Arrogance aims to create a 'greater Israel' in Middle East

Speaker of Iraq's National Assembly Mahmoud al-Mashadani in a meeting with the representative of the Jurisprudence in Khorasan, Ayatollah Abbas Vaez Tabassi, here Thursday said that the major goal of the arrogance in occupying Iraq is to create a 'great Israel' in the region.

In a meeting, held at the meeting hall of Imam Reza's (AS) holy shrine, he said that this is while some politicians mistakenly led to believe that the US and other despotic powers attacked Iraq and occupied it to topple Saddam Hussein and lay their hands on its oil reserves.

"Saddam was appointed in Iraq by the US itself to help it materialize its arrogant goals. Now the US intends to assign another substitute in Iraq who will continue working towards its goals and will promote American culture in the region.

...

He called on Iran's government to include participation in Iraq's reconstruction, including that of Sunni mosques, on its agenda to thwart the growing threats and plots of the US in this country.

3. He is one of the top three political leaders of Iraq
according to this website. I'm not sure exactly what the title 'Speaker' of the Iraqi parliament entails, but he is apparently a man of significant power along with the President and Prime Minister. In other words, he's not just one among many members of the National Assembly.

4. I guess Iraq knows bush's "Roadmap to Peace" was a crock of shit.
All bush did was create war in Iraq instead of working to make peace in Israel.

5. Sunni Arab fundamentalist and a physician joins Shia point of view
seems Bush is a uniter.

Looks like only the Kurds don't hate us - but the Turks hate us for not hating the Kurds.

7. If by "Greater Israel" he means a quagmire of unsolvable constant violence
then, he's correct.

8. That's funny...
I don't think Israel even has nearly enough Jews to populate a "Greater Israel". What the hell is this guy thinking? Oh right, the joooos are coming to eat your children. Nothing to see here folks, just politics as usual in the Middle East.
