Iran says it wants to help Lebanon find a crisis solution
Brunei News.Net Wednesday 14th May, 2008
Rejecting accusations of Iranian interference in the Lebanon crisis, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said Iran is only seeking a friendly settlement of the crisis.
Ahmadinejad told reporters in Tehran he was only trying to recommend that βthe intelligent people of Lebanon be allowed to decide for themselves.β
He added that he and Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah had agreed to appoint their two foreign ministers, Saud al-Faisal and Manouchehr Mottaki, to follow the issue and find a solution.
But Saud al-Faisal has said that Iran's support for the coup of the pro-Iranian Shia movement Hezbollah in Lebanon would affect Tehran's ties with the Arab countries.
Iran has several times accused the United States and Israel of trying to sow the seeds of discord within the political factions in Lebanon.
Tehran said last week that Iran's sole intention was to play a constructive role in the Lebanon crisis and create a balanced relationship with all Lebanese groups.
Groups linked to Iran and Syria have been accused by the US and Israel of fuelling violent clashes in Lebanon, where the pro-Iranian Shia movement Hezbollah has taken control of much of West Beirut.

Iran says it wants to help Lebanon find a crisis solution
Iran treats its own people like slaves, what respect would you expect them to offer others.. Iran surely can not lay blame on any other country.. Iran’s ruling Mullahs are showing their true colours by what they are doing,, not what by what they say..

The Topic is about how Iran
It is very simple.. look at how Iran treats its own people? Try speak out and speak your mind about the government? Try do many of the things we do in the west and take for granted.. No country is perfect, i know, but what has Iran given the world? We sit here chating thanks to a system developed for the world by the west and all Iran wants to do is develop nuclear bombs to deliver to the world.. What good has Iran done for it’s own people let alone the rest of the world?

Hey Iran order Hezbollah to quit playing games!
Everyone knows you control those puppets!
Quit funding proxy armies all over the place!
Quit supplying arms and training to terrorists in Iraq while your at it!
At some point your government will trip up enough and someone will be forced to lay the smack down on it I hope the normal people will be abe to get out of the way.
When that happens I will be cheering on who ever does it.
Hopefully the people of Iran will wake up one day and say enough to the criminal mafia style theocracy ruling Iran with an iron fist. Hey buddy theocracies are a thing of ancient times the dark ages come into the light!
Iran was one of the most educated first world contries in the middle east now look at them the women are forced to wear tents and are beaten for showing to much face.
Honestly what makes a man happier then being able to look at a well dressed atractive female walking down the street.
No wonder they are all going crazy over there.
Just remember if it can happen there it can happen anywhere.

