Khamenei: U.S., Israel behind beheadings in Iraq7/13/2004 5:00:00 PM GMT Khamenei said he suspects that U.S. and Israeli 'agents' are behind the wave of beheadings. Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei suspects that U.S. and Israeli "agents" are behind the wave of kidnappings and beheadings in Iraq, the state news agency IRNA reported. Khamenei, in a meeting with visiting Singapore Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, lashed out at the West's purport fight against terrorism and said that as a result, he preferred to see the Islamic republic do business with Asian countries. "We seriously suspect the agents of the Americans and Israelis are conducting such horrendous terrorist moves, and cannot believe that the people who kidnap Filipino nationals, for instance, or behead U.S. nationals are Muslims." Khamenei said. The U.S. “declared war on terrorism", he added, was merely a pattern of hypocrisy. "In the early 1980s, Iran suffered terrorist attacks in which 72 prominent personalities were martyred on one occasion and a president and a prime minister on another," he said. Khamenei added that the group, which was granted a base of operations in Iraq in former president Saddam Hussein era, were "now living freely under the protective umbrella of those Western countries that claim to be the standard bearers of the international campaign against terrorism." Even though Iran is actively trading with the European Union, Khamenei asserted that the West's record of terrorism would make his country look east for business. "Iran prefers to do business with Asian partners, rather than countries in other parts of the world," he told Goh, who is in Iran for five days and on the last leg of a tour that has already taken him to Pakistan, Bangladesh and India. Also greeting the visiting premier was powerful former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani -- now the head of Iran's top political arbitration body -- who accused the United States of a "two-faced" approach to terrorism. "The double-faced and biased approach of the United States towards this ominous phenomenon is not only defeating efforts to fight it, but also escalating the problem," Rafsanjani complained. And according to IRNA, Rafsanjani "pointed to the differences between terrorism and resistance" by raising the question of Palestinian armed resistance against Israeli occupation. from aljazeera.com
i posted this for YOU, baby. I have much more respect for the arab world than I do the white man's empire... altho i like to keep my head out of all asses.... if i had to have my head up anyones ass i think i'de like mine up beyonce's ass!!
Yes, I agree with this like the mindless sheep I am. I am so cool and liberal-minded. Everything that comes from a Muslim/Arab-based propaganda rag like Al-Jazeera is automatically truthful, simply because it doesn't come from American sources. Of course everything culled from Al-Jazeera is about as accurate is that culled from FOX News, so it must be true. Actually, Mui, I have pondered this for months. I do believe that the US is responsible in some of the instances. It's especially odd when you consider the fact that Nick Berg had ties to not one, but two, members of al-Qaeda.
I said I have more respect for the arab world than the white mans empire... More respect, that doesnt mean im bending over backwards for the arab world ^^... Humans in general are fucking stupid, if they cant see the battle between empires is not a struggle of their personal lives, but a struggle of OTHERS forced upon the populace... than they have no right to be living in the first place !!! Syncophantic sapien extinction! Lets do it all for amusement! (assuming this is sarcasm towards me) Oh no, not the omnipresent Pompous Rat. I dont even remember agreeing with the article i posted ^^ I think the first few words in it were... Khamenei said not Mui said. I just posted it to get a discussion going, like anything, and to see how people i consider fucking insane (grevious angel for instance) would react to the article. But ye, i will continue going to aljazeera although I have seen a slant ^^ It's cool because you can read the comments from people all over the world about the articles... even people from iraq !!! its nice to get a wordly perspective on these things. Oh yes, must be moderate... cant... have... liberal... beliefs... must... not... give in... to... liberal... media... that wants to... give me free health care and... stop wars... legalize drugs... and end capitalist... exploitation... being liberal is.... so bad.... liberal propaganda... at its finest... will be the destruction... of the world... *dies* I think around the nick berg execution his family personally believed that the US government had something to do with his execution. For that reason i'de maybe consider this truth! What is so wrong in posting an article so we know how iran stands on these things.... who knows when they will perhaps be joining it? I find it kind of funny... instead of attacking iran's leaders you use your words against me!
