A Secret Love Affair.
This article is an absolute MUST READ. And do think with a little depth before spurting your usual nonsense on the comment section. Thank you.
Nearly two decades after luring the United States and Israel into selling arms to Iran's ayatollahs in exchange for the release of hostages held by Hezbollah in Lebanon, in a deal that became known as Irangate or the Iran-Contra affair, Michael Ledeen and Manouchehr Ghorbanifar are back in the spotlight, starring in a new political and intelligence scandal.
This time, however, they are involved not only in an attempt to go behind the backs of the U.S. State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency and to persuade the Bush Administration to establish secret contacts with the Iranian regime but are also suspected of being manipulated, unwitting, by Iranian intelligence. A new report by the U.S. Senate suggests that Iranian intelligence used Ledeen and Ghorbanifar to feed disinformation to neoconservatives in the administration of President George W. Bush in a bid to encourage a U.S. invasion of Iraq in order to defeat Saddam Hussein, Iran's arch-enemy.

I am sure more secret stories along the same lines will be revealed in the future...
But what is secret to you is no secret to Iraqis --- Without Iran's generous help and full collaboration, U.S occupation of Iraq would have not taken place.

While the debate as to what the reasons are behind the hike in oil and gas prices goes on, last October, Lindsey Williams talked about his first hand knowledge of Alaskan oil reserves larger than any on earth. And he talked about how and why the oil companies and U.S. government won't send it through the pipeline for U.S. citizens to use. In this video he reveals the actually reasons according to his first hand knowledge behind the attack on Iraq and the threat of attack on Iran.

Than you can decide for yourselves which theory is more plausible.
I don't believe in Ghosts. I believe those whom we think are dead are not dead and very much alive.
By the way what does your questions have to do with the video I forwarded about why the price of oil is what it is? You really should watch it....

'Time now for Iran-Arab dialogue'
Sun, 08 Jun 2008
A Saudi-based newspaper has written that dialogue between Iran and Arab states is a necessity because it helps increase understanding.
The Arabic-language Al-Riyadh added that common sense tells everyone to put aside their differences.
Both Iranians and Arabs should work closely together to resolve their common problems.
The paper noted that the proximity of Muslim nations prevents their enemies from achieving their main objective, which is getting rid of Muslims.
It urged the Arab states to create an atmosphere of peaceful coexistence, despite all difficulties.
Al-Riyadh noted that Iran and Arab countries are partners in many sectors including energy, human resources, tourism, geographic conditions, industry and agriculture.

And even if she was, there would be nothing wrong, Baath is a glorious ARAB movement that brought dignity and prosperity to Iraq and stood alone against BOTH Zionism and Iran for decades, not like your fake Hezbollah, wishy-washy Hamas or criminal Mahdi.
Again, I don't think that spamming blog sections will help you get rid of your obsessions.
I renew my advice to go see a psychiatrist.

