Just fomenting more propaganda, so when Bush bombs it will seem like its for a good reason.
"Formerly imprisoned US scholar leaves Iran; She was accused of urging others toward revolution" by Ramin Mostaghim and Jeffrey Fleishman/Los Angeles Times September 4, 2007
TEHRAN - An American scholar accused of promoting revolution in Iran has been allowed to leave the country and reunite with her family in Austria, ending months of protests by human-rights groups and heated exchanges between Tehran and Washington.
The latest development came on the day President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran addressed a conference on human rights and cultural diversity. Ahmadinejad did not mention Esfandiari but accused the United States of violating human rights in its efforts to counter terrorism.
Ahmadinejad told the audience, according to an Iranian news agency report:
"They have established secret prisons and are kidnapping anyone they want at airports without any legal jurisdiction."
[Yeah, but AmeriKa's Zionist-controlled shit rags won't report on that.
That never makes news, only bloodthirsty terrorists and crazy Muslims do INHUMANE TORTURE to others!
AMERIKA'S SHIT DON'T STINK -- or so they think!!!
Unfortunately, I CAN SMELL the TORTURE STENCH and IT IS GAGGING!!!!!!!!!!!]
Then there is the diarrhea peddled by the New York Times:
"Iraqi Foreign Minister Demands That Iran Stop Shelling of Kurdish Area in North" by JAMES GLANZ
TEHRAN, Sept. 3 — Iraq’s foreign minister, Hoshyar Zebari, delivered a strongly worded demand to Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and other Iranian officials here on Monday to halt the shelling of a mountainous border region in Iraq’s north, where Mr. Zebari said the bombardment has driven as many as 3,000 Kurdish villagers from their homes and set orchards and fields ablaze.
[But Turkey can shell indiscriminately, and it has HARDLY BEEN MENTIONED -- if at all!!!!]
Mr. Zebari said in an interview that the Iranians, who have refused to acknowledge publicly that the shelling was taking place, did not dispute his account.
He said the Iranian foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, described the shelling as Iran’s response to guerrilla attacks against it by a group that is opposed to the Iranian government and is believed to have bases on the Iraqi side of the border.
Members of that group, Pezak, have claimed responsibility for attacks inside Iran, and they are believed to have shot down at least one Iranian helicopter in recent months.
[U.S.- or ISRAELI-trained agents to FUCK with Iran!!! Pffffftttt!]
But Mr. Zebari said the shelling of the villages was indiscriminate and was achieving little against Pezak positions, and he made clear that Iraqi patience was wearing thin with the bombardment, which has taken place intermittently for about two weeks.
“In a normal relationship between two countries, this amounts to an act of aggression,” Mr. Zebari said.
[So says a U.S.-installed PUPPET!]
In a news briefing during President Bush’s visit to Iraq on Monday, Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki also discussed the situation in the north and suggested that Turkey too was shelling across the border into Iraq.
Before Turkish elections last month, Turkey’s military staged an enormous troop buildup on its border and by some accounts was on the verge of a major attack, citing incursions by Kurdish armed groups from Iraq into Turkey. Some of those groups are believed to favor an independent Kurdish nation that would include parts of Kurd-dominated southern Turkey.
[But we never here about Turkey and their murder of Kurds because it was the U.S. who supplied the weaponry to do the job, mostly during fat-fuck Clinton's tenure!
All the HIDDEN MASS-MURDER of that guy, yet the Amurkn public thinks he was good times!
Public makes me want to barf!
Oh, the other reason is Turkey a CLOSE ALLY of ISRAEL!, whose Zionist press whores in the U.S. serve that shitstink state's agenda!]
The Iranian Foreign Ministry did not respond to requests in Tehran on Monday by The New York Times for comment on the bombardments, and a Times reporter accompanying the Iraqi foreign minister was effectively barred from a diplomatic conference attended by Mr. Ahmadinejad and Mr. Mottaki.
[Why would they want to talk to you Zionist-controlled, lying war-mongers?!?!
Just have to READ YOUR PAGES to SEE WHAT LIARS YOU ARE, Times!!!!!!!]
The Iraqi government had previously sent an official letter of protest to Iran about the shelling. Mohammad Majid al-Sheikh, the Iraqi ambassador to Iran, said Monday that Iran had ignored that letter:
“We have not received any sensible response from them. We demand that they respond to our protest.”
As senior government officials discussed the attacks, poor villagers in the area, which is north and east of the provincial capitals of Erbil and Sulaimaniya, were paying the price.
On Monday, Awella Saleem, 62, returned to his largely destroyed house near the border. He said his family was inside when bombs started falling several days ago:
“We survived by coincidence, and two of our family were injured. Why are we under such a savage attack by Iran? There is nobody in our village who would harm Iran.”
[Ask the U.S., asshole!]
Officials in the Kurdish Regional Government and the Iraqi Red Crescent Society, a relief organization, said that about 500 families had been displaced by the bombing. Othman Haji Mahmoud, the interior minister for the regional government, said last week that the government denounced the bombing and offered to open direct talks with Iran on the subject.
Members of Pezak are said to be Iranian Kurds essentially seeking autonomy for Kurds in Iran. How long their cross-border incursions have been taking place is not known.
[And if the Times did know, I'm sure they wouldn't tell us!
So it is the U.S. behind the CROSS-BORDER ATTACKS against Iran!
Yup, we drop crap all over, and nothing in the shit war dailies.
Iran shells a bit in self-defense, and the shitty Zionist war rags are all over it like flies on a pool of soupy diarrhea]
Senior Iraqi government officials suspect that the Iranian shelling may be in part a response to American assertions that Iran is supplying deadly weaponry to armed groups, particularly Shiite militias, in Iraq.
The United States has demanded that Iran stop supporting the armed groups, and now Iran is demanding that Iraq and the United States stop the Pezak attacks. Privately, Iran has said it believes the United States could be backing the Pezak group, an assertion that could not be confirmed late Monday.
[Yeah, you lying fucking stinkfucks wouldn't print it if you could confirm it, you Zionist fucking shitrag!
But you can FRONT-PAGE FALSE CHARGES against Iran, and FOMENT WAR, you fuckhole crap rag!!!]
Mr. Zebari said that controlling the group should fall to Iraqi government forces, in particular the Kurd-dominated national army in the northern region.
But with so many of those troops committed to security operations in the unstable center of Iraq, the northern government was short of troops to send to the border regions, he said.
In an interview near the border on Monday, Hawere Kareme, who described himself as a Pezak official, asserted that Iran was aiming to empty the border villages of Kurds and fill them with what he called Islamic extremists.
The sectarian tension between Kurds, who are generally Sunni, and Arab and Iranian Shiites is high in the area, adding yet another troubling dimension to the Iraq conflict.
Mr. Kareme: “Iran wants to destroy what the Kurds of Iraq have built and destabilize the province. Take a look at our headquarters and our fighters in the Kandeel Mountains; none of them was injured. These villages are far from our activities and movements, but Iran shells it fiercely.”
[Well, considering Iran is under attack from all sides and is threatened with nuclear annihilation by the fucking insane madman in the White House, they have EVERY RIGHT TO DEFEND THEMSELVES!!!!
So, fuck off, back-stabbing Kurd!]
