Iran denies Israel fears that soldiers head to Iran

TEHRAN, July 13 (Reuters) - Iran's Foreign Ministry denied on Thursday Israeli suggestions that Iranian-backed Hizbollah guerrillas could take two captured Israeli soldiers from Lebanon to Iran, saying Jerusalem was "talking absurdities".

"I strongly deny such reports," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said. "Because of its desperation and increasing isolation in the world and because of the tension and crisis created inside Israel, it is now talking absurdities."

1. Israel just wants to help along Bush's war plans
It's been wanting to knock on Iran's door for a while now; they're doing it by taking advantage of the hostile situation.

3. Israel's outrage has been phony from the beginning
They hold thousands of Palestinians prisoner -- many kidnapped (according to Israeli soldier's first hand accounts).

Then a gang attacks an Israeli military outpost and kidnaps ONE private -- so an attack is ordered on Gaza. This response was out of proportion with event.

This reminds me of the lies that Prez Johnson sold in order to begin his war on Vietnam. We were told that an American ship was attacked -- and the US had to hit back hard. A very small attack and the response was way out of proportion.

I am skeptical because I've seen this happen before -- different places and different players waiting for an excuse.

Now we are hearing how Iran is somehow involved (from Lieberman)-- makes me wonder if this is how Israel intends to pay off her debt to the US -- by being the good puppy dog -- creating enough of a mess that Iran could be drawn into the battles (or evidence is planted to indicate that Iran has joined the battle).

I'm not a fan of any of the players --

If we go back further in history we discover that the US has been messing with the politics in this region before most of us were born. Democratically elected leaders assassinated or removed for puppets more favorable to the US corporate interests.

Then we have the ugly specter of religious fanatics -- on all sides.

Meanwhile bush and his gang are busy partying and bush comes out with the tired old mantra -- "Israel has a right to protect herself" --

Some would say that Israel is performing like a trained seal for her masters. I don't know -- all I can do is watch and try to keep up with news.

None of the leaders involved in this blood feud are concerned about the harm and damage being done to the children. Seems like the only real outcome will be the new soldiers for this eternal blood feud.