You are hooked on these Iranians and these Zionists like an angel is hooked to god. Those Christian American soldiers would have blasted Iraq to hell ALONE. You think they need help? Come on. Don't let me down, here. And, after the Iranians climbed over the gate into the us embassy in Teheran a little while ago, the us gov is a little bit iffy about the Persian mob. Heck, they don't even wear ties, man! What sort of a bloke doesn't wear a tie? (I'll dash out 'an get meself one 'o those neckties right tomorrow.
"Both Iranians and Arabs should work closely together to resolve their common problems"
Had you for even once considered dragging that stinking head of yours out of your arse and put in the use for which it has evolved and proven very adoptive among most hman beings, you would have cared to discuss the points we raised regarding the events that had set off the Ara-Iranian war in 1979 and the Iranian destructive role in Iraq.
We- Arabs have no problems with Iran at all, we have done our duty towards our barabrous neighbours by bringing them alphabet twice ( Aramiac and Arabic), religon and civilsatio, fo inso far as I kknow the sole Iranian contribution to civilsation was made when they were ruled by Arabs and wrote in Arabic ( still way insignficant when compared to Arab achievements ).
But the dirty Iran never quits imposing iteself on Arabs; you have well defined borders and so are Arabs, then why don't you stick behind them and save us your unwelcome presence.
You may well take Turkey as an exampple in this regard. Getting by the pricipal of "good fence good neighbour" is all what Arabs want from Iran- and nothing else. Otherwise Al-Qudisyah 3 shall be your destiny.
1) Get off the booze for starters.
2) I did not delete your comments besides it's MY BLOG and am not your or anyone's secretary - this means I do what I LIKE with MY BLOG
3) I can't help it if you are totally ignorant about who IRAN's proxies are in IRAQ. All those suckers whom in all likelihood know nothing about from the PM to his aides to the militias who form the so called GOVT came from IRAN.
4) Writing posts here is like talking to a fucking wall.
You lost me lad.
If you'd just opened the video, you'd see that it was Malcolm-X..
Perhaps you think that recent US senator Strom Thurmon, one time defender of lynching blacks, was a great American.
I suppose you conveniently forgot all about the Ottoman Empire history and that you conveniently overlook that Turkey is one of the U.S. and Israel's greatest allies in the region.....LOL!
Not to forget that Saudi Arabia is a U.S. ally and Jordan and Egypt are U.S. allies who have peace treaties with Israel at the expense of the Palestinian people.
For the thousandth time you have proven me right, you are not only lying and mean, but also hoplessly stupid.
Ottoman empre is past tense and since the begining of the last century Turkey never had a serious problem with its Arab neighbours except for some occasional rare skirmishes over trivial issues.
Turkey's alliance with U.S was mainly directed towards the Soviet union. What counts is that, Turkey remained totally neutral regarding Arab issues, despite of its alliance with U.S and warm relations with Israel and tensions with Nasser and Sasddam they never took sides against Arabs althoiugh they were not fond of the gorwing Arab nationalist tide of the sixties.
That is exactly what we want, we neither want your good nor you evil. Just spare us your hateful Iranian presence. Using your ill logic, then Iran must hate Azeribayjan and Turcomnastan because they ruled over Persians for 800 years!
"Not to forget that Saudi Arabia is a U.S. ally and Jordan and Egypt are U.S. allies who have peace treaties with Israel at the expense of the Palestinian people"
Another pearl of wisdom coming of Western Iranian women.
Arabs have been fighting Israel for almost the entire 20th century. Where were the dirty Iranians back then????
Or is it that you think that by making some boombastic childish speeches like the ones the roash-head Najad is spwing , you are doing Palestinians any help?
Iran is not classified by Israel as a strategic enemy, which is not the case for Arab countries even those that have peace relations with Israel.
Secondly, it is totally non of your business, we are all Arabs among eachother, nothing is out there for you?
Why don't you just do like Turkey and keep your lice away from us.
As I told you more than once before I am married to an Arab and I have six Arab children...
Apparently in your eyes Arabs can do no wrong and those like the U.S., Israel, and Iran are the Arab's problems, not themselves....
Yet if this delusion of yours were entirely true, the Arab leaders and the Arab world should be united under the banner of so-called secular Arabism, and there would have never been an occupied and oppressed Palestinian people for sixty years now within a state called Israel, the U.S. wouldn't have military bases throughout the Gulf region and have gotten away with attacking, invading, overthrowing Saddam, and occupying Iraq right now, and Iran wouldn't be meddling in Iraqi affairs trying to look after what they see as being in their interest to ensure their continued independence and sovereignty from U.S./Israel meddling and hegemony in the region...

