Our goldenboy Ahmadinejad was in Kuwait weds , but he has to walk a tightrope in here while being the humble champion of the Shiite world , yet not offending the rest Sunni Persian Gulf Arabs that surround Tehran . Civil war in Iraq might not be the best thing in their interest....but where there is the internal sectarian religious conflict involved , who knows .
It didn't take long for the supreme Iranian mucky-muck to blame the CIA and the Mossad for the Samarra bombing, so the drama of this sterotypical soap opera just goes on and on predictably . These guys are very "believable" within their own borders to captive audiences . <g>
From the Tehran Friday sermon , " lets blame the "great satan & the Jews" again , what a tag team they have going , but not very imaginative though ingeniously stereotypical :)
Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, accused Washington of "trying to instigate a sectarian and religious war in Iraq, and the cataclysmic event in Samarra is a case in point", according to state television. On Friday, prayer leader Ayatollah Mohammad Kashani fulminated that "it is no secret that behind it [the Samarra bombing] is the Zionist Israel and the US".
He blamed "Mossad and the CIA" (the US Central Intelligence Agency) and called the "Earth's and the heavens' curses upon these two dirty and wicked organizations", which "have plans against the Islamic ummah" (community). |
