Of course, these far left progressive dupes, otherwise known as “useful idiots“, believe that Iran is simply trying to develop nuclear for peaceful energy production (yet these same types of useful idiots block any and all attempts to expand nuclear energy elsewhere). So, of course their missive in the Iran controlled Fars News Agency
In a meeting that was held on January 12, 2013 at Riverside Church in New York, on the occasion of the 85th birthday of Ramsey Clark, the former US Attorney General, which coincided with the 20th anniversary of establishment of International Action Center (IAC), Ramsey Clark and Sara Flounders, the co-founder of IAC, initiated signing a petition titled ’99ers on the negotiations of G5+1 with Iran’. The text of the petition which has been sponsored by a growing number of antiwar organizations including Solidarity with Iran – SI campaign and IAC is as follows.
As we approach the new round of negotiations between the G5+1 and Iran to discuss the so called ‘Iran’s nuclear issue’, we, the undersigned, declare our stand on this issue, as follows:
There are two sides in this dispute, one composed of the US and its allies in the European Union who accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons – without presenting even an iota of credible facts and supporting documents – and the other, Iran, which is striving to protect its right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes based on provisions of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Using an unfounded accusation as a pretext for acts of aggressions, one side of the dispute headed by the US empire is currently punishing the other side, Iran, with the genocidal sanctions, an inhuman act that has endangered the life of tens of millions of innocent Iranian citizens for their “crime” of deciding to live independent and free from the yoke of hegemonic powers. The excuse for these aggressions is an allegation that has strongly been denied by Iranian officials and international organizations such as the Non-aligned Movement (NAM) representing 120 countries. Furthermore, the charge against Iran on intending to develop nuclear weapons has even been refuted by the intelligent agencies of the US itself.
Should anyone be surprised that these “99er” take the side of Iran against the United States? Clarke et all provide even more venom aimed at the United States as the letter goes on, and ends with their demands
- Lift immediately all sanctions and stop threats of war against Iran.
- Fair deal with Iran, recognize the right of the Iranian people to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
- Hands off Iran
The hardcore Islamists in charge of Iran must be thrilled to such useful idiots on their side.
Bummer Teach looks like no war with Iran under Obama. And all the beating of war drums does is drive the price of oil higher which does benefit Iran.
ummmm…. right.
Someone has no idea what a dictionary is.
If Iran does not have nuclear ability, then something is wrong. It is not that hard to make a nuclear bomb. The problem in their case is the delivery.
Yeah, after 5 years, they probably have several.
and working with the Soviets and the Norks and the Chicoms, they’ll have a delivery system shortly.
Our slimy President is now threatening to withhold Social Security checks, unless he gets his own way on lifting the debt ceiling.
Other Demicrats don’t mind that he is a an unscrupilous and totally corrupt liar, thief, con artist and sleaze. After all, he is one of their own kind.
Democrats are the party of something distasteful that I occasionally have to scrape off of the bottom of my shoe.
