Iran Puts In Request To Be Smoked Next
I'll wait around and give "----" and "------" some time to come whinetailing around about the fact Iran is full of jackasses; and how somehow, someway this is that bastard Bush's fault.


Iran Won't Give Al Qaeda Intelligence to U.S.
1 hour, 19 minutes ago
By Parinoosh Arami

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran said Wednesday it would not share intelligence with the United States about al Qaeda members it is holding and dismissed U.S. charges that anti-American fighters were slipping across its borders into Iraq (news - web sites).

U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage said on Tuesday Washington was prepared to resume limited contacts with the Iranian government but that relations would not improve until Tehran shared intelligence on al Qaeda.

"We don't have any relations with American security services so there is no reason to do anything on this issue," government spokesman Abdollah Ramazanzadeh told a weekly news conference.

President Mohammad Khatami (news - web sites) rebuffed a call by President Bush (news - web sites) Tuesday for Iran and Syria to tighten their borders to stop fighters crossing into Iraq.

"The accusations are not new, they have always made such baseless charges," Khatami told reporters.

The U.S. has attributed an upsurge in violence in Iraq in part to foreign fighters that the U.S. military has numbered between 1,000 and 3,000.

Washington broke off talks with Tehran over Iran's neighbors Afghanistan (news - web sites) and Iraq in May after accusing Iran of sheltering al Qaeda members behind bombings in Saudi Arabia on May 12 which killed 35 people, including nine Americans.

Iran denies cooperating with al Qaeda and says it has caught and extradited hundreds of suspected members of Osama bin Laden (news - web sites)'s network who fled from Afghanistan and Pakistan in the last two years.

PRACTICAL STEPS

Ramazanzadeh noted that Armitage's comments on resuming talks with Iran were the first such remarks from a U.S. official for some time but added that Tehran was waiting for Washington to take "practical steps" to improve relations.

"It is not possible to threaten a country, to block its assets, to accuse it and then want talks," he said.

Washington broke ties with Tehran shortly after the 1979 Islamic revolution. Low-level talks have occasionally taken place in third countries to discuss specific issues but neither side has made a concerted effort to normalize relations.

In Iran, restoring ties with the country religious leaders refer to as the "Great Satan" is considered a virtually taboo subject and government officials rarely confirm that contacts with U.S. officials have taken place.

The U.S. administration has described Iran as part of an "axis of evil" with Iraq and North Korea (news - web sites) and accused it on trying to develop nuclear weapons.

Political analysts in Tehran said Iran's recent decision to agree to tougher inspections of its nuclear sites and suspend uranium enrichment may have encouraged Washington to resume its dialogue with Tehran.

Events in Iraq, where anti-American attacks blamed by some on foreign fighters show little sign of fizzling out, are another motivating factor for Washington, they said.

Tehran last week handed over to the United Nations (news - web sites) Security Council a list of more than 200 names of al Qaeda members it has recently extradited to their home countries.

Washington dismissed the Iranian move, saying Iran should turn over all al Qaeda members to the United States, their country of origin or third countries.

Various option are at our disposal.
Since, the people I have in mind, don't like cluster bombs, let's go with that option.

It's not that expensive if it's done right. And it done right, there's nothing left smoking.

Pack your full gears, two days fire supplies and get that oil away from your guns, everybody ready in 10 minutes! DinoDoc, You are responsible for ordering stakes and beers via helicopter no further than 1KM from LZ the coming night, do you read me? AND DON'T FORGET THE MUSIC!

Well the One 25mm GAU-12 Gatling gun (1,800 rounds per minute), one L60 40mm Bofors cannon (100 shots per minute), one M102 105mm cannon (6-10 rounds per minute) say differently.

Too much land to occupy. You lack the manpower if you don't conscript, which would be fatal for Bush if he wants a second term.

you know, if we invade and occupy from bases in afghanistan and iraq, we could set up our very own big swath of land in the area.

the west asian protectorate under united state administration, stretching from pakistan to saudi arabia, a veritable melting pot of peoples.

Anyone care to estimate how much conflict with Iran would cost the US taxpayer? Enough to affect the next Presidential election perhaps?
