I'm only surprised it took him this long to blame them.
 ANdy Ahmadinejad: US, Israel attacked shrine By ASSOCIATED PRESS TEHERAN, Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blamed the United States and Israel on Thursday for the blowing up of a Shi'ite shrine's golden dome in Iraq, saying it was the work of "defeated Zionists and occupiers." Speaking to a crowd of thousands on tour of southwestern Iran, the president referred to the destruction of the Askariya mosque dome in Samarra on Wednesday, which the Iraqi government has blamed on insurgents. "They invade the shrine and bomb there because they oppose God and justice," Ahmadinejad said, referring to the US-led multinational force in Iraq. "These passive activities are the acts of a group of defeated Zionists and occupiers who intended to hit our emotions," the president said in a speech that was broadcast on state television. Addressing the United States, he added: "You have to know that such an act will not save you from the anger of Muslim nations." The attack on the Askariya shrine - which contains the tombs of two revered Shiite imams descended from the Prophet Muhammad - was widely condemned in the Arab world on Wednesday. Jordan's King Abdullah II called it "heinous." Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora said it was aimed at "splitting Shi'ite and Sunni Muslims." And Kuwait's new emir, Sheik Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah, said those who target holy places and kill innocent people "are as far as can be from the teachings of Islam." But some Islamic clerics and the Lebanese Hizbullah organization blamed the United States. "We cannot imagine that the Iraqi Sunnis did this," said the influential Sunni cleric Sheik Youssef al-Qaradawi, an Egyptian who lives in Qatar. "No one benefits from such acts other than the US occupation and the lurking Zionist enemy." Radical Iraqi Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who cut short a visit to Lebanon to return to Iraq after the blast, said blame must be laid either with the Americans or the Iraqi government. www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1139395471579&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull |

Yep. We have bombs that can level cities and vaporize a couple of blocks at a time, but we can't completely take down a mosque.

Just proves how STUPID that FUCKER is. Yep.....he's right. We blew up the place up so that we'd enrage the diaper heads even more and put our own troops at greater risk. They have our strategy all figured out. Man....no wonder these savages still live in the stone age. IQ's of apes.

Given the crappy construction of that mosque, a 2000lb JDAM would have turned the mosque to dust and obliterated the two minerettes and left a nice 20 foot crater.

I would disagree, he is fairly intelligent in what he is doing. Look at the current "cartoon" riots. Imagine how many muslims he can get to go berserk, riot, and kill other muslims and non-muslims by directing the blame at the US and Israel instead of where it belongs. |

Iran has funded insurgents throughout Iraq since we got there.
Think about that. They probably sponsored it themselves to insure a UNstable Iraq. They DON'T want a fledgling democracy right next door. |

Bingo. And this is why I do not understand the muslim world. Muslim insurgents did this. Muslim insurgents have killed thousands of OTHER muslim people in Iraq. Muslim insurgents cut off more muslim heads than white devil heads. So why in the hell won't most muslims tell them to FOAD??? Why is there such a reluctance to say ANYTHING negative about the people who don't give a damn if they kill other muslims? How can their "struggle against the occupation" be believed when they spend most of their time killing fellow muslims and seeking to oppress them??? |

That is exactly correct. Iran has been trying to get the Shiites and Sunnis at each others throats since the war ended. And that is the only reason that it was done. |