USAID replaces corrupt Franco
with ex-CANF capo
BY JEAN-GUY ALLARDâGranma International staff writerâ
⢠IN order to “solve” the systematic fraud uncovered in its accounts by a General Accountability Office (GAO) investigation a few months back, the USAID has replaced the corrupt official Adolfo Franco with none other than José Cárdenas, a former director of the Cuban-American National Foundation (CANF), the organization that was most aided by the squandering of federal funds in fraudulent operations.
Franco, a high-ranking Bush official “caught” by the federal auditing services presenting millions to Cuban-American mafia capos, suddenly announced in January 2007 that he was resigning from his post at USAID â the supposed U.S. Agency for supposed International Development â to join the campaign team of presidential aspirant John McCain. For those who do not know it, McCain is president of the executive of the International Republican Institute (IRI), an intervention mechanism suddenly subsidized to the tune of millions of dollars by USAID.
Francoâs exit occurred a few weeks after the publication of the GAO report, which demonstrated concealment of the whereabouts of $65.4 million given over 10 years by the federal official to his buddies in Miami and Washington in the framework of a subversive anti-Cuba operation.
His replacement, José Cárdenas, the son of Colombian parents from MedellÃn, was a top executive member of CANF from 1986.
He was director of research and publications, a spokesman for the organization and finally chief lobbyist for the Foundation when that mafia organization had a luxury “embassy” in Washington, a real-estate complex bought in 1986 for $1.7 million by Jorge Mas Canosa.
For years, Cárdenas was one of the great defenders of Radio and TV MartÃ, financed by the U.S. government to overthrow the Cuban Revolution via media warfare and subversion. According to the U.S. press itself, tens of millions have been squandered on that institution, well-known in Miami as a refuge for friends of Bush and a sanctuary for unscrupulous officials.
After the bankruptcy of the mafiosi “embassy” in the federal capital, Cárdenas moved on to become principal advisor of the Republican Senate Committee for Latin America.
He is a close friend of Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and her two bodyguards, the DÃaz-Balart brothers. It is said that he played a part in the development of privileged relations between the three politicos and right-wing Colombian circles of dubious reputation.
LOS ANGELES TIMES TELLS ALL
Washingtonâs interference in Cuba is best described by the word “barefaced," after reading a recent report in the Los Angeles Times in which Cárdenas describes how the Washington overseas corruption agencies are to spend $45 million designated for subversion in Cuba during the present year.
Without awaiting the announced tenders, the official reveals that, from now, the “greater part” of the $45 million assigned to Cuba is to be spent on “cell phones and Internet equipment." Preparing the ground for new disappearances of funds, he adds that there is a risk of the “regime seizing a lot of material..."
The Times reminds its readers that the GAO audit of USAIDâs anti-Cuban activities reported a number of slapdash purchases by the contracted Miami “fighters:" cashmere sweaters, Godiva chocolates, Nintendo games and Sony Play Stations, supposedly destined to grease the palms of the staff of informants at the U.S. Interests Section in Havana.
Cárdenas confirmed to the Los Angeles Times that USAID is to begin channeling its anti-Cuba millions via Prague, where it has its allies thanks to the not-so-altruistic cooperation of Petr “Peter” Kolar, the Czech ambassador in Washington, a worthy student of the U.S. special services.
According to Cárdenas, the money is to be largely distributed among a number of European NGOâs.
“Given that they are not U.S. organizations, it will be easier for their staff members to enter Cuba and establish contact with the people," affirmed Francoâs replacement with astonishing candor.
Although the announced bids have not been awarded, it is already known that the Czech NGO People in Need and the French Reporters sans frontiers are among the winners of this exceptional millionaire lottery.
While the USAID webpage has been announcing for weeks a meeting in Washington for “anyone” who wishes to present projects and apply for part of the booty, the winners of this new version of an old trick are already known in Miami.
About one month ago an unexpected police investigation “blew” Felipe Sixto, the former right-hand man of Frank Calzón, CIA agent and millionaire owner of the so-called Center for a Free Cuba. The White House official, a very special advisor to the presidency, had been siphoning off hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years without his boss â he said so himself â having any doubts about him.
A show recently organized by Kolar and his troupe in the Coral Gables Biltmore Hotel clearly disclosed the new subversion plan against Cuba dreamt up by the Langley hardheads. Cuban-American Senator Mel MartÃnez, who was present at the meeting, stressed the need to involve “other countries” in the anti-Cuba strategy.
It cannot be denied that José Cárdenas, the new USAID “administrator” for Cuba and Latin America, has experience.
In 2004, while he was working in another State Department post, was personally charged by Bush to “review” his imperial Annexation Plan for the island. Among other things, the plan proposed to throw tens of millions of dollars at all those Miami groups, whose links with the worst forms of terrorism against Cuba are even documented in FBI files.

The US, Cuba, Latin America is not the point of the discussion!
Create a NEW thread about the above propaganda hit piece if you desire!
All you have done is redirected ONCE AGAIN TO ATTACK THE US!
Why do you redirect the discussion away from the troublemaker Iran pretending to want to help Lebanon?
Iran is the source of unrest and strife in Lebanon you idiot.
I understand full well the why so don’t even go down the “no no you don’t understand” diatribe!
Pundit
propagandist
liar
coward
uncle tom
discredited
All the above terms and many others you have thrown around in attempts to cover up your very obvious agenda!
All the above terms and any others you attempt to label me with all fit you perfectly.
Such hypocrisy deserves notice and scorn.
We won’t even touch the subject of Libel or Defimation you engage in.

It is true, Iran will do, gooodie,goodie. Will they help or instigate. More instigation than any thing else. Would trust the present Iranian regime today. Come on tell me.

~galljdaj+ 05-14-08, 02:09 PM |
Only a messianic fool can't make the connection!
The article claims Iran is the corruption.
The article fails to prove the corruption even to a single simple piece of proof, Insteads reiterates a shouted US claim that has been repeated thousands of times each without a single proof! The few times proof has been attempted, it was quickly shown to be a lie or false concoction. Yet lots of monies were spent it the claims! Lot of US NATIONAL rESOURCES WERE WASTED.
What’s irrelivant about a case study of US Propaganda? And if you were capable of connecting a title to the materials your comprehension would begin! You could then find the Formula is the same Formula! Just different portions of the World. But there is a common sponsor! A common War Monger! A common terrorist! A common instigator! And a common seeker of gains!
But the poor messianic is way over his head at this point! you forgot about being a name theif, and being the poor lil abused boy calling for mama. Clearly these get your attention, while the 'truth' of the Article escapes you!

