UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Israel charged on Thursday that Iran had replaced Saddam Hussein as the world's primary exporter of "terror, hate and instability."

Stepping up a war of words between the Middle East's two most implacable enemies, Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom challenged the U.N. General Assembly to "end its obsession" with the Jewish state and focus instead on "the active involvement of Iran and Syria in terrorism."

"Indeed, Iran has replaced Saddam Hussein as the world's number one exporter of terror, hate and instability," Shalom asserted at the world forum.

Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said Wednesday that Israel, not Iran, was the greatest threat to all countries in the Middle East because of its "nuclear bombs as well as other weapons of mass destruction."

Israel is widely believed to have the only atomic arsenal in the Middle East, although it maintains a policy of refusing to confirm or deny its nuclear capability .

1. Except that Saddam wasn't the #1 exporter of those things..

..but that's just me being technical

2. Hey. Israel, I know that keeping the big, stupid US

all worked-up in a frenzy of murder and destruction is somehow good for you, but shut the fuck up! We need calm and reason right now; not more slobbering Muslim-baiting. Let's just cool off, let the US extricate itself from the last rash of murder its been involved in before we start hunting up new "rag-heads" to butcher, o.k?

5. Can they be any more transparent?? n/t

6. But who is the bogey-man?

They are calling for a country to replace a person - it seems they need to have the country personified into a demon to replace the old demon....

Who are we supposed to hate? How can they expect people to hate all the old ladies and little babies and everybody? They are going about this all wrong.

(I shouldn't be giving them ideas... :eyes: )

7. Like A Goldfish In A Saucepan.

keep turning up the heat until the American public rolls over and says "yep lets take'em out. Hell it worked once, why not do it again. All they need to do is figure out who they're going to roll in to the UN to give the speech that boils. It sure won't be Colin Bowel.

8. Did you ever notice that Israel hardly ever complains about Saudi Arabia?

Huh. Go figure...

[jayfish]

10. What's Really Strange...

is that I read a story a couple of months ago that said SA may have bought nukeular tech. for AQ Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaan and may be sitting on a weapon as we speak. If I have some spare time tonight, I will see if I can dig it up.

9. Well then, if they feel so strongly about it let them go and fight

with Iran. Let them send their own people there to die for a change.

[gratuitous]

11. And Bush, Golem-like, lurches off to attack Tehran

I mean, how obvious does it have to be?

[goforit]

12. I see Israel as being the Terrorist exporter.

Nice try guys.

13. When will the US wake up and notice that Israel is the single greatest

cause the US demise? Saddam could never do the harm to the US that Israel and the Likud has done.
