Mossad was behind 9/11

by AMIR1973 on

has also the blood of 3000+ Americans on his hands as the 'master mind' of 911 attacks on US soils! But who is going to examine his dirty hands! Nobody!

Good cop, bad cop!

by Arj on

Israelis know that this "preemptive strike" business is a one-time shot (and not effective w/o the U.S. involvement), hence don't want their bluff called! That's why everytime the war rhetoric ratchets up too much, a retired somebody pops up, calls IRI rational and defuses the situation!

Has the blood of Iranian scientists on his hands. He should be tried and sentenced in the international court. 

By " NOW "  he means we CANNOT do it now but we WILL ASAP , whenever we get a chance.  

I said it many times before and i say it again. The entire thing has nothing to do with nuclear weapon.  It is all about the willingness to bow down to the banksters ... If they do then the problem will be solved and VF becomes as lovable as the Saudi's king.

Is this for real? Is anybody in the world except 'Fred' & his/her desciples going to give a damn thing about the Ex - Mosad's chief truckings? Mosad &  'honor?' Well. Keep on trucking! Your D - Day is right around the corner!

Meir Dagan ought to be commended. Go straight for the jugular.

by Simorgh5555 on

He is perhaps the most rational speaker of the Israeli political and military establishment. The Islamic Republic is a menance and murderer of its own people. As an Iranian I want to see the regime removed and the use of forse is inevitable. However, the right use of force must be used. If Netanyahu says that with or without nukes the IR remains a threat and sponsorer of terror then the emphasis must be on regime change. Deal with the heart of the problem; The wretched and corrupt Islamic Republic- the cancer of the world-the stain on mankind. Remove this regime NOW. Do not wait for Obama's prevarications and flip flop decision making. Strike while the iron is hot. FORGET THE NUKES and go straight for the jugular. Enhance target assassinations and surgical strikes on all sepah and Basij.

This is what I would do if I was the king of Iran in this situationGiven Trita's claims that Iran is willing to cooperated with the West on it's Nuclear issue. My Question is whether Iran is willing to give evidence of it's good will by abandoning it's Syrian Ally in exchange for the West abandoning it's politics of sactions ?  Hell no you can reinstate the sanctions the next day but can't bring asad and a die hard supporter back after his fall. On AIPAC and Syria and shimon prez, they know if hitler was reborn in Syria and now is trying to take over Syria they would care less. Hey no matter how much you hate israel you can't do shit to them look at Palestine. But they won't be friendly to iran so them being nationalistic can care less that it's brotherhood or what ever. Did they say anything about the peace boat from turkey? Or the chechnians in Russia? NO because it's not in their intrest to do so. You are doing the same thing (I hope unconsciously) since your nationalistic view does not fit IRI regime and most Iranian, since you think Pahlavi will correct everything and we can't get anything done in this regime. But for most of us it does not make sense to ignore history and submit to a regime that failed us before. And since you are so much about the flag how do you feel about bringing back qajar dynasty?? They came up with the flag and they have a crown prince and there have been around much longer than pahlaviYou can't ever forgive the past and be hopeful for future that's your problem. You are too jaded and old and can't believe Iranians are capable of recognizing self intrest. Yes those intrest are changing everyday when you point out hypocrisy you fail or don't want to see that they are as a result of IRI recognizing what is right for their survival ( this translates to people's survival when we talk about international affairs) even though internally it doesn't work for minority groups. Here is your hypocrisy you do see how Iran supporting asad is good for their survival, but lack of that for Muslims in china is not ethical though logical since we have no enamies on that side. But since you hate them you criticize them for both yet you call your self a nationalist

Mr. Kadivar

by Kingreza3 on

DK I am new to Iranian.com you clearly see hypocrisy and point it out (we are on same boat, that khalkhali son of a bitch was the worst and he was a reformist before he died, what a joke). I do also undrestand the attention that NIAC is getting and for those of you who know their background and motives is hard to jump on the bandwagon (i dont know much about them). Now here where we differ or I lose you, you understand that revolution ended up being bad for civil liberty but yet you agree with drastic change and regime change before writing whole bunch and risking doing all that on misunderstanding I really would like to know your stance on few things.
Do want a drastic regime change?
If yes how do you think it should be done? Be specific (10 pts. ) 
If no then do you like slow change 
To give you a glimpse into my kingly mind obviously beside making me life long king and pray me as a best king ever ever and I am willing to kill my brother for that (stolen from spicyjihad.com which is much better than paraziT)
The revolution is random and in recent history it seems it's extremely hard to predict the outcome or have a productive one when the outside world has some interest in the issue. as it's clearly the fact in Iran. I am no supporter of IRI but a believer of a lesser evil is the better one and I do think we can make something good from what we have in Iran that is primarily good for iranians (I don't know about Israel and united state's interests in the region)   