I knew the Mossad and the CIA were up to something! I got a linky from Moonbat central that kinda fills in the blanks-
"Tanning Salons overbooked, Iman Ayatoola Kookiemammy sees disturbing trend" - (AP- posted 1 hour 33 mins ago) In a disturbing trend, it seems many pastey white males with jarhead haircuts and yellow shooting glasses have been flooding into local Washinton D.C. tanning salons. "I belive this is a part of the CIA's training" said Kookiemammy, "They need to look more like the Arab so they begin by getting nice tans and empting the local CVS of Black hair dye" Then, the iman insists, they learn to speak Arabic and learn how to bomb Mosques and kill Peaceful freedom fighters. "There is no limit to the Evil of the CIA, They even stop brushing their teeth and using deoderant is order to blend in better with the local Insurgents, This is a clear violation of the U.N. convention on lawful combatants. It states the no Soldier may smell or have bad breath unless they are Terroris......er i mean freedom fighters." The Secretary General, Coughy Assan, also echoed similiar concerns saying "This is teh worst form of Islamophobia i have ever seen". See? I knew it i fucking knew it! But will the MSM pick up this story? NOOOOOO! thank God for Moonbatcentral.com! I just can't wait till they finally catch one of these "cia spooks" planting a bomb in a super holy Mosque or tomb then drag him out for all the world to see! I guess they'll have to let that tan fade first though. |

+1 This guy isn't stupid at all. His government is VERY UNPOPULAR in Iran, and his "defiance" towards the west on their nuclear program has really given him a lot of populatory at home, which has only been stretgthend by the enigneered catroon "outrage" and now he is trying to tack this event onto it as well. |

The Times in Britain gets it....
In the name of Islam Iraq's neighbours must do more to halt the spiral of violence Sacrilege could hardly have a more brutal or blasphemous face. To destroy a shrine as central to Shia Islam as St Paul’s is to Anglicanism is an act of spiritual and religious desecration calculated to exact a bloody human toll. Already, it has done so. Far beyond the borders of Iraq, a country almost inured to suicide bombings, the destruction of the Samarra mosque and the retaliatory attacks on at least 90 Sunni mosques across the country have left Muslims aghast. How long will a few spiritual and political leaders be able to urge restraint before Iraq is plunged into general bloodshed by the incitements of sectarian leaders and retaliatory vengeance — the random murder of clerics, shooting of Sunni prisoners and execution of hostages? Until now, Iraq’s neighbours have pretended the turmoil on their doorstep was none of their concern, while giving covert and deadly support to some of the extremists leading the insurgency. Now all can see where such irresponsible meddling leads: to polarisation, desecration and the brink of civil war. The reaction has been as depressing as it is familiar. Most of the Arab world, so angrily denunciatory of the insult perceived in the Danish cartoons, has remained silent. Iran’s deluded President has gone further: the destruction of the golden dome at the Askariya shrine was the work of “defeated Zionists and occupiers”, he ranted to a crowd, insisting that the Americans had bombed the mosque because “they oppose God and justice”. If others in the region hope to halt such reckless incitement before it spills over into their own countries, it is time to do something now. Bloody clashes between the Sunni minority and Shia majority in Iraq will not only wreck that country’s chances of forming a government of national unity; they will also inflame lingering religious animosities across the Muslim world. No one should be more aware of this danger than Saudi Arabia, a country still struggling with a terrorist challenge inspired by the same religious fanaticism that drives al-Qaeda and the Samarra bombers. The Saudis have a long and shameful record in the treatment of their own Shia minority; and there are still elements within the powerful Sunni clerical establishment that would welcome a continuing crackdown on “heretics”. Condoleezza Rice, who yesterday held talks in Riyadh, had little need to point out the urgency of steps that the wider Muslim world should now take. The first should be an immediate condemnation of the attacks on mosques, Sunni and Shia. Secondly, Iraq’s neighbours — and especially Saudi Arabia — should offer money and expertise to rebuild the Samarra shrine. That would send a clear signal to the country’s Shias that Sunni extremism does not have the backing of Sunni governments. Thirdly, the Arab world, which often calls for greater cohesion and solidarity, should, instead of shunning Baghdad for fear of condoning the allied presence, take a lead in Iraq. Why does the Arab League not rise from its own lethargy and offer political mediation, conciliation and support to the newly elected politicians? Iraq’s resilience is being tested as never before. It is, however, ominous that religious leaders have begun moving into the trenches with mutual denunciations. The terrorists want a religious war; it is up to Iraq’s spiritual leaders, with the necessary support from the country’s neighbours, to thwart such a dire outcome. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,542-2055995,00.html |