Kay, say what you want about america, but you have to admit that it is better than living in iran, and foxnews is a better source for news then fucking kohemeni. kay. and stop with that ending capitalist exploitation of 'the people' b.s. first of all, you don't represent the people, second of all if the people heard you talking like that they'd give you a good slapping, and third of all, do you even know what it means. seriously, i hear a lot of foolheardy people like you tossing that phrase around, and i would like to hear you say what it means. and this is coming from a dyed-in-the-wool bleading heart liberal who has an e-mail account at aljazeera so don't go calling me a capitalist stooge sheep conservative lapdog yadda yadda yadda.
Kohemeni isnt even a source for news, he is the leader of iran... so duh... and of course living in america is better than living in iran... We are living in the belly of the beast... we have great success because we benefit at the expense of others. First of all, when did i say "The people" who the fuck are you quoting? Capitalist exploitation DOES exist, it is very apparent and if you cant see it im sorry that is YOUR problem not mine... you dont fucking represent 'the people' any more than i fucking do... people have all sorts of beliefs and thoughts, not ALL of them like capitalism, not ALL of them hate capitalism... its foolish to say "the people" would slap me for being against capitalism. foolheardy isnt even a word... but are ye calling me reckless? What does CAPITALIST EXPLOITATION mean? Capitalist exploitation is everywhere... its in third world countries, its in america... its outsourcing jobs in foreign markets where labor laws dont exist, its corporations like nike using children to manufacture the products WE buy. its barely paying the people who make the products so americans can have cheaper prices... It's energy corporations who laugh when natural disasters occur because they know it will result in higher energy prices and more money in their pockets... Should I go on? OOOOOOOOOO i suppose i dont have much to say to that... i wish i could be a 'bleading' heart liberal... and you have an e-mail account at aljazeera? Well shit, man. Cant beat that. But seriously, if you support the fucking outrageous outsourcing and child labor that american corporations put the WORLD through, you are no better than the fucking conservatives on fox news to me. To me, the lines between Liberal and conservative have a lot to do with economic views... you damn capitalist stooge sheep conservative lapdog yadda yadda.
Uhhhhh....neither the Ayatollah of Iran or Al-Jazeerah are very credible when it comes to actual, factual information.
aljazeera presents actual-factual information... for instance, the leader of iran did in fact say this... what they are doing is telling us about it... Where bias comes in is when aljazeera puts little exerpts in their articles like "Defiant israel" or other such adjectives that portray their opposition in a negative light... that is bias... it does not totally discredit everything that is presented by the source, but it shows where they stand on the spectrum... people shouldnt automatically discredit everything they hear on the opposite side of the spectrum... biased sources do not often give FALSE information... what they give is SLANTED information suited to the beliefs of whatever agenda they support.