Do you think helping the opposition worked for Iraq? Or afghanestan? Do you really feel the answer is to find another individual to replace the current regime? I have seen you pointing out hypocrisy on other side but do you also see the hypocrisy on your end. As a semi neutral observer you seem more biased than those you critisize.

If there is anyone who goes with the Wnd it is YOUR Likeminds and Advisory board:

 

LOST IN TRANSLATION: NIAC Welcomes Hamid Dabashi on Advisory Board

 

COLUMBIA PRESENTS: Academic Excellence With Hamid Dabashi & Sadri Bros

 

But do send my regards to your Arab Parast Advisors who have showed their True Colors and level of "patriotism" by changing our Flag and spitting on our Identity for the past 33 years with Your Constituency's Silent Endorsement whilst closing an eye on the suffering of those "Muslim" brothers they admire so much Only good to be slaughtered all in the name of International "pacisfism" ...

So, basically, your answer is that Mr. Pahlavi will let others do the heavy lifting, and then based on which way the wind is blowing, Mr. Pahlavi will make a comment?!  Thank you.

MM regarding your Query

by Darius Kadivar on

My question to you is about Mr. Pahlavi and whether he will reiterate his previous call "Do Not Attack My Country", in response to Mr. Netenyahu and AIPAC?    My advice is that Mr. Pahlavi should speak now before the bombs fall down!  Don't you think so?

 

Answer: Not as long as You and Your Swedish Born Self Proclaimed President of your Self Proclaimed "Grass Root" Iranian American Organization keeps addressing  your Legitimate Sovereign : "Mister" ...

 

PRIMARY COLORS: Reza Pahlavi and Trita Parsi Take a Stroll Down The Political Lane ;0)

 

 

What step have YOU folks taken in our direction to demand another one in your direction ?

 

REZA's CALL: "Don't Bomb My Country" say's Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi

 

The best you've done is Keep endorsing the Islamic Republic's legitmacy and by that I am speaking not merely about Ahmadinejad's government but the Entire Regime.

This is Clearly obvious by your Joon Joony Trita's recurrent endrosement of of Stephan Kinzer's views on the Shah's regime and that of other of your Jomhurykhah likeminds.  

 

You Want Hambasteghi on Key Issues ? Then Give our Sovereign a sign of Respect !

"Mister" is not enough in My Book:

 

COMPLAINING JOMHURYKHAH: What Have the Pahlavis EVER Done For Us ? ;0)

 

And you and your likeminds do it each and everytime KNOWINGLY and on purpose !

 

If not then learn from a GENUINE PARSI :

 

Zubin Mehta Fondly Recalls Shah of Iran's Invitation to India's Parsi Community

 

Porroyeeyeh Namak Nashnasha ham Hady Dareh !

I have been watching your blogs/news on Syria and I applaud you for it. 

NIAC is definitely not as big as your organization or AIPAC to have mini-group on every human rights issue out there, but here is a NIAC-Insight blog where a NIAC-supporter commented on Ahmadinejad's call to Assad to respect the demonstrators' legitimate demands.  The bloger's advice to Ahmadinejad was "age baaghbaan-e khoobi hasti, baaghcheh-e khodeto beel bezan".

//www.niacinsight.com/2011/09/09/iran-hedges-its-bets-on-syria/

Part of the comment from the above blog is pasted below.  There are, of course other blogs and comments and all you gotta do is do a search like I did.

My question to you is about Mr. Pahlavi and whether he will reiterate his previous call "Do Not Attack My Country", in response to Mr. Netenyahu and AIPAC?    My advice is that Mr. Pahlavi should speak now before the bombs fall down!  Don't you think so?

My 2-cents' worth!

