Iran 'biggest threat to Mid-East'
Source: BBC

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has warned that Iran poses the biggest threat to US Middle East interests, as she begins a major regional tour.

Ms Rice was due to visit Egypt along with Defence Secretary Robert Gates, after Washington confirmed plans for a massive arms deal for the region.

The tour is aimed at uniting US allies against Iran, Syria and Hezbollah.

Ms Rice denied Iranian claims that US policies were spreading fear in the Middle East.

1. I must disagree with our Esteemed Secretary of State
I believe that the country she represents might be the bigger threat, but what would I know.

2. Bush is by far the biggest threat to Mid-East
His illegal invasion has cost thousands of Iraqi lives.

10. Bush has done more damage to US interests in the Middle East
than any of our so-called enemies. And Condi has proved to be entirely useless as Secretary of State.

Bush is the biggest threat to peace everywhere. Don't those idiots know that their creditability is completely gone (not that they ever had any) Condi is pathetic.

8. We supply the entire middle east with enough weapons.....
to keep war and unrest boiling over until we've extracted every drop of oil from the region. Yet Iran is the problem? :eyes:

I'm with 'ya on this one. Big fucking joke, indeed.

7. Heres the money quote
"There isn't a doubt, I think, that Iran constitutes the single most important, single-country challenge to... US interests in the Middle East and to the kind of Middle East that we want to see."

No there is no doubt about that Condi. And US interests of course are of the utmost importance to the world arent they Condi? Yes its all good and moral for "US interests" to decide the fate of millions of people, their countries, their resources. The US "wants to see" the Middle East bow down to Israel and the mighty US and is perfectly legitimate and moral to do whatever is necessary to bring that vision to the world.

Condi you are war monger, a war criminal and a liar. You are a murderer of innocent men women and children...children for gods sake. So please....just shut the fuck up...please.

9. Now read it again: "biggest threat to US Middle East interests". That means
Iran just might want the USA out of Iraq and the whole region. We're only there to steal the oil and set up our empire, so anything that gets in the way of that is a 'threat'.... including most of us.