I know you hate typos, so I am doing this in Microsoft word. F oolheardy isnt even a word... but are ye calling me reckless? What does CAPITALIST EXPLOITATION mean? Capitalist exploitation is everywhere... its in third world countries, its in america... its outsourcing jobs in foreign markets where labor laws dont exist, its corporations like nike using children to manufacture the products WE buy. its barely paying the people who make the products so americans can have cheaper prices... It's energy corporations who laugh when natural disasters occur because they know it will result in higher energy prices and more money in their pockets... Should I go on? Okay, outsourcing isn’t capitalist exploitation, explain that to me will you? Sending higher paying jobs to third world countries is a bad thing for ‘the people’, eventually, these people will get higher skilled and demand fair wages health insurance etc. just like here in America. We were built on child labor, immigrant abuse, basically fucking over the poor, and somehow we have done moderately okay, we are enjoying the best life that any generation has in any part of the world, and if you can’t see that then you are either dumb, or stupid. And you still haven’t defined capitalist exploitation, you have just cited a bunch of examples of poor people getting the shit end of the stick. This always happens, in every system in every way of life in every time period those that perform the bottom of the barrel work get fucked over. But things get better, markets improve, people demand their rights, worldwide economies improve, and eventually as a race humans get better and better at satisfying our basic needs. The entire article was about what kohemeni said, so in this instance he was the source of the news. Duh… Captiatlist exploitation: the bourgeoisie class using the proletariat as their source of energy (labor). This is after the slave/master exploitation, then the feudal lord/peon source exploitation. Basically all labor defined by marx et all is a form of exploiting another living thing as a way of accomplishing work. And you are foolish, blind, ignorant, and quite frankly angry at something that you have no real grasp of. Don’t feel bad, I was there, most of us were, but we grow out of it, mature, take an economics class, realize that communism is a bad idea in theory and practice and move on with our lives. In the words of P.J. O’rourke: Pull your pants up, get a job, and turn your had the right way round.
I always thought words were relative and not defined by marx... but anyway, So you really think that the same thing will happen in every country... the people will demand rights and than they will have them and they will be happy forever and ever... my ass. that's one happy ass dream my friend. Capitalist exploitation is two words, 1 word. capitalist... the other word..e xploitation... exploitation done by the capitalist system... i mentioned forms of capitalist exploitation... the marxist definition i still agree with (that all free market labor is capitalist exploitation) but outsourcing definitely is part of that... you cannot defend outsourcing by saying people will demand better rights, and their markets will improve... america's civil rights were not brought by outsourcing... outsourcing is much different than breaking child labor laws in your own country... our rich and powerful are preying on the sick and weak, building their own masses... their government dont want to give them rights, and no one else could really care... Lmao.. Al jazeera was the source my friend... but that is besides the point, duh. Exactly.. how does outsourcing not fit in that... i KNEW that... if you think i didn't you are a fool... I think the same about you... you dont have any clue what REAL communism is... and you seem to be angry about it but the truth is you have no real grasp of it.. My ass... most of us WERENT there... many of you were born into your fucking political affiliation. thats just bullshit that everyone says thats totally untrue... (like growing up to become a republican) its a farse. i have Give me some argument other than the same few things everyone says about communism... i've never lost an argument about communism (imo) people always say the same damn things... you have been conditioned into thinking communism is this horribly bad thing... the answer is not to exploit one another into revolution. in the words of the buddha "suck my dick" once again We are enjoying the best life that any generation has... prove it... What kind of fucking statement is that... Do you know why we are having a such good time? Why is our economy doing so well? Because our companies use children and adults in foreign countries to make the shit that we use... go to fucking wal mart and find one damn thing not made by slave labor. Just because i can buy cheap shit doesnt mean im having a good life... the rich people in america are having the best life that any generation could, probably... but not the majority of america... how many of us are slaving over jobs and still cant pay the bills? That's not life to me man.. and your wrong about no system treating poor people better.. socialism and communism has been proven to have been more efficient at preventing poverty.. communes are proof that the poor dont always have the shit end of the stick... native american tribes are also a system that did not treat the poor and sick and foreign with the "shit end of the stick" But your post made me laugh, nice try.
Why communism sucks-an essay Communism sucks ass because, A.) Believe it or not i actually need incentive to work, B.) Greedheads, and C.) It will never work A.) Ok let;s say i'm in your little perfect commie world, I am a doctor, i spent many a day in college learning how to cure disease, yadda yadda yadda. I get paid 5 dollars an hour, meanwhile Bob works sorting mail for the same price, he never went to college and he makes as much as me. Why would i become a doctor? B.) The leader of this perfect world, (the man handin out da checks) happens to be skimmin off the top, so now he makes 7 dollars an hour. C.) Why would i want to be equal with everyone? Why would i want my children brought into a world where they are never gonna have a life better than mine?
