Rice complains that Iran is using the anger over the cartoons to inflame
anti-American sentiments and using it "to their own purposes".

http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=politicsNews&storyID=2006-02-08T182353Z_01_WBT004751_RTRUKOC_0_US-MIDEAST-USA-RICE.xml


How can anyone take Bush and Rice seriously on this when they led the biggest hoax of the century with their lies that led us to war with Iraq?

2. They have no ground to criticize
they are still fanning the flames of fear that flashed from the attacks on the WTC for 'their own purposes'.

6. well - I think RIce "is using the anger over the cartoons to inflame"
sentiments against Muslims and is using it "to her** own purposes". The world ought to call her/them on it.


"Iran and Syria have gone out of their way to inflame sentiments and to use this to their own purposes and the world ought to call them on it," Rice said at a joint news conference with Israel's foreign minister."





**Rice and the neocons et al., etc.

5. It's all BS. Rice is really interested in tasting Iranian flesh.
I bet she dreams of chewing on Iranian baby fat.

9. People on both sides are making points off this....
Muslims have every right to be insulted, but extremist leaders are encouraging riots instead of protests. And they are linking Bush's imperialism to their cause, although he had nothing to do with the cartoons. Too bad they can't just protest Bush!

Some leaders in the USA & Europe want us to fear Islam. The next invasion will be for the sake of Christendom & preservation of the pure blood of Europe. Not for oil.
