Quoth Ahmedenijad on Saturday:

Iran`s president called Britain ``arrogant`` Saturday for not apologizing, media in Iran reported.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad -- in remarks carried by state radio and reported by the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency -- said, ``The occupying British forces entered our waters, and our border guards, with courage and alertness, arrested them.``

Instead of issuing any regret or displaying any shame, Britain postured, he said, issuing declarations and making speeches.

``These arrogants, due to their arrogant mentality and selfishness, instead of apologizing, they acted as if we owe them,`` he said.


Haha.

Ahmadinejad also took a wider swipe at Britain and other Western nations.

``In the last 300 years, the arrogant powers have been stealing from other nations. They have enslaved the people of other nations,`` he said.

He said that after World War II, the Western countries ``declared themselves the winners and created international organizations in order to continue their domination over the rest of the world.``

``The arrogant powers unfortunately today are openly breaking the laws that those international organizations they themselves founded and created,`` Ahmadinejad said, according to IRNA.


Haha

Under questioning, Burns acknowledged Iran`s heavy dependence on imported gasoline was a ``point of leverage`` for the United States as it continues to pressure Tehran to rein in its nuclear program.

Iran imported 150,000 barrels of gasoline per day in 2005, when its total consumption was 400,000 bpd, making it the second biggest gasoline importer after the United States, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

But a European diplomat told Reuters there had been ``no definitive discussions yet`` among major powers about sanctioning gasoline, which would be complicated by the fact that much of Iran`s supply comes from India.

WSJ Opinion today suggests that the leverage is OIL with Iran. Iran is awash with cash from Crude sales but imports 40% of gasoline. Cut off the gasoline exports to Iran and choke the MF`kers.

#41, HP {``How Iranians view the movie 300...here is a little article explaining Iranian view point. ``}

HP,
Welcome back. I thought that your little article explaining the Iranian view is quite interesting. Seriously, we are talking about a movie, albeit with some sophomoric political, national, ethnic agendas. Hollywood has distorted history, logic, and common sense when portraying Germans, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Arabs, Iranians (Persians), Palestinians, Muslims, Pakistanis, Russians, and even Native American Indians. It just depends on their designation of the ``bete du jour.`` Even Bollywood has lost its objectivity when referring to Pakistan as the persistent and most ``popular`` enemy. Asking Hollywood and Bollywood to be objective is like requesting Lahoris to comment fairly about Punjabi culture and civilization.

`` Did anyone see those `mariners` scared as hell wolfing down Iranian food like pigs?

And bLiar is going all mad over `parading` of hostages etc ... but can`t do a shyte ... haha ``

Nice Bravado indeed.

You do realize if Britons become as irresponsible as the retarded Islamic pigs they can easily turn entire middle-east in to GLASS PARKING LOT. And they can do this without even sweating much, just with few nuclear submarines parked offshore and armed with Trident Nuke Missiles.

PS : GLASS PARKING LOT happens when the heat from a Nuclear explosion is so intense that it turns sand in to glass.

two things..why is the woman eating along with others? should she not be in a separate dinign area?

last time iranis took goras hostage, they had to pay back with an expensve 8 year war with saddam. this time the war may involve the new and improved JF-17 aircraft.

One fails to understand what is the necessity of making the girl sailor cover her head with a scarf. Is it not enough that the Mullahs are already smothering their own women why subject foreigners to this incongruity? One sees it in telecasts from Arab countries and also Iran. Poor Islamic countries like Pakistan also do it, maybe to keep up with the Joneses (or maybe Younises). Looks so out of place. Travelling around the world one sees this fashion(?) picking up even in Southeast Asian countries. These women look as if they are under punishment. With no disrespect to the women, they would look more presentable with their hair flowing and jewellery around their necks and in the ears. One can only sympathise with these poor souls. Allah the Merciful save them

Tony Blair on the detentions without trial at Guantanamo Bay for 4 plus years: ``...it is an anomaly``

Tony Blair on the Iranian seizure of 15 British personnel from disputed waters in the Shatt al Arab/Arvandrud: ``...it is unacceptable``.

Re: # 46

Iranian mullahs could have made an alliance of conveniance with the Soviets if USA hit them during the cold war. Iranians backed the Hezbollah to blow up marines and kidnap American hostages in Lebanon. Remember the Iran Contra deal. Guess what all the hostages were released in 1990. After the cold war ended Iranian rulers knew that they were at the mercy of the Pentagon.

Re: # 48

It is easy to be an asshole when you are sitting on world`s largest oil reserves. It pays to be polite when you are on the dole from America.
