Iran's offer was from the Red Crescent, a Red Cross-like organization, NOT from the Iranian government. It was unofficial, and was a response to the US aid sent in 2003 for victims of the earthquake there.

And, Israel has zero to do with this... any chance to say something negative about Israel, no matter how irrelevant, eh bubba? Good to see your posts are consistently ridiculous.

Has any other country offered to help? Sounds like a perfect opportunity for some propaganda IMO.

and certainly any offer by the red crescent to assist the USA storm victims would have to be made with the consent of the government

surprised i have to fill in the dot-to-dot connection of israel for you cc
would have imagined you were aware of israel's repeated threats to bomb iran
and israel's overtures to the USA to condone if not participate in such violation of iranian sovereignty
which causes me to wonder what this 'ally' of the USA has offered when compared to that of the nation we are being asked to coordinate a bomb strike against

They're probably waiting until they've got a weapon that can do some real damage.

In response to Iran developing a nuclear weapon. You don't know about that? Do you think Israel is America's only ally or America theirs??

But what has that to do with aid to New York? Are you again trying to derail the thread?
 
I think there is a strong martyr complex with fundamentalist Muslims. That's not even subject for debate.

Actually, no. Red Crescent is not a government organization so they do not necessarily need any governmental consent.

I'm not surprised that I have to correct you on matters such as this, as your idiotic anti-Israeli positions (often with no basis in reality) are well known. The fact that you would politicize an issue such as this (the hurricane), bringing in irrelevancies, demonstrates how little you care about anything other than your anti-Israeli agenda. It's a shame that your hatred makes you so blind to this kind of stupidity of presentation, but from what I've seen of you, it is not surprising.

The issue is about Iran's chapter of Red Crescent offering assistance. Israel has nothing to do with this topic.

ok, you keep believing the iranian government would allow the red crescent to dedicate iranian resources to American causes without the consent of the government

you have corrected nothing
everything i have presented has been factual
which is likely your problem
folks with an allegiance to israel hate it when the facts about the misbehavior of the israeli government is exposed

my introduction of israel into this discussion was not extraordinary. israel is a nation which has repeatedly threatened to bomb iran. the government of israel has sought our nation's participation/consent to such. so, when the nation which is the target of israel's proposed bombing offers to help Americans in time of need, it is not unusual to then wonder what that 'ally' has offered in the way of assistance. to date, that offer of help by israel to mitigate the circumstances of the American storm victims appears to be a big nothing. which fact is what i suspect is actually the cause of your ire

certainly it does
we see that the nation that israel would have us bomb is the nation which offers us help in time of need
in contrast, the nation which seeks our assistance in that bombing of iran offers no assistance to its 'ally' in time of need
and that reality must be embarrassing for those of you who subscribe to the perverse actions of the current israeli government

It was an offer, not actual aid. Anyone can offer. You keep believing that this is not true.

I have corrected you presenting irrelevancies in this thread. I know someone like you, who's near only intent is to attack Israel, making up crap along the way, hates being confronted on this. Suggestion... don't like it, don't do it.

Your presentation of Israel is an idiotic thread derailment, presented by someone who would prefer to present their biased agenda than actually address the topic/issue. You are well known for this behavior.

Your denials are irrelevant. Perhaps you can con some folks, but you do crap like this, frequently. And you're not being informative. You're presenting and agenda. There's a difference.

Nothing to do with the topic. Zero. I know you would like to interject your hatred of Israel into every thread, no matter how non-sensical it would be. My suggestion would be that you cease doing this. I know that will reduce your post count significantly. Too bad.

It did pretty well in tricking President DoDo into launching his military quagmire in Iraq and install an Iran-friendly regime.

It did pretty well in starting its nuclear reactor to eventually create fuel rods to make nuclear weapons.

It did pretty well in acquiring enough air defenses and technology from the Russians to keep Israel from attacking it.

It did pretty well in capturing a US drone spying on it.

Can't be as bad as Wallstreet's puppet candidate, which (fortunately) seems to be failing in its mission :)

Israel is our ally; they don't have to help.

Uh, wait a minute. . .

I don't know if they're suicidal or not, but nothing would really surprise me. The mullahs who are running Iran behind the scenes are extremists. Ahmadinejad is only a puppet.

you attempt to fabricate a semantic distinction that does not exist
there is absolutely no reason to believe iran would renege on its offer of assistance if that offer was accepted by the US

what i have noted is that we have one country, iran, which has offered to provide assistance to American disaster victims
that country willing to send America assistance is also a country targeted by israel, which solicits American help to target iran
so, it does not appear unreasonable to wonder what assistance would be offered by our 'friend' when our 'enemy' has reached out to help our people
and we find the answer to that question is absolutely nothing; israel has not offered a thing
and that has to be galling for those in the US whose sympathies reside with actions of the israeli government

Your denials are irrelevant.

i have established a legitimate nexus between comparing the offer of iran with the offer of israel. thus far, you have done nothing to show that nexus is other than a legitimate one

i am discussing the topic, "Iran Offers to Send Emergency Aid Team to Stricken New York", and pondering whether our biggest 'ally' in the region has offered any form of disaster assistance to us when our biggest 'enemy' in the region has graciously tendered its own offer of red cross-like assistance




Nothing to do with the topic. Zero.

everything to do with the topic. country a is our enemy and offers aid. country b wants us to bomb country a, but offers no aid. that dichotomy may be an indicator of the true character of the nations. one - who may be targeted by us - offers help. the other, doing the targeting and seeking our help to do so, offers no form of assistance

I know you would like to interject your hatred of Israel into every thread, no matter how non-sensical it would be.

Do you not understand the facts or do you just ignore them?

In 2008 Obama raised almost $16 million from Wall Street. John McCain received about $9 million.

This time around Romney has received about $8.5 million.

The fact is that Obama has given more taxpayer dollars to investors in the form of bailouts or government handouts to start-up companies than any president in history, and thus has brought the US in greater debt than any time in US history.

Last time around Wall Street was obviously thinking of their pocketbooks when they supported Obama, now they are finally voting for their country.