-----------------

Paragraph taken from the link above

"If only Iran had heeded its own advise with its protests over the disputed elections of 2009.  Did not the people of Iran have “legitimate demands” during their protests?  And did not the Iranian government use a “military solution” to end its own protests?  Where was Ahmadinejad with his support for democratic reforms then?  Oh yeah, he was benefiting from the very lack of such reforms in his highly suspicious and non-transparent reelection."


amirparvizforsecularmonarchy

Oon Yaroo, his point if you watch the rest of it, is that

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on

It makes no sense to only have 2 options, negotiations or war/attack, that the other options which have not even been considered or worked upon, like supporting the opposition make alot more sense, before you go towards a military approach.  He knows the internal politics of Iran, he knows the regime can't even count on 20% support and that if Iranians unite and have another path to follow then they will seize the opportunity and the regime will crumble with and a small number of extremist reminants will be suppressed by the mass.  He is looking at the day after and he doesn't want extremism to continue in Iran and see's how another group of extremists could come to power in the vacuum of power created by attacking the regimes bases of power and bankrupting it.

Well, I keep my focus to what is being discuss here…

by Bavafa on

As oppose to the obsession with Mr. Parsi.

 

 I look forward to watching the full interview, but I agree with him in the sense that the picture that is being painted by his counter parts in Tel Aviv are all but reality.  Also some facts may have gone amiss by some of our friends that for years now we have been told by Israel's official that IRI is only months away from a nuclear bomb and now ICMB.   Just wonder if the PM knows what ICMB is and the Iranian capability in that regard?

 

'Hambastegi' is the main key to victory

IR Regime and Rational, 2 R's That Never Blend!

by Oon Yaroo on

What this Kachal guy is saying is that we [Israel] need to wait a little bit longer to make sure when we have all the accurate information about the IRR nuke sites before we hit everything!?

The name of the game is, "All or Nothing!"

Mossad guys are much smarter than you think!

They are not going to leave any opportunity for the IR Regime the so NOT rational to be able to retaliate!

Do you get the logic all you joojeh/nocheh NIACies?

Attack Iran???

by jmyt17 on

 

Not a fan of IRI?

But why all of you trying to tell do not attack IRAN?

Are we missing a point??

If you can do it?

Why waiting?

These dirty insects akhoods waiting for it.

Do you undrestand it??


G. Rahmanian

Trita's claim?

by G. Rahmanian on

Then what do you make of what Trita Parsi said on the Daily Show?

Tape 2 Minute: 3:19 Trita Parsi says:

"But at the same time we have to ask ourselves, what is it that causes a country to desire nuclear deterrence?"

"The key reason is security and a sense of threat."

According to NIAC's boss IR's nuclear program is not for peaceful purposes, after all.

Also, if IR is threatened by Israel, then why do IR officials think they can wipe it off the face of the earth?


Darius Kadivar

AIPAC Officially supports Syrian Uprising What about NIAC ?

by Darius Kadivar on

It seems that AIPAC and even Israeli Officials notably Shimon Perez have recently dismissed fears of a recuperation of the uprising in Syria by Islamists despite evidence of Al Quaeda threats as well as influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in the uprising. 

 

Syria Uprising Gets A Hearty Embrace At Pro-Israel AIPAC Conference (FRANCE 24)

 

This is all the more remarkeable that both Al Quaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood are known for their desire to Wipe Israeli off the Map.

 

Given Trita's claims that Iran is willing to cooperated with the West on it's Nuclear issue. My Question is whether Iran is willing to give evidence of it's good will by abandoning it's Syrian Ally in exchange for the West abandoning it's politics of sactions ?  

 

Clearly the "Peace Loving" leaders of the Islamic Republic's staunch support for the Syrian Crackdown seems to suggest the contrary:

 

Anderson Cooper: "Iran stands firm behind Assad" (CNN, VIDEO)

  

 

So my Question is Does Trita Parsi share the views of one of his new recruit Majid Rafizadeh who believes in Regime Change in Syria and foreign intervention to oust the Syrian tyranny ? 

 

NIAC Ambassador Majid Rafizadeh: Appeasement with Iran But Sanctions & intervention on Syria? 

 

If Not then I suppsed the National Iranian American Council should probably drop the word "American" and replace it with "Russian" instead given that it seems to share more in common with Kremlin's New Tzar:

 

PUTIN ON THE RITZ: Putin Replaces 'Buddy' Medvedev as new 'elected tzar'

 

than with his equally clueless Fellow IRANICAN NIAC'ers ... 

 

 

SATIRE: The Burqa Republic of Our IRANICAN Dreams ;0)
