Obama just got played by Iran's Ayatollah - you live by the sword, you die by the side

Wow! That one had to hurt!

Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei just dropped the "Anti-CIA" card on Obama. Yes, Obama. You bad-mouthed the CIA. You've convinced many Americans and the world that we are the bad guys and guess what happened? Low and behold, Khamenei tells the world that US Intelligence (CIA) is responsible for the attacks that killed Iranian Pilgrims.

How do you dispute that charge Obama? You can't. You've already made it so that all of our intelligence services and military are now "guilty until proven innocent."

Yes Obama, you own it! One more time. "YOU OWN IT!" Any questions before you slither back into the White House?

Thanks for the way you've been treating all the Patriots who are defending and protecting our Nation. (sarcasm) They are Americans who are Proud of Our Country (something you and your wife are not familiar with) and serve us honorably. You crapped all over them. Of course, what does it matter to you? They're not the type of people you hang with anyway are they are.

Ali Khamenei charges US military in Iraq, Israeli intelligence with attacks that killed Iranian pilgrims

DEBKAfile Special Report
April 25, 2009

"The main suspects in this crime and crimes similar to that are American security and military forces," said Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Satuday, April 25, of the string of deadly bombs that left 155 dead in Iraq including dozens of Iranian pilgrims.

"The growth of the poisonous grass of terrorism in Iraq will definitely be written in America's criminal record and US and Israeli intelligence bodies are the first suspects of that," he said.

DEBKAfile's Iranian sources report that the all-powerful ayatollah was not just accusing the US security and military forces in Iraq of the suicide attacks of the last 48 hours but of "similar" crimes.

The ayatollah's attack shortly after Hillary Clinton's unannounced arrival in Baghdad seems to signify a sudden sharp cooling in Tehran-Washington relations - hardly a hopeful starter for the dialogue sought by President Barack Obama.

Two suicide bombers struck separate targets Friday, April 24, killing at least 65 people at the important Shiite shrine of Imam Moussa al-Kadhim in the Kadhimiya district of Baghdad as people gathered for Friday prayers; seven died at a car dealership in Diyala. At least 149 were wounded in both incidents. Thursday, a suicide bomber killed 55 people, including 53 Iranian pilgrims, also in Diyala, while a female suicide bomber killed 28 people in Baghdad. More than 100 were wounded in both attacks.

Khamenei may have been irked by the encounter in Tokyo between US special envoy Richard Holbrooke and Iran's foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki at a donors' conference for Pakistan. What exactly happened between them is not known. When asked about a meeting, Holbrook said curtly: "No dialogue. I ran into the foreign minister as we were milling around and we said 'hello' and chatted for about a minute or two."

Iran blames Israel, US for Iraq attacks

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei blamed Israel and the United States on Saturday for recent suicide attacks in Iraq that have killed dozens of Iranian Shiite Muslim pilgrims.

"Dirty hands and evil brains that founded this blind and uncontrolled terrorism in Iraq should know that the fire will burn them, too," Khamenei said in a statement broadcast on state television.

"The American and Israeli intelligence services are the prime suspects," state television quoted the Iranian leader as saying.

Khamenei's comments come as US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was in Iraq and the Obama administration has said it wants to engage Iran after a 30-year diplomatic deadlock.

Clinton responded to Khamenei's allegations, saying it was "disappointing for anyone to make such a claim since it is clearly traced to the al-Qaida remnants and other violent groups who wish to disrupt the progress of Iraq."

"I condemn these violent recent efforts to disrupt the progress that Iraq is making," Clinton said, claiming the attacks were a sign that extremists are afraid Iraq's government is succeeding.
But she said the response by the government and its people was "firm and united in rejecting that violence and refusing to allow it to set Iraqi against Iraqi, which is obviously one of its intended goals."

Iran has sent mixed messages to Washington in response to President Barack Obama's overtures.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said Iran was ready to forget the past and start a new relationship - but he also called Israel a racist country and blamed the US invasion of Iraq on a Zionist conspiracy.

US president Barack Obama has been trying a different approach to Teheran by offering to engage in dialogue with the Iranians, who have sent conflicting signals back to Washington.

On Monday at a UN anti-racism conference, Ahmadinejad called Israel the "most cruel and repressive racist regime," prompting diplomats from every European Union country to walk out. Click to read the article and comments
