Passion Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's hard-line president who has said the Holocaust was a myth, now has charged that European countries sought to complete the genocide by establishing a Jewish state in the midst of Muslim countries. "Don't you think that continuation of genocide by expelling Jews from Europe was one of their aims in creating a regime of occupiers of Al- Quds (Jerusalem)?" the official Islamic Republic News agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying Sunday. "Isn't that an important question?" Ahmadinejad said Europeans had decided to create a "Jewish camp" as the best means for ridding the continent of Jews. He said the camp, Israel, now enjoyed support from the United States and Europe in the slaughter of Muslims. In October, Ahmadinejad called for Israel to be "wiped off the map." Last month, Ahmadinejad said the Holocaust, in which Nazi Germany killed six million Jews, was a myth. After global outrage over the comments, he said that Europeans, if they insist the Holocaust occurred, should cede some of their territory for a Jewish state. He said anti-Semitism had a long history in Europe, while Jews had lived peacefully among Muslims for centuries. His remarks have been condemned by the White House, Israel, Germany, France and the European Commission, among others. Germany has said the remarks would affect negotiations over Iran's nuclear program. European negotiators are pushing Iran to move its uranium enrichment facilities to Russia in a compromise solution to a dispute with the United States, which wants to stop Iran from producing nuclear weapons. Talks are set to continue this month. Iran's top nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, said the Russian proposal that the two nations enrich uranium in Russian territory could not ignore Iran's right to carry out enrichment at home. "It's not logical for a country to put the fate of its nation at the disposal of another country even if it's a friend. You can meet part of your fuel needs from abroad," Larijani said on state-run television late Sunday. "History and experience show that if you don't have technology, you will damage your independence," he said. Larijani also warned of a "crushing" response if its nuclear and military facilities were attacked by the U.S. or Israel. "If there is any truth in such talks, Israel will suffer greatly. It's a very small country within our range," he said. Iran said Sunday it has produced equipment for separating uranium from its ore, a fresh development in Tehran's drive to control the nuclear- fuel cycle, state television reported Sunday. The broadcast claimed the "settler-mixer" was a highly effective way to produce uranium, quoting Amir Hossein Farhadi, a researcher for Iran's Atomic Energy Organization. "Foreign countries were not ready to sell it to Iran since it could be applicable in the cycle," Farhadi said. Iran claims the program is solely for generating electricity. The U.S. has pushed for Iran to be taken before the United Nations Security Council, where it could face economic sanctions over the dispute. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/01/01/D8ES5HTO6.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullDurham Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 First, a more credible link, and it cites the AP: http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid...icle%2FShowFull Having established that this whackjob said that, I must ask myself why nothing that comes out of that whackjob's mouth surprises me anymore. Now I am REALLY concerned for the Jewish population in Iran. They need to get the hell out as soon as possible, but how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Didn't we already rid some country a few years back of a potential neo Hitler? Why can't we do the same now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishfan79 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Didn't we already rid some country a few years back of a potential neo Hitler? Why can't we do the same now? because our military forces are tied up in iraq. We are sporting the largest debt in the history of the US. The Economy is still crap no matter what they say. The popularity of the president is crap. The administration doesnt have the political power to explain and pull off another war unless we are attacked. So unless Iran attacks our troops in iraq then I doubt it. Even though I bet they are funding half of the insurgents. They are the ones connected to most of the terrorist organizations not Iraq. They are who we should of taken out first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are who we should of taken out first. And they have nuke capabilities. Anyway, my question was more rhetorical than anything, but I agree with your assessment.

Beinfest4Prez Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Well the media ain't talking about Africa so that means Africa is booming right? Thats really brilliant of you Money. Back on topic this begs the question of why didn't we just get rid of Iran instead of Iraq? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Let me clarify any issue the media sees fit to "bring down" (as some may put it) the President and the Republican party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that they are seperate, but the economy is not doing well over all. But, that isnt the point of the thread and numbers can be fudged in either direction. Didn't we already rid some country a few years back of a potential neo Hitler? Why can't we do the same now? because our military forces are tied up in iraq. We are sporting the largest debt in the history of the US. The Economy is still crap no matter what they say. The popularity of the president is crap.

You know how I know the economy is doing well? The media isn't talking about it. The media has the attention spam of a 4 year old child moments before the ice cream truck comes. But back to the subject. Anyone have 10 good reasons why the US didnt go into Iran instead of Iraq? They are connected to the terrorists where Iraq wasnt.
