And also that it might not be Israel that has the most to fear from a nuclear Iran. And that “lonelygirl15″ might just be a cynical ploy for attention by aspiring filmmakers. Click the image to watch.

It’s interesting his last comments about his suspicion of Iran secretly working with Israel and America.
Arabs governments are seriously paranoid. With good cause in Kuwait’s case.

that actually IS going out on a limb in the middle east

It’s funny how you’d never see Russia or China listed in a conspiracy.

This guy was making an inordinate amount of sense to then turn into Mr Conspiracy at the end BUT maybe some will hear and heed his call regarding Iraq.

Where is Team America when you need them?

This is ground breaking….Even though it may seem very paranoid. He has to through a conspiracy involving America and Israel.
But look at how that plays…He has just aligned Iran with “Evil” (America and Israel) as seen through the Middle East.
WOW!

He had me, till the end.
However, he’s right that Iran’s goals are much larger than just taking out Israel.
They won’t do anything though, just hide under the bedsheets they wear.

The Kuwaiti MP is mistaken about the priorities of the Islamic Republic. He said the top priority was Iranian national interests, then Islamic interests, then the Shiite interests.
The first priority is not Iran’s national interest but the establishment of the Islamic Revolution in the region and worldwide. That’s the towering and predominant priority.
Nationalism is something the regime tolerates and utilizes wherever it may push its Islamic interests — within Iran, in Lebanon, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and so forth.
Nationalism is on the regime’s radar only because the People are prone to think in terms of their country first, rather than the Islamic Revolution first. Likewise in Lebanon and so forth.
I am not so sure what he meant by Shiite interests, but Islam is not monolithic — and neither are the Shiite interests around the world. So the Sunni-Shia divide that the Kuwaiti MP, and his audience, might perceive is just another cover for the Islamic Revolution.
He claimed to believe that Iran is not Israel’s top enemy today. Heh. I wonder what he thinks of the beating that the Hezbollah brought onto themselves — as proxy for the Islamic Republic. The Lebanese — Shiite and otherwise — are quickly “getting it”. The Islamic Revolution is no more desired there than it is in Iran. Or Kuwait.
