"Asked at the Manama Dialogue conference whether Israel's nuclear programme posed a threat to the region, Gates replied: "No, I do not."
The statement was greeted by laughter from a room filled with government officials from Middle Eastern countries."
This is what shit the Globe shovels:
"Gates warns that Iran remains a threat; Speech receives mixed reactions" by Ann Scott Tyson, Washington Post December 9, 2007
MANAMA, Bahrain - Defense Secretary Robert Gates argued forcefully at a Persian Gulf security conference yesterday that US intelligence indicates Iran could restart its secret nuclear weapons program "at any time" and remains a major threat to the region.
Tough and at times sarcastic, Gates described the Iranian government as an ongoing menace to the Gulf region not only for its nuclear aspirations but also for supplying weapons to insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan, backing the armed Islamic movements Hezbollah and Hamas, and developing medium-range ballistic missiles.
Does Israel fucking write this stuff or what? I'm gonna be sick, readers!
Gates said in a speech to defense leaders from 23 countries attending the Manama Dialogue, a security conference organized by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies:
"Everywhere you turn, it is the policy of Iran to foment instability and chaos, no matter the strategic value or cost in the blood of innocents."
Hypocritical asshole!
Gates acknowledged that the recent release of a US National Intelligence Estimate on Iran, which determined that the country halted its secret nuclear weapons program in 2003, was awkward and frustrating for the Bush administration.
Gates explained that the CIA director decides on the content and release, without influence from Congress or the executive branch:
"The estimate clearly has come at an awkward time. It has annoyed a number of our friends, it has confused our allies around the world in terms of what we're trying to accomplish."
Only ONE I can think of! And they ain't a friend, they a master!
By the way, Gates, the world knows what you are trying to accomplish:
The AIPAC/Clean Break/PNAC agenda!
Gates said. international pressure is the only impediment to Iran restarting its nuclear weapons program:
"Iran is keeping its options open and could restart its nuclear weapons program at any time - I would add, if it has not done so already."
What a NaZionist cock-sucker Gates is!
Gates urged countries around the world to demand that Iran "come clean" about its past nuclear weapons development and insist that it suspend enrichment, pledge not to develop nuclear weapons in the future and agree to inspections. Until it takes those steps, he suggested, engaging Iran in talks would not be productive.
Same fucking words as Bush! WAKE UP, AmeriKa!!!!
You got NEO-CON MADMEN in charge of your country!!
IMPEACH and CONVICT THEM ... NOOOWWWWW!!!!
Iran maintains that its nuclear program is for peaceful energy purposes.
Gates, a former head of the Central Intelligence Agency, at one point spoke mockingly of the Iranian government's agreement with the intelligence report:
"Astonishingly, the revolutionary government of Iran has this week, for the first time, embraced as valid an assessment of the United States intelligence community. I assume that it also will embrace as valid [US intelligence showing Iran is training militias in Iraq, backing terrorist organizations, and carrying out other hostile acts]."
What an insulting weasel! Whatta NaZionist PRICK!!!!
Iranian officials decided Friday not to attend the conference. In questions after Gates's speech, attendees voiced both approval and suspicion. Some accused the United States of a double standard for failing to object to Israel's possession of nuclear weapons.
Why would we? We GAVE it to them!
Gates, asked if he thought Israel's nuclear arsenal posed a threat to the region, initially said:
"No, I do not."
He added that, unlike Iran, Israel had never threatened to destroy a neighbor.
As he spit out Israel's jism!
To better counter Iran and other threats, Gates urged Gulf nations to shift their focus from bilateral military ties with the United States toward multilateral cooperation. Specifically, he called for a collective effort to develop regional air and missile defense systems, as well as a shared monitoring of waters in the region for terrorism, piracy, drug trafficking, and smuggling.
Translation: Support the Globalist Agenda!
Gates also endorsed the idea of forming an independent consortium that would give countries access to uranium enrichment for civil purposes. While that process can produce fuel for a nuclear reactor or a weapon, he said it could work with the proper controls.
