Controlling Iraq or at least being able to call them an ally means another country to join them in their "war" against Israel and against the West...

Interesting article about Jundullah, although somehow I dont feel having a leader that was a former Taliban member will help anyone in the long run.

Detainees freed

http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/...ors/index.html

I am really glad that they will be released and not harmed... but was it really neccessary to keep them for 12 days?

And of course the announcement was made after 2 HOURS of condemning the west. Nice shot!

"They" get pissy because the movie 300 is an awful movie that portrays them as a bunch of black people with piercings that took part in imaginary acts. That would be like me getting Pauly Shore to act in a movie about some cholo Mexicans that attacked France and had all sorts of weird body art. I'm sure you, as a Mexican, wouldn't like that. Oh and history lesson, the US constitution and bill of rights were based on lessons from a Persian King named Cyrus. The same document was used as the first human rights document and a copy is kept in the United Nations. Not some Ricky Martin song or any other taco stained Mexican document. Barbaric...I know, but enjoy the rights that you now have as an American thanks to Persians.

Oh and you know what else? The British are a bunch of pussies that did nothing but surrender, no other boats came to their aid, and in Iranian jails they just made lovely pussy videos. Clearly dropping bombs on Q'om would have eliminated the country's religious problem but instead they came out looking like the French.

THey are calling for the withdrawl of troops from Iraq (I'll be honest - I'm a little ignorant here, why does Iran give a furry squirrel what happens in Iraq? It's a completely different country) which is what those terrorist groups did right before they behead their detainees.

Barbaric much?

And then they get all pissy that the movie '300' portrays them as a bunch of hooligans.

Hmmmmm

I highly doubt those marines/sailors wrote any of those letters out of their own free will.
