Jihadi Du Jour: A Clear Message to Ahmedinajad and the US

At this past week’s summit in the beautiful Sharm Al-Sheikh resort, in the Sinai peninsula, where Iraq’s security and future were discussed, the putrid little maggot, Ahmedinajad and his handlers the Ayatollahs were sent a message, as the Editor-in-Chief of the Arab Times sees it. On his Opinion piece from yesterday, Saturday, May the 5th, he writes:

[…]Participants of the Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit decided the US cannot leave Iraq at this juncture to ensure it won’t fall prey to Iran, which is trying to take over this Arab country using its sectarian influence, and the might of its militias and the Revolutionary Guards.Iran should understand the message of this summit and realize the fact that all issues concerning Arabs are represented by Saudi Arabia and Egypt, the two biggest Arab countries. Tehran should know it cannot challenge these two countries because any such move will affect all Iranians and cause alarm bells to ring peace in the Gulf region. Iran should know Arab countries don’t want to see their neighbouring country attacked for its arrogance.

The Iranian regime should understand its real size and limitations, and the role it can play. Leaders of the regime should realize they are not ruling a superpower but a developing country, which is incapable of playing certain roles which don’t suit the rest of the world.

On the sidelines of the Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met Syrian Foreign Minister Waleed Al-Moalem. In the meeting Al-Moalem received a clear message that Syria should wear its original Arab outfit and not somebody else’s clothes. This means Damascus should not help Iran or try to change the reference of Arab issues.
All countries in the Gulf region seek stability and security. They believe only a local and strong country, which does not suffer poverty, unemployment, idle factories, stagnant export and import activities can play a meaningful and substantial role in this issue.

Both Syria and Iran are incapable of playing a substantial international role. Tehran’s attempt to continue with its nuclear programme to increase its “weight” won’t succeed as long as Iran is not self sufficient and suffers a sluggish economy.
The Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit has brought Iraq back under the umbrella of Arab countries. It has returned Arab reference to its original owners and proved that the United States is still capable of leading the world. The summit has proved the Americans have not retreated or weakened. It has also confirmed the United States has not and will not attempt to deal with any “accidental” party other than a reliable Arab reference.

Before I comment let me also quote from his editorial of today: Sunday. May 6th.

IT appears the message of Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit has reached Iran and Syria faster than we expected because Damascus has described the summit the beginning of a thousand miles journey. As the torch-bearers of Sunnis Saudi Arabia and Egypt have launched an initiative to reduce the debts of Iraq and voice their protest against Iraq becoming a battleground to settle the disputes between the United States and Iran.

Tehran, which has also got the message, has chosen to confront the Americans and describe them as supporters of terrorism in Iraq. Tehran believes terrorist activities exploded in Iraq after its occupation by the United States and considers this a good reason to create tense relations with Saudi Arabia. The reaction to the Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit has been fast. The summit’s message to Iran was firm and strict. The Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit ordered Tehran to understand its real size, reconsider its regional policies and quit trying to be a reference for Arab issues.

Maybe Iran can support Arab issues, but it doesn’t have the authority to compete and take over the historical reference of the Sunni sect because this role belongs to Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Shiites in Iraq should react to these messages as they don’t belong to Al-Faqaih of Iran as a reference. They should understand their interests are linked to cooperating with the Americans in Iraq. Currently Iran is under pressure to abandon its role in Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine. If it doesn’t it should expect the return of a new Sultan Saleem of the Ottoman Empire, who ended the Sufi movement of Ismail Shah over 500 years ago. The Sufi movement was based on planting hatred against Arabs for the killing of Imam Al-Hussein (PBUH) and members of Prophet Mohammed’s (PBUH) family.

The Iranian regime, which is still being influenced by the movement of Ismail Shah, wants to control the faith of over 1.6 billion Sunni Muslims. By ordering Iran to get out of Lebanon and Iraq, and leave the Palestinians alone the Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit stands as a high and solid wall in the face of Tehran’s plans.

The Syrian regime, which considers these orders as the first phase, still has a good opportunity to join the Arab Sunni reference. For this Damascus should stop being a follower of the Iranian regime, which as a minority cannot stand long against Saudi Arabia which played a vital role in giving Iran a second opportunity to avoid further escalations. The Iranian regime has to come back to its senses, especially since the wind is not blowing in the direction of its sail.

