US officials on Arab TV stations

So they bring US officials on Arab TV stations and they ask them about developments in the Arab world.  Invariably, they start to talk extensively about Iran and how the Iranian government is hypocritical for supporting Egyptian protesters.  They stick to that point and say no more.  Someone in the Zionist circles in DC told US officials that this is a smart line and would go really well with Arab audience.  In fact, are you aware how easy it is to mock those statements about Iran when officials are asked about the Arab world?  I know that there is deep ignorance in the Zionist policy making station in Washington, DC but it does not take much to know that Iran is not an Arab state.  Yesterday, one of the two US State Department officials who speak Arabic (with an inability to pronounce most letters of the Arabic alphabet) appeared on MTV station in Lebanon and started talking about Iran.  The guests in the studio of this right-wing station started looking at one another in amazement.
