Q&A: Iran's Foreign Minister on Israel and Nukes | Newsweek International

Comment: 2008 is only the begining of the "Prophecy of Doom". Nostradamus (1503-1566) was an French apothecary who was 96% accurate in his ability to fore see and predict the future(500 Years ahead of his time). In his last quatrain he predicted that between 2008-2012 would be the start of the end of civilization. He fore seen the down fall of Western countries through various events leading up to World War lll (A Nuclear War) by 2012, which will start in the Middle East. With the problems we are having in the current economic mess, this could be the first sign.

Comment: In response to the question about wiping Israel off the face of the earth, Mottaki said, "We do not officially recognize this regime ??? " Why was this comment cut off by Newsweek? Why was there no follow up to this inflammatory response by Lely Weymouth? The silence smacks of complicity.

Comment: In a few weeks we will make a choice that will decide our future.
I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
Also, he perfectly predicted the current real estate market meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen in the next couple years
is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
The government took them over because they are essentially bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything in the last 80 years.
McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand exactly what is broken.
It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use complex mathematical models very few people understand.
Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.
Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He didnt realize that anything was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
So why are the polls even close then ?
Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
Let's teach him we are smarter than that .
Elect Obama Biden 2008

Comment: The interviewer falsely claims that Iran has threatened to "annihilate" Israel.

Comment:
What the american population have not been able to understand all these years is that the main asset Iran and oil countries have had is our dependence to oil. We are supporting the very same thing we are fighting!
And for those who cannot read between the lines... Iran is enriching uranium for nuclear weapons in order to have the power to threaten whoever they need to. In their eyes, they areno not doing anything illegal and the US sanctions are nothing. So we better make sure we know well which of the two choices for president will be able to deal with national security, international uncertainty, terrorism in its richest form and a possible "holocaust tryout"

Comment: It would seem to me that Iran and other middle east countries use the profits from oil sales to purchase and supply terrorist networks with weapons,If our Government would invest in making sure that every auto and truck were retrofitted to be able to burn natural gas then we would stop sending massive amounts of money to these supporters ot state run terrorist organizers.

Comment: Iran, like her co-hort Russia are just starting to see their economies fail.
How very appropriate they are interested in negotiations. Right now.

Russia's Putin - especially.

Comment: He's a very good diplomat...he managed to basically avoid answering anything while sticking to the point of maintaining innocence in regards to their nuclear ambitions. It doesn't take a genius to see that they're simply stalling until they have enough material to construct a rudimentary nuclear weapon; at which point their bargaining position will be VASTLY superior to where they currently stand.

Comment: Pre-emptive strikes against a known, trying to go nuclear terrorist regime is now legal too.

Posted By: joe85 @ 10/05/2008 9:40:18 AM

Comment: Its clear now Iran is hell bent to acquire nuclear bombs. What is also clear is that Iran has not fully understood fully the terrible and extential consequences to its very survival as a nation.
Anticipatory and Preemption as the main pillar of American foreign and military doctrine may change but its logic remains asfar as Iran is concerned.
The US-doctrine of "balance of terror and mutual destruction" becomes the doctrine of the day. If Iran should ever acquire nukes and attempt to use it or its terrorist allies;then Iranians MUST BE MADE TO UNDERSTAND THEY WILL BE OBLITERATED< WIPED OUT FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!!.NO MORE SHIADOM WILL NEVER BE MISSED IN THE WORLD NOR ISLAMIC WORLD PERIOD!!!.understand

Comment: With the change in the United States,
reality will come to surface,
after the expected meeting between new presidents,
wheter Iran is manufacturing nuclear weapons ,
or electricity for its domestic requirement.

American behave,
in re addressing the issue,
is untolrable for Iran,
when they are presuurised by the IAEA,
and 5+1,iran put Ieaqi example before the world,
by saying America misguiding ,once gain the world institution,
and going to third time make a mistake.

Talking about the weapons of mass-destruction,
have changed their view,
and now talking about democracy ,
as have seen there is weapons and no democracy,
there are incidents of rape,occurence of bomb blasts,
and killing of innocent people,
including women and childern.

Iranian government,
through its representatives,
insisting that they are not involved in making nuclear bomb,
they want to genrate electricity for demastic need,
I am of the view that new change which is expected in the United Statesand iran,
would resolved this dengrous issue.

Comment: Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, in response to a question posed by Newsweek's Lally Weymouth about Iran abandoning it's nuclear program said, "What we are doing is compleatly legal...For us to arrive at a mutual confidence, we need to neogiate." Indeed they do...until Iran gets the bomb, and then all bets and all talks are off.
