Bush Attacks Iranian Consulate--trying to provoke them?

 
 
Reply Thu 11 Jan, 2007 06:44 pm
It was reported today that American troops attacked a Iranian Consulate (according to the Iranians and the Kurds who hosted them) or a diplomatic mission (according to the Bush administration).

The Kurds are pissed. The Iranians are pissed. And it is clear that this is not intended to bring cooperation with the countries surrounding Iraq (as suggested by the Iraq study group) or a diplomatic solution at all?

Is Bush hoping to start a war with Iran? Attacking diplomats is a very good way to provoke a crisis.

Get us embroiled in an even bigger conflict, then, he figures there will be no choice but to follow his lead. Where is the impeachment process when you need it?

Russia condemns U.S. raid on Iranian office in Iraq
12 Jan 2007 11:41:46 GMT
Source: Reuters

MOSCOW, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Russia's foreign ministry said on Friday a raid by U.S. troops on an Iranian government office in northern Iraq was unacceptable and a violation of international rules.

"It is absolutely unacceptable for troops to storm the consular offices of a foreign state on the territory of another state," the ministry said in a statement posted on its Web site www.mid.ru.

"This is a flagrant violation of the Vienna convention on consular relations. It is also not clear how this fits in with American statements that Washington respects the sovereignty of Iraq," it said.

U.S. forces were on Friday holding five Iranians they detained during the raid on the Iranian liaison office in the city of Arbil, in Iraq's Kurdish north.

Iran and U.S. officials say the office did not have formal diplomatic status. The United States accuses Tehran of backing Shi'ite militias in Iraq and fomenting violence there.

More of Bush's diplomacy in action.

Bush's legacy will be to rank among the tyrants of this or any other time in history.
