Ahmadinejad Supports "suspicious" Talks

Ahmadinejad said today that he was in support of the Iran-American talks on Iraq but was suspicious of the motives. "We essentially do not trust the Americans but we will conditionally negotiate with them about Iraq while taking into account the interests of Iraqis and the world of Islam," said the Iranian president. The talks themselves have already been approved by the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final word in Iranian matters. Ahmadinejad also said, "The enemies seek to prevent us from making progress by massive propaganda but, hopefully, this year the Islamic Republic of Iran will fully master the nuclear energy for peaceful purposes." Another statement came from Manouchehr Mottaki, Iran's Foreign Minister. "Some of the permanent members of the Security Council ... are seeking to achieve certain political goals about Iran's nuclear case and beat the drum of confrontation."

Ahmadinejad Attacks American ME Policy

“America plans to divide Islamic countries by driving a wedge between them and turning them into its puppets, while a united position by the Islamic world can roll back America and Israel hundreds ofkilometerss. Presently, the real crisis is in America and the West. Not only are they facing widespread domestic crises, but they are concerned by the resistance in Palestine and they are on the verge of being destroyed in Iraq and in Afghanistan. For this reason they try to create divisions to export their problems to other countries. The recent events in the region showed that Islamic countries have begun a movement to push forward. If they continue to push this movement forward with correct understanding and complete unity, as well as bravery, resistance, and steadfastness, the conditions of the region will completely turn infavorr of the Islamic world," said Ahmadinejad at a meeting in Tehran with the Syrian Vice-President Farouq al-Shara.

Ahmadinejad was not a popular presidential choice -- he only won so as to oust the prior administration.

He now uses rhetoric to try and coalesce the Iranian people and win their support.

For sure, the U.S. has used its own heavy rhetoric to try and intimidate Iran. This will fail, as the country's leaders are insisting upon self-determinism -- the right to decide for themselves how they are to live and be governed.

Ahmedinejad is a definite sponsor for the CFR, I am placing bets he has to be an agent of the west...
