Cares Who????

No more surprises with the imprisonment, torture, & killing of AN’s foes when he treats/fires his own so called foreign minister this way. All that means: We have another psychopath as the president added to the list before him!!!!

PS: Beside cursing & the using of "F words, a typical AN's fan goes as: "Well... if thats the case, you will get your incompetent ass fired. So long ..."

loved your story Bus!

You know I often wondered why Iran adopted GSM instead of CDMA (which was at the time considered to be a superior and more rubust technology, and cheaper to implement from infrastructure perspective). I even wondered if it could be due to the fact the spread spectrum technology was originally developed for military coms applications. Or even IP issues with a certain company in San Diego in case Iran started some phone manufacturing actibity. Naive me!

Thanks for sharing the story. 

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

Salehi = Iraqi + Foreign Minister + Chief Nuke Negotiator =>

the Brits know what they are doing!

tabrizi,

Well, if we consider the wikileaks reports to be true ( assuming ), then thats a good indication of Iran's foreign policy failures in our relationship with the arab countries.

The countries which were advocating an attack on Iran are those who Mottaki visited regularly. This becomes even more intriguing since Mottaki is actually the one who advocated a softer tone in our foreign politics. It makes you wonder what the heck he was doing then?

We should also consider Mottaki's replacement. If you choose the chief nuclear negotiator as the head of your foreign ministry, you are sending a very strong msg to the 5+1 countries ( or the arab countries who supported an attack on our nuclear facilities ). At the same time, you have eliminated the only one who had less confrontational attitude towards the 5+1.

But the best part is to rub it in the face of the traditional conservatives. Thats the icing on the cake.

To "tabriz_balasi"

In many previous comments you had criticized Mottaki and now arguing about his firing. My friend hypocrisy is not allow on the name of Allah.

NO fear

why was mottaki incompetent you think? 

be an act at all times in the name of Allah.

«قاب» و «بادمجانهایش»!!!

برای یک «قاب» واقعاچه فرقی می کند که کدام بادمجان میرود و کدام می آید و یا چقدر بزرگ و یاچقدر کوچک است. مهم فقط و فقط وجود «بادمجانها» بدور «قاب» است که تهی بودنش را از خلایق پنهان میدارد!!!

Who cares...

When Ahmadinejad asigned special envoy and aides for Europe, Caspian region, middle east and etc, Manouchehr Mottaki should have got the msg to resign then.  Even when Mashaie went to Jordan and also met with Austria's ambassedor, still Mottaki didn't get the msg. Or maybe he got the msg and decided to ignore it?

Well... if thats the case, you will get your incompetent ass fired. So long ...

"don't be surprised since all them are US citizens!? "

Make it dual citizens. Don't forget Holy Canada.

Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.

don't worry Bus

The next government, and there will be a next government after IR is toppled, it is only a matter of time, history teaches us that, should copy a page out of IR's book on dealing with the ex-leaders. These people must either answer to Iranian people in a court of law, or should be assassinated. Don't worry, there is already an underground organization that is identifying, and making a list of these people. That time will come. I don't mind shooting a few of  them myself, and be more than happy to get the world rid of these infestations. 

Tahgord

You hezbollahis must have too much time on your hand to keep commenting on people, and things that are irrelevant. You keep labeling us as has been, yet spend more time than anyone else on this board arguing with us. I know you b**ches sit on your fat asses cashing those IR checks, and have plenty of time,  but come one dude, go do something that is relevant, and leave us has-beens alone. 

JaWad & Ali Akbar Salehi....

The two brothers, Ja'W'ad and Ali Akbar Salehi were born in Iraq and went to school in US, the former to USC and the latter to MIT for their Ph.D's.

During the height of the .COM era, JaWad (then an associate prof. @ Aryamehr/Sharif) was attending IEEE GLOBECOM2000 conference in San Fransisco in November of 2000 staying at Fairmont, one of the most expensive hotels!?

While sitting around the table and drinking Cognac (and yes he was drinking too) in the hotel lobby, I naively asked if it was a challenge for an Iranian university prof. (with low salary & almost zero travel budget) to make an expensive trip across the world attending a conference!?

JaWad's response was that compare to his summer vacations to Europe with his entire family, the trip to Frisco was nothing. Later during the conference, I discovered that he was a son of an ayatollah with strong ties to the core of IRR regime. I also found out that JaWad was trying to introduce the CDMA (the spread spectrum cellular technology) system in Iran but lost the battle to the stronger Akhoond Mafia who brought the GSM (the European) system!

The moral of the story is that if after the collapse of IRR some day you see these guys wearing tie and suit and walking down Madison ave. don't be surprised since all them are US citizens!?

Yeah, and I'm an American

Yeah, and I'm an American born Iranian. BFD.

And you people? You're Iran bashing has-beens. You're totally irrelevant. Totally.

"SALEHI IS AN IRAQI BORN IRANIAN"

Is a real suck up. Not withstanding the fact that Mottaki is not missed.

these freaks are supposed to be the leaders of iran???!!!

the idiot can't even speak correct farsi.....

what a shame that iran has to be ruled by a bunch of unqualified, illiterate thieves 

Thanks Rouzbeh...

;o))

Of pits and petties

Although some of us if not most don't attribute any significance to the IRI's in-fighting, I'm just wondering if Mottaki can now relate to Lee Bollinger and his description of A.N.

Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.

nagoo khar, begoo olagh!

Our friend "kahr" here does not deserve all these insults!

Dar zemn  na faghat khodesh, balkeh babash va jad va abadesh ham olagh hastand. 

Even Mafia had a bit of honour, and degree of rules and regulations when it came to internal fights over the stolen loot (here we are talking about hundreds of billions of Dollars of stolen oil money popping up from Senegal to trucks in Turkey or london bank accounts) 

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

Khodet Khari! :-)

      This fool denies that Mottakki was fired while on a foreign trip!! Ahmagh save your lies for something less obvious at least!

Do they really think Iranian people, much less the world is just a bunch of toddlers?! 

      A bigger goodbye party, my A$$!

He claims if positions in

He claims if positions in the system were going to be absolute, no changes could ever take place in our system/society.I like to know when/how can we make such change at the top?  Let’s start there and it will trickle down. People have fired theرهبر many times over, when is he going to listen to the people?

Mehrdad

He says IRI is based on: Akhlagh, Doosti va Morovat??? :o))) LOL
