[Marxism] Re: Real Men Go To Tehran

[Brian Shannon <Brian_Shannon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

And there were Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, but Iran removed 
them to develop its own nuclear weapons. And Iraq was attempting to buy 
uranium in Africa, and those uranium yellow cakes are now in Iran. They 
are spread through the country and intermingled with sholeh zard. And 
the devices that look like those used by Hezbollah are aluminum tubes 
that look like the tubes in Iraq that looked like tubes used to develop 
nuclear capability.

And the boy who cried wolf too many times actually did sees wolves the 
first two times. In fact, all of the monsters in Grimm's fairy tales 
really did exist and dinosaurs peacefully coexisted with Adam and Eve 
in the Garden of Eden. However, the devil convinced Eve that the 
dinosaurs were really Weapons of Mass Destruction and she convinced 
Adam to attack them. It was for this that humans were driven out of the 
Garden of Eden. This was the earliest Really Grim fairy tale.

The latest Grim fairy tale (short of Blair's fulmination below) was of 
the WMD in Iraq. It was probably believed many Americans, but by none 
except the stupidest members of Congress, who voted almost unanimously 
to authorize the government to take us to war.

It was also believed by the soldiers sent to Iraq who attacked, killed 
and arrested of thousands of people looking for them, tortured hundreds 
of them in their search—thus creating Abu Ghraib and other torture 
chambers and contributing to a new blow-back for imperialism.

Blair suspects Iran role in Iraq attacks
The Associated Press

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2005
Prime Minister Tony Blair said Thursday that new explosive devices used 
against coalition forces in Iraq ''lead us either to Iranian elements 
or to Hezbollah.''

While stressing that Britain ''cannot be sure'' about Iran's possible 
role, the prime minister linked the issue to the diplomatic 
confrontation between Tehran and Western nations over Iran's nuclear 
program.

''There is no justification for Iran or any other country interfering 
in Iraq,'' Blair said during a news conference with Iraqi President 
Jalal Talabani.

On Thursday, Blair appeared to back away slightly from the accusations 
made a day earlier.

''We know that the devices are of a similar nature to those used by 
Hezbollah, and there are certain pieces of information that lead us 
back to Iran,'' Blair said. ''But I'm not saying any more than that — 
we cannot be sure of this.'' [But I am saying it because I like to say 
it, I won the election with only one-third of vote, and some people 
will believe it or believe that I ought to say anything against our 
"enemies."]