Gates: "We ought to be thinking creatively about how the international community could provide such a thing."
So they can control everyone!
Well, Iran has the LEGAL RIGHT to do what they are doing, war-monger!
Some members of the audience challenged his rebukes of Tehran, showing the rift among Arab nations over the Bush administration's policy.
Gates, asked whether the United States would be willing to talk with Iran:
"[The behavior of Iran's current leadership] has not given one confidence that a dialogue would be productive. There can be little doubt that their destabilizing foreign policies are a threat to the interests of the United States, to the interests of every country in the Middle East, and to the interests of all countries within the range of the ballistic missiles Iran is developing."
I'm not commenting because I am outraged and angry at this little pecker!
Say the world Israel, because that is what you are talking about, shitfuck!
On Iraq, Gates said that President Bush's troop increase over the past year has helped quell violence and demonstrated an enduring US commitment to stabilizing the country. But he said the decline in US troop levels starting this month represents "risks and opportunities for the whole region."
Arab nations should back the Iraqi government, Gates said, because if Iraq fails as a state, the repercussions would be felt first and most profoundly in the Middle East. Gates ended his speech with a grim warning against underestimating the United States. Nazi Germany, imperial Japan, Fascist Italy, and the former Soviet Union all made that miscalculation.
Gates: "All paid the price. All are on the ash heap of history."
Talk about a SERVANT of ISRAEL!!!
Good God, Gates!
DISTORTING HISTORY and everything!
Of course, the Times completely fucks it up and LIES about the PUNCH LINE!!!

"Gates Sees Iran as Still-Serious Threat" by THOM SHANKER
MANAMA, Bahrain, Dec. 8 — Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said Saturday that Iran is a grave threat to regional security even without nuclear weapons, and called on Tehran to account for American intelligence that describes its support for terrorism and instability around the world.
Just days after Iran claimed political victory after a new American intelligence assessment found that Tehran had frozen its nuclear weapons program, Mr. Gates said Iran could restart those efforts at any time and must come clean about its efforts to build a bomb.
In a speech to a conference on regional security here, Mr. Gates dismissed those who suggested that the United States had a double standard on nuclear arms in the Middle East and that a nuclear-armed Israel was the real danger. He said that, unlike Iran, Israel had never threatened to destroy a neighbor.
Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has made aggressive comments toward Israel, including a call in 2005 for Israel to be “wiped off the map.”
Yup, except that is NOT WHAT HE SAID, and the WORLD KNOWS IT!!!
And yet, here is the Jew York Times REPEATING a FUCKING LIE AGAIN!!!!!
Mr. Gates mocked Iran’s praise of a new National Intelligence Estimate as a “watershed” — the first time Tehran has accepted the conclusions of American spy agencies. As the audience chuckled, Mr. Gates said Iran’s approval of the American intelligence estimate required it to accept other assessments of its behavior.
Except that is NOT WHEN THEY LAUGHED!!!! See the top of this post!!!!
So the New York FUCKING Times is caught LYING AGAIN!!!!
A TOTALLY DISCREDITED PUSHER of ZIONIST BULLSHIT -- that's what the New York Times has become!
Gates: “Since that government now acknowledges the quality of American intelligence assessments. I assume that it will also embrace as valid American intelligence assessments of its funding and training of militia groups in Iraq, its deployment of lethal weapons and technology to both Iraq and Afghanistan, its ongoing support of terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas that have murdered thousands of innocent civilians and its continued research and development of medium-range ballistic missiles that are not particularly cost-effective unless equipped with warheads carrying weapons of mass destruction.”
You ever get tired of shoveling NaZionist shit, Gates?!
I sure get tired writing about it!
The National Intelligence Estimate concluded that Iran had a secret nuclear arms program, but that it halted the effort in 2003. The response from Tehran was to describe the report as America’s confession of a mistake.
