Wonder if there is an open cell next to a Serbian war criminal somewhere in Holland?

Posted by: MP at October 25, 2006 6:55 PM

This is very good news...

1) It re-establishes the terrorist credentials of Hezbollah....where Europe in particular is in such denial

2) While Iran will never surrender Rafsanjani, it does send out a statement that accountability is not limited to right-wing dictators like Pinochet

3) It will drive a diplomatic wedge not only between Argentina and Iran, but between Argentina and Venezuala, Iran's closest Latin friend

Expect the screws to start turning against the Argentinians until they relent.

Another good news story! Hezzlams are exposed again.

Remember Hitler's Germany? Anne Frank was only 13 years old when she was forced into hiding in the secret attic.

Simon Wiesenthal revered her and always quoted from her diary, “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” When revisionists began to claim that Anne Frank never existed, Simon found Carl Silberbauer, the Gestapo official who arrested her and her family and brought him to justice.

Mossad will track these Iranian criminals down.

If they do not pay in this life, they will pay in the next Life. The martyrs who died in that explosion continue to wait for justice, and we know that the Lord says: "In a little while"

Wow, amazing....

Another western county that counts the Jews as citizens besides the USA.

Viva Argentina--and make it come to pass!

Come to think of it, Iranian President Ahmadinejad SHOULD be 'wanted' in the United States, TOO. This President of Iran has been positivey identified as one of the kidnappers of the 52 US workers at the US Embassy in Tehran in 1979; since there more than one of these hostages were murdered, we can and SHOULD add conspiracy and accessory to murder charges to this neanderthal as well. And I am certain these charges will STICK.

Americans should be outraged at their government'ssilence on this matter. But then, since no one else in the US government has done anything about this it would not be fair to blame Bush for being lackasdaisical on the matter (though he has been).

No more shoulder-shrugging on this. Americans need to gst this ape extradited and haul his ass to a US high-security penitentiary somewhere!
America went after Noriega. Why not this ape too???

Just popped up on the news wire and includes more context and names than initial AP report.

Who would have guessed that Argentina is controlled by those awful Jews as part of their world domination plot?

Seriously, it would be welcome news indeed if Riff Raffsanjani were to meet with an unfortunate accident. Now if the US would have had the guts to brand Khatami a wanted criminal perhaps he would be in the pokey right now rather than giving all those lovely speeches lst month.

And what about the role of Carlos Menem in being bribed to deflect attention away from Iran after the attack? Will that be investigated?

I wonder why our State Department and just about every other European government have been so easy on the Iranian regime? What is it exactly that Iran is holding over us?

Posted by: FredIsinglass at October 25, 2006 10:09 PM

FRED: "What is it exactly that Iran is holding over us?"

Oil. What else?

Look how the price skyrocketed when hostilities with the US seemed imminent over Iran's nuclear program. Can you imagine how high it'd go if fighting actually broke out? Take Iranian oil out of the global marketplace and we're talking $100 a barrel easy.

Imagine the fighting closing the Strait of Hormuz, preventing Iraqi, Saudi, Kuwaiti, Qatari and UAE oil and natural gas from reaching the market. Then we're talking $200 a barrel.

US passivity in the face of Iranian intransigence has as much to do with concern over oil prices and their effect on the world economy as it does with our being tied down in Iraq.

Along with the Saudis, Iran has us by the gonads.

All the more to really PUSH for cold fusion which if remote in practice is not so in theory.

If you think about it in, 1936 a nuclear weapon was even more hypothetical and look at what the Manhattan project achieved?

Whatever happened to our american friend who ran his car on water?

Expect Argentina to cop a few suicide vests now.

Thank you Hugh
Indeed it seems nothing changed from the old days of Evita salting away the proceeds of her ratline gains in switzerland and indulging her lover Mr Otto Skorzeny of dueling scar fame.

it certsinly pays to be a senator in Argentina:

One of the worst examples is the senator Rugero Petro, who belongs to a local party in the extreme southern province of Tierra del Fuego, has four homes collectively worth US$1.2 MM, US$700,000 dollars worth of ''household commodities'' and US$14 MM in stocks.
of course he would claim that he bought yahoo stock for zilch at the launch

Condemned by Argentina... now THAT's embarassing given the Argie's recent history.

(Actually I know a number of Argies and they're fairly decent... its their government thats really smelly and if even they have the determination to pursue these guys....)

This is the best news I've heard in some time. But I'm afraid that Cornelius is right:

"Expect the screws to start turning against the Argentinians until they relent."

BB:

I wish I could share your opinion that Argentina is Jew-friendly. If the government is going after the perps of this hideous crime, more than a dozen years after the fact, I'd have to guess there's an interesting subtext yet to emerge. The truth about Argentina is that while it became home to some post-Holocaust Ashkenazic Jews, and centuries earlier, Sephardic Jewish refugees from the Inquisition, it also granted safe haven to Nazis fleeing justice after WW II, including the infamous Dr. Mengele, as I recall. More recently, and well known about the "disappeareds" of the 1980s -- is that 30% of 20,000 opponents to the ruling military junta who were rounded up, imprisoned, tortured and murdered by elements in the military,were Jews. And Argentina's very bad economy of the 1990s hit the Jewish community particularly hard, resulting in a significant number leaving the country.

Yes, there's more to this story than meets the eye. Perhaps the political climate is just right for prosecuting Carlos Menim. Anyone here who is more up on Argentina's political scene care to comment?

Mention by a poster above of a liaison between the Nazi murderer and schmiss-marked protector of mass-murderers Otto Skorzeny, and the practiced fellatrix Evita Peron, comes as news to me. But anything is possible. As for Argentina - do the young still recall the gallows-humor of someone unsavory being "alive and well and living in Argentina"?

And how many know about the Rat Line and Bishop Alois Hudal, and all the rest? And of those who know, how many care, as they should, as if it all happened yesterday, and to imagine it was their families who had been murdered, and the people who had murdered them the ones who made it, courtesy of people like Hudal and some in the CIA (which helped Klaus Barbie escape, and kept Reinhard Gehlen and his network in place), to safety and remained unpunished until it was too late?

Waterdragon (just curious...the name begs for some follow up--can you help us there?)

I am aware of the situation in Argentina and I belive you are correct--no I didn't mean that it is Jew friendly. I am thoroughly outraged at any country that harbors Nazi war criminals -- and to their shame most ALL countries have the spirit of Haman lurking in the shadows--some conceal it more than others. Most gentiles will sell a Jew out for practically nothing--G-d forbid, but it is true. I love the Jewish people and admire them--and as a Christian I believe we are believing in the same G-d--yet they have not come to see Jesus as the true Messiah and Son of G-d. Stay tuned my beloved Jewish friends for what is coming.

My point I was making in my post, that at least by what they are doing here--Argentina shows a faint SEMBLANCE OF A CONSCIENCE and even a backbone. As we all know full well that Iran and its "awesomenutjob" will seek to punish them for calling any Islamic terrorist/murderer to account--especially one who EXPOSES THEIR MURDEROUS GOVERNMENT FOR THE BUNCH OF MAFIOSO JEW HATING THUGS THAT THEY ARE. I say when they do something right like they did here--we should express some thanks for standing with the right for once.
