of leaked American diplomatic documents is all a fraud and the documents were actually produced by the United States to embarrass other countries. Ahmadi-nejad went out of his way to dismiss the documents, a key one of which showed Saudi King Abdullah urging the United States to bomb Iran’s nuclear installations right away. “Some part of the American government produced these documents,” the president said at a news conference Monday. “We don’t think this information was leaked. We think it was organized on a regular basis and they are pursuing political goals.” The documents showing Arab distrust with and anger over Iran were just part of the fraud, he said. “The regional countries are all friends with each other,” he said. “Such mischief [in the documents] will have no impact on relations.” Many saw this as a very sophisticated response. He avoided picking a fight and left those whose anger for Iran was exposed in his debt. Ahmadi-nejad can also hope that the Arabs exposed for saying one thing publicly and doing the exact opposite will be angry now at the Americans for embarrassing them. But the exchange may have been best explained by an Arab diplomat quoted in one of the leaked documents as saying of Iran: “They lie to us and we lie to them.”