nur the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By a secular Arab Palestinian named Khalid Amayreh
12 June, 2008
Underscoring the ideological rigidity of the ultra-secular but undemocratic Kemalist ideology, Turkey’s Constitutional Court this week ruled that Islamic headscarves violated secularism and can’t be allowed to be worn at universities and other public institutions.
The verdict overrides a recent decision by the Turkish parliament allowing the hijab at universities as a matter of personal and religious freedom. It also sets the controversial court above the parliament and even above the collective will of the Turkish masses.
Indeed, it is more than mind-boggling to see female Muslim students granted full freedom to attend universities in Europe and North American with their headscarves on while Turkish students are denied the same freedom in a country where Muslims constitute nearly 99% of the population.
The military-dominated Kemalist establishment, which has been steadily losing public appeal as is evident from the outcome of the two latest general elections, claims that the hijab constitutes a mortal threat to the safety and survival of secularism in Turkey.
This rationale, however, is as irrational as it is silly, since it is beyond the pale of common sense to think that a small piece of cloth covering a woman’s hair poses a threat to the survival of secularism. In fact, one might argue that a secular regime that can’t tolerate, let alone survive, a woman’s headscarf is not worth maintaining.
Besides, true secularism shouldn’t really interfere with people’s choices and personal freedoms.
Nonetheless, it is obvious that the Turkish court as well as the military establishment and their allies in the media and business sectors have long come to view secularism as a kind of religion whose raison d’etre is to counter and, if possible, eradicate Islam.
To the chagrin of the anti-Islam Kemalist establishment, however, nearly nine decades of fundamentalist secular inquisition have utterly failed to realize this sinister goal. Turks continued to express their respect of and adherence to Islamic teachings and ideals.
Fascist ideology
While paying lip service to democracy, the Kemalist ideology actually shows little respect for genuine democracy and human rights. Kemalism (the political philosophy of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, founder of Modern Turkey) emphasizes the ideals of secularism, republicanism, nationalism, authoritarianism and patriotism. However, the ideals of democracy, human rights, civil liberties, civil society are discouraged and, if necessary, crushed, often through direct interference and intervention by the military.
The Kemalists say their goal is to “secularize and westernize” every aspect of Turkish life. However, these pseudo agents of western culture have utterly failed to adopt the basic western concepts of democracy and human rights.
Instead, they repeatedly acted to suppress and repress the will of the people whenever free elections produced governments the military establishment deemed incompatible with the Kemalist philosophy.
This military establishment had carried out at least three military coups against civilian governments in 1960, 1971 and 1981, leading to the dissolution of well-established political parties.
In 1998, the same notorious constitutional court rubber-stamped a decision by Turkish Generals to ban the country’s leading political party, the Refah (welfare) Party for “constituting a threat to the secular order.”
Prior to the decision, the military establishment waged a war of attrition against Prime Minister Necmettien Erbakan on several fronts, including the media, the all-powerful National Security Council and the courts. The military also pursued a foreign policy of its own by forging a strategic military alliance with another pseudo democracy in the Middle East, Israel.
This happened in a state which hypocritical western leaders kept referring to as the “other democracy in the Middle East.”
Now, in addition to once again banning the hijab from university campuses, the constitutional court is flying in the face of the vast majority of Turks by threatening to ban the ruling and most popular party in Turkey, the Justice and Development Party (AKP), headed by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Earlier this year, AKP once again won an overwhelming election victory following a standoff with the Kemalist establishment which had been organizing massive street protests in an effort to bring the government down.
However, it is obvious that the secular fundamentalists in Turkey are unfazed by the clear popular mandate granted to AKP by the Turkish masses, which explains their continued plots to corrode democracy and defy the will of the Turkish people.
Bankrupt
Unlike Marxism, for example, Kemalism is not an all encompassing ideology that provides explanations for such issues as history, society, man, God, ethics and nature. Hence, it lost much of its appeal especially in the past two decades as many societies and individuals reverted to religious ethos to ensure moral integrity and social cohesion.
In addition to its intellectual bankruptcy, the Kemalist establishment has also been quite opportunistic. In 1980, the leaders of the military coup, staged a military coup to stem the rising tide of violence between right-wing ultra-nationalists and militant Marxists.
Then, the establishment saw the great merit of encouraging Islamic ideas and education as an antidote to Marxism. In 1982, the military government made the teaching of Islam compulsory in secondary education, something that had been optional since 1967. (See Turkey: Erbakan’s Legacy, Middle East International, 11 July, 1997)
However, when Islamic or quasi-Islamic parties arose, which really don’t differ much from Christian Democratic parties in Europe, the Kemalists hastened to suppress them, arguing that secularism came before and overrode democracy.
Crossroad
Today, Turkey stands at a crossroad, which leads either to true democracy, development and modernity, or takes the country back into the throes of military dictatorship that would hang prime ministers for the pettiest deviation from the Ataturk line of thinking.
Mustafa Kemal, his worshipers must realize, was not Prophet Muhammed or Jesus Christ. And his ideals and principles don’t constitute a holy scripture.
Hence, the free will of the Turkish people should always override malicious efforts by the diehard Kemalist old-guards to perpetuate a sacrosanct ideology that had outlived its usefulness a long time ago.
In short, the Turkish people have every right to shun the anachronistic Kemalist ideology and free itself from the claws of its reactionary symbols, including the constitutional court.
Otherwise, Turkey will remain under the mercy of its self-serving generals and anti-democratic elites who so contemptuously and impetuously continue to disregard the will of the people. (end)