The defense secretary has consistently said that diplomatic and economic pressure should be the first choice to halt Iranian nuclear ambitions, and that military action should remain a last resort. His statements are softer than those of President Bush, who as recently as October invoked images of World War III to warn of the Iranian threat.
Gates, as would be expected of a former director of central intelligence, said:
"[Iran] cannot pick and choose [only the American intelligence it likes. The estimate] is explicit that Iran is keeping its options open and could restart its nuclear weapons program at any time — I would add, if it has not done so already.”
No, ONLY BUSH is allowed to DO THAT!!!!!
What a SHIT SCUM DIARRHEA FLAKE Gates is!!!!!!
The speech captured the same tone of calibrated irony that Mr. Gates used in response to a caustic address delivered by President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia to a regional security conference in Munich in February.
Gates was blunt in his assessments of Iranian action to provoke violence and instability around the world:
“There can be little doubt that their destabilizing foreign policies are a threat to the interests of the United States, to the interests of every country in the Middle East, and to the interests of all countries within the range of the ballistic missiles Iran is developing.”
Can't you say ISRAEL to the Arabs, asshole?
An Iranian delegation was invited to the conference, but organizers said no officials from Tehran were in attendance. In comments to reassure Persian Gulf partners that may fear American isolationism after the Iraq war, Mr. Gates emphasized Washington’s commitment to the region, and pressed for an area-wide missile defense system and increased cooperation on local waterways to counter terrorism, piracy, narcotics trafficking and smuggling.
We are NEVER LEAVING, folks, and the WARS are NEVER GOING TO END!!
He encouraged Gulf nations to move beyond bilateral relations with the United States in countering Iran, and offered as fertile areas of cooperation “shared early warning, cooperative air and missile defense, and maritime security awareness.” He urged allies to develop regional air and missile defense systems.
To underscore the importance of the regional dialogue, the American delegation to this year’s conference, sponsored by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, included for the first time the defense secretary; Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and Adm. William J. Fallon, the senior commander of American forces in the Middle East.
Gates: “The United States remains committed to defending its vital interests and those of its allies in Iraq and in the wider Middle East.”
Gates, during a lively question-and-answer period, was pressed on whether the United States had a double standard in organizing the world community to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons but not working to disarm Israel:
“Israel is not training terrorists to subvert its neighbors, it has not shipped weapons to a place like Iraq to kill thousands of civilians, it has not threatened to destroy any of its neighbors, it is not trying to destabilize the government of Lebanon.”
THAT is when the LAUGH TRACK ran, lying and distorting NYT!
And here is just a smidge more, reader:
"Iran Snub of Atomic Pacts Is Denied" By THE NEW YORK TIMESTEHRAN, Dec. 7— A former nuclear negotiator for Iran dismissed reports that the country’s current negotiator had brushed off previous agreements with Europe over the Iranian nuclear program.
Ali Larijani, the former nuclear negotiator, who is now the representative of the supreme religious leader at the Supreme National Security Council, said Thursday that Western news media had fabricated the comments, the news agency ISNA reported.
More ZIONIST BULLSHIT PROPAGANDA!
But WE SEE THROUGH THAT NOW!!!!!
And so do the Iranians.
Mr. Larijani, referring to Saeed Jalili’s --replaced Mr. Larijani last month -- talks with the European Union's foreign policy chief, Javier Solana, in London on Nov. 30:
“I spoke to Mr. Jalili and saw the transcript of the meeting, too. There was no such thing, and the Western media made it up.”
And we know who controls the Western media!
Mr. Jalili was quoted in London as saying last month that proposals made in past negotiations were irrelevant and that more discussions of a curb on Iran’s uranium enrichment were unnecessary.
A Western official who briefed The New York Times and other organizations on condition of anonymity quoted Mr. Jalili as saying:
“Everything in the past is past, and with me, you start over. None of your proposals has any standing.”
What "western official?"
I'll bet it was an ISRAELI AGAIN!
Case closed on the Zionist control of AmeriKan MSM and the shitscum NYT, readers!