In short, gentle reader, the Arab world fully recognizes that not only are today’s Iranian leaders a main source of instability in the region, but they unequivocally declared that an early American exit from Iraq, would mean a disaster for the region and the world at large.

There is also another message here, just as important though somewhat less visible, by ordering Iran to get out of Lebanon and Iraq, and leave the Palestinians alone the Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit stands as a high and solid wall in the face of Tehran’s plans. Ahmed Al-Jarallah, who penned both opinions quoted above, also said this past summer at the beginning of Lebanon II, The operations of Israel in Gaza and Lebanon are in the interest of people of Arab countries and the interrnational community. Perhaps, the Arab nation, however reluctantly, and strictly because of its own selfish interest may be signaling Israel that the time for talks has come…

We can discuss ad nauseum whether the US should or should not have gotten into Iraq, but even those who are totally against the coalition forces being in Iraq must concede that the past cannot be changed. Thus we must decide how do we proceed from here. Do we leave Iraq at a previously specified date, thereby causing the whole Middle East to destabilize and igniting a war that will eventually enmesh the entire world in its net? Or do we finish the job, while putting pressure on the democratically elected Iraqi government to step up to the plate and take full responsibility for its country’s re-entry into the brotherhood of civilized nations?

Participants of the Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit decided the US cannot leave Iraq at this juncture… The Summit, where the immense majority of participants were Arab nations but also included the US and representatives of Russia and the European Union, has made it absolutely clear that pandering to Iran would not stem the tide of war, that leaving Iraq at a predetermined date would only embolden the insurgency and destroy the region. Moreover, the summit served notice to the Iranians that, that the United States is still capable of leading the world. The summit has proved the Americans have not retreated or weakened.

Perhaps, Pelosi, Reid, et al will listen to the region’s leaders and their interests, as opposed to listening to George Soros and Moveon.org. Arab leaders are feeling threatened by the US Congress latest moves and, frankly, as long as we have not developed alternate energy sources, the Arabs are much needed. At the same we must understand and let them know, they need the West even more than we need them. The Levant is still a poor, backward area where the ruling elite are the only ones who enjoy a decent standard of living. They desperately need those petrodollars even more than we need their oil.

Yet, the Democrat Party’s strings are pulled by those whose extreme ideas would never get them elected even as dogcatchers. George Soros said right before the last election, right after he spent a fortune (which more than 99% of us will never see in a whole lifetime of hard work) on moveon.org and other such organizations that if George Bush becomes President, he George Soros would join a monastery. Unfortunately his words, like the shreds of his honor, are worthless! Shouldn’t a man of honor, a man of such preeminence have kept his promises rather than continue to shove his bankrupt ideas down the throats of a people who doesn’t want them? Yet Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the Democrats willingly take their cue from such unelected, unelectable, political thugs!

Madame Pelosi, now wants to meet with Chávez, an opportunist increasingly acquiring the full trappings of a dictator. She recently, in spite of requests to the contrary by the State Department, traveled to Syria to rescue Baby Assad from the ranks of international political pariahs. While there, in a goodwill gesture she not only covered her hair with expensive (and stylishly beautiful!) Hermès Scarves as she visited the Damascus market but interestingly… she uncovered her hair and showed her liberal side, when alone with baby Assad… Now she is making new overtures in an effort to meet and hold, close to her bosom, that putrid little maggot, Ahmedinajad…

It is interesting that while hobnobbing with America’s enemies, with those who are trampling on all human rights and killing innocents she would not meet with Colombia’s President Alvaro Uribe, who not only managed to disarm paramilitary groups in his country but has destroyed thousand of acres of cocaine growing fields while Chávez was cited in a UN study as an international drug dealer… If she is truly concerned with human rights violations should she not be consistent in her choice of dancing partners?

It is interesting to note that Pelosi, who run a campaign of ridding Washington of corruption and excessive pork to every bill leaving Congress on its way to the White House, has sent more pork in her first 100 days than any of her predecessors while accomplishing a hell of a lot less than any of her predecessors. It is interesting to note that while she has no interest in meeting America’s friends, she is tripping over herself to rush and embrace America’s enemies. Unless the Democratic Party is willing to return again to be the party of the likes Zel Miller, the party that made America great, a Democratic victory in 2008 only spells the demise of America and the fruition of George Soros’ fondest dream.