Thanks for the question waca...
I don’t know if Iran is a bad guy or a good guy in the 'events' of the Middle East. Surely they are involved and have a right to be involved.
If there is a rightness involved in the Monroe Doctrine, Iran has rights. The US HAS NONE.
Its clear the US has been interferring in the Middle East for Profits.
My belief is the Peoples of the region are the one to decide, not the US policy makers for their bribers and profit takers.
I believe the US has the opportunity and should use it, to offer 'wisdoms' if in fact we have some, but interventions, No!
About 'trusting' I do not trust the likes of those that install puppet leaders like the shaw of iran, and use US Tax Dollars to prop up murdering regimes for Profits!
The Peoples of the area need to be in control and to decide their own fates, not the US and Our CIA! sECRETCY IS NOT TRUST WORTHY!
I do not see trust as an issue or a matter of inclusion. Our Voice is that of an Outsider and not of a Decider!
Now would you like to provide the same insights?

Not the first time the lil coward jumps to defend a runaway...
... , and certainly he posts under false names, so is he also 'waca'?
Are they brothers of desception working to confront criticisms of the 'establishment'? Since they do not present any arguments for a better world, only hate for certain peoples and justifying the killing by 'priviledge few’the motives certainly muffle the din of their words.
Now how could the lil coward ask the question, 'what good has Iran done for the world?', when the US was taking Oil out of Iran at half price for some 25 years!? And Murdering Iranians that objected!?
Now I don’t see these as 'goods', but the way the lil coward hates Iranians, its a pretty good guess he sees the thefts as goods!
We can tell his panties have been wet about it ever since the Oil was cutoff!
Now all of a sudden he is worried about the People! YET HE IS AN ADVOCATE OF KILLING THEM ALL!
tHE POOR LIL SOD !

You have an answer

Like most people the poster Waca has a life and is not on the clock or frantically refreshing this site like you.
Are they brothers of desception working to confront criticisms of the 'establishment'? Since they do not present any arguments for a better world, only hate for certain peoples and justifying the killing by 'priviledge few’the motives certainly muffle the din of their words.
Most certainly we are not brothers nor do we know each other!
I doubt he even remotely holds the same views as me except possibly the view that you’re an idiot.
Now how could the lil coward ask the question, 'what good has Iran done for the world?', when the US was taking Oil out of Iran at half price for some 25 years!? And Murdering Iranians that objected!?
Simple question what has Iran done for the world!
The question was not about the US, The Shah, Jimmy Carter, Hostage situation, Ronald Regan, Mohammed Mosaddeq or the old Persian empire!
Are we to understand that you are to stupid to answer a simple question honestly?
I see the art of deflection being attempted yet again to shunt the question to ground and resurrect the evil Us argument! Typical Pundit no nothing reaction! You get no mileage or pay for answering a simple question about a criminally insane regime like what now rules Iran!
Now I don’t see these as 'goods', but the way the lil coward hates Iranians, its a pretty good guess he sees the thefts as goods!
Actually you’re wrong as ever I dislike the government of Iran!
I dislike most strongly the ferret faced little bastard President of Iran.
Persians tend to be a warm family oriented people even when under the ISLAMIC THUMB!
We can tell his panties have been wet about it ever since the Oil was cutoff!
Sorry man I was a little kid during what you speak of I couldn’t care less about Iranian oil or oil at all!
I care more about alternative fuels and peddle power!
Now all of a sudden he is worried about the People! YET HE IS AN ADVOCATE OF KILLING THEM ALL!
tHE POOR LIL SOD !
Don’t ever confuse my defending my country with defending the horrid decision of the CIA!
I advocate regime change by fomenting revolution and empowering the students of Iran who want change to overthrow the corrupt government.
In doing so somehow that always includes killing a few bad apples.
One way to empower the people of Iran is to give them a choice the below link will allow them to choose.

~galljdaj+ 05-14-08, 09:40 PM |
Well Waca, Sorry but you don't control my answers.
First off, Its not just a yes or no and then argue question. It was a simple question and you got the simple answer.
Its clear that YES TRUST OR NO TRUST are both wrong for me. Immaterial answers are just that!
Now you have failed to answer the question posed to you! And now that you have answered by expressing dissatisfaction, I take it my comment about lack of honesty in your question, is correct. You certainly have failed your responsibility.
