Axis of Evil's Reaction to U.S. Emergency Management

[Lemur]

Very strange, it seems that the Axis of Evil can't coordinate a response to our difficulties with Katrina. The hard-liners in Iran want us to know they can summon hurricanes at will: (http://www.iranfocus.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=3667)


“The mismanagement and the mishandling of the acute psychological problems brought about by Hurricane Katrina clearly showed that others can, at any given time, create a devastated war-zone in any part of the U.S.”, Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri, the official spokesman of the IRGC, said.

“If the U.S. attacks Iran, each of America’s states will face a crisis the size of Katrina”, he said, referring to the massive hurricane which hit the southern coast of the United States. “The smallest mistake by America in this regard will result in every single state in that country turning into a disaster zone”.

“How could the White House, which is impotent in the face of a storm and a natural disaster, enter a military conflict with the powerful Islamic Republic of Iran, particularly with the precious experience that we gained in the eight-year war with Iraq?” he said.

But North Korea wants to send flowers and a sympathy card: (http://www.korea.net/news/news/newsView.asp?serial_no=20050904003&part=103&SearchDay=)


North Korea’s Red Cross Society sent a message of sympathy to its U.S. counterpart on Saturday saying it hoped the country would recover quickly from the natural disaster, Pyongyang’s state-run media reported.

“In the message, the society expressed sympathy with the U.S. Red Cross in connection with the great disaster suffered by those areas due to the hurricane,” the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.

Why can't these evil-doers get their stories straight? Either they can summon hurricanes to flatten us whenever they like, or not. This lemur is very confused.

If I ever see the good General, I'll be sure to ask him where I can find some of the brilliant psychedelics he's obviously taking in such massive amounts.

Just had to note, the same precious experience that served Iraq so well?

[Papewaio]

You see what happens that statement is all Bushes fault, follow the logic :dizzy2: :

1) Bush prunes back the Taliban in the 'Ghan
2) The less Taliban means more opium, increasing supply and decreasing cost.
3) Now the Iranian General is getting lots of dope and is high as a kite.
4) The Iranian General makes nonsense statements because of the dope.

Hence it is all Bushes fault. ~:eek:
This was a joke.

Hey, we all know Kim Jong Il can summon hurricanes at will- he just doesn't feel the need to brag about it. He's humble like that. ~D

A very confused Lemur indeed . There is nothing in there about summoning hurricanes at all .

How could the White House, which is impotent in the face of a storm and a natural disaster, enter a military conflict with the powerful Islamic Republic of Iran
Despite his strange words he has a point .
How can the US enter a military conflict with Iran ?
Realisticly America cannot . Simple as that . Just as they cannot with N.Korea .

[Proletariat]

You don't see just a slight difference between the defensive capabilities of NK and Iran, Tribesman?

(Btw, nice job you're all doing at the negotiating table.)

[Tribesman]

You don't see just a slight difference between the defensive capabilities of NK and Iran, Tribesman?
Forget the specifics of defensive capabilities Prole . N.Korea could completely detroy South Korea economically together with all the Monies the US has invested there even if it didn't have nukes , the government cannot risk that .
Let alone the implications on your countries finances that possible Chinese involvement would create .
As for Iran , how the hell would you keep the Straights open ? What would happen to already inflated oil prices , not to mention the problems that would arise with the Iranian backed majority government in Iraq .
Military intervention is a complete non-starter , the Iranians know it , and despite the Sabre-rattling , your governmnet knows it as well .

(Btw, nice job you're all doing at the negotiating table.)
Hey , it's good to talk ~D
But as Korea has shown for the past 50 years it doesn't always work , but when you have no other option then it is all you can do .

Kim Jong Il may not be able to summon hurricanes at will, but at least he can unfold into a giant robot. (http://www.theonion.com/content/node/27590)

I can’t believe I left. Who could have known that the Sith Lords of Tehran could conjure up storms? :dizzy2:


Perhaps the pompous munafiqeen should conjure up human rights instead.

That one is really good.

There is a Baptist minister in Tyler, Texas who was taking heat from some evacuees who were residing locally (well to do caucasian ones I might add--no surprise for Tyler) for his sign that said "New Orleans was a modern day Sodom and Gamorah."

[Del Arroyo]

What the Iranian General is talking about is not hurricanes.

What he means is that we have shown ourselves incompetent in managing the social chaos resulting from Katrina. He is saying that if the US invaded Iran, the severe strains that this would undoubtedly put on our national economy and psyche would cause us to self-destruct.

I do not find this conclusion to be particularly accurate, but he is correct in any case to be optimistic about his nation's chances in any forseeable war.

I had no idea Iran was a republic...

I had no idea Iran was a republic...

That's what happens when you have a revolution and expel the monarch...

Curious that the Iranians should focus on the hurricane as a cause for optimism in any conflict with the US, when the disaster unfolding next to them would seem to offer a much better case. I see from yesterdays Times that Al Qaeda is now in control of most of the insurgent groups in iraq and aiming at a full scale civil war.

Al-Zarqawi’s threats carry more weight than ever. Only two years ago his group was a fringe organisation that attracted a handful of fanatic Islamic militants.

Today it is the richest, best organised, best armed and most powerful insurgent force in Iraq, with thousands of volunteers, including some from around the Middle East and beyond, prepared to fight and die for their cause. His slick propaganda department can record a suicide attack, release it within an hour on the internet and relay it into the homes of Muslim sympathisers around the world.

The bull is stronger than the matador, but the matador usually wins.

USA! USA! USA!

[Del Arroyo]

The bull is stronger than the matador, but the matador usually wins.

If it weren't for all the picadors and the monos, the odds would be alot more even. And the bull usually will kill a horse or two during the fight regardless.

(Not trying to stretch the metaphor, just aiming for factual accuracy ~:cool: )

Mahk my woids, there is something in the works in Whitehall. Just look at this intriguingly well-informed and outspoken article (http://www.guardian.co.uk/terrorism/story/0,12780,1566917,00.html) by senior Labour MP Michael Meecher in The Guardian.

Excellent. Looks like I'll have to start reading the Onion more often again.

Indeed, the official 9/11 Commission Report of July 2004 sought to downplay the role of Pakistan with the comment: "To date, the US government has not been able to determine the origin of the money used for the 9/11 attacks. Ultimately the question is of little practical significance."
Sure. Who cares who's bankrolling terrorists? Wouldn't want any allies in the Middle-East to be implicated, now would we? Just as the connections between western nations and islamist terrorists in the past, and hence the underlying hypocrisy of a War on Terror have always been muffled away; the oft repeated claim of a terrorist not being a terrorist if he's on the good side being raised once again.
