we'll be sure to check with Iran to make sure what we do is acceptable to them.

I posted this at http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3bc0b9a46ec4.htm when this was just a one-line blurb.. but it solicited almost 60 comments. Check it out.

You fumbling idiots best shut the hell up before you remind us of an old unsettled score regarding a hostage crisis.

[From The Deer Stand]

Who cares what Iran thinks? I'm surprised they think!

[Common Tator]

I heard this afternoon that Iran contacted the US government and aid it would make the statement opposing the United States action.

They also said they would take no action to inhibit our attacks and under no circumstances would they do anything to help the Taliban.

Typical Middle East.

[ASA Vet]

No, NO, NO, Please keep shooting your mouth off.
Americans need to be reminded daily which list you want to be on.

[Lurker]

No. Let them keep talking.

It will make things easier in the long run when we nuke them.

Too bad what you think Iran....We never asked for your comments.

[Mark17]

an old unsettled score regarding a hostage crisis.

If the Russians have a score to settle in Afghanistan, you are 100% right, we have one to settle in Iran. When I was in the Air Force, we had Iranians learning to fly, in Texas. I met many of these clowns close up. They were and are, very weird. We definitely have a score to settle.

[OWK]

I can see you boys are on the same page.

(I am too... I just wanted to work the hostage crisis line in somewhere).. ;^]

[FReethesheeples]

Iran's continued sponsorship of terorism is UNACCEPTABLE.

Therfore, Iran's government's continued existence is "unacceptable."

[irish_lad]

Screw the Iranians. When we're done with bin Laden and Saddam, their sorry asses are next on the list.

[A Navy Vet]

Seem to be losing a little of that well-known reserve. Welcome to the club, Dan.

[Pamlico]

I got your unacceptable right here. Now get back in line and shut up. We will have plenty left over to attend to your needs shortly. As I recall, you iranians need some new parking lots, in glass.

[TADSLOS]

I place Iran #3 on the hit parade, right behind Iraq.

[DoughtyOne]

The opinion of Iran and fifty cents will get you a newspaper. The leadership of Iran can go suck eggs.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

I think all the civilized nations should immediately evacuate their nationals from Iran and Iraq.

I could think of no better way of scaring the crap out of the tyrants in those countries.

[JENINMO]

Okay, BEFORE the attacks, they said attacks were unacceptable, and I guess they're still unacceptable, ask me if I CARE what they think.
