Iranian supreme leader slams Bush

Tehran




The supreme leader of Iran has launched a scathing attack on United States President George W Bush.
Speaking at Friday prayers, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said he was sure President Bush would be tried in an international court for what had happened in Iraq.
It was a particularly tough message, accusing the US of invading Iraq partly to undermine Iran's Islamic system.
It follows Mr Bush's speech to the US on Thursday in which he criticised Iran's ambitions in the Middle East.
Ayatollah Khamenei said the US had been defeated in its plan for the Middle East, and he went on to talk of the complete defeat of the United States in its plan to weaken Iran.
He said he was convinced President Bush would be tried in an international court for what he had done in Iraq - and even likened him to Hitler and Saddam Hussein.
"Americans will have to answer for why they don't end occupation of Iraq and why waves of terrorism and insurgency have overwhelmed the country," he said.
These strong comments suggest that the Supreme Leader is giving his full backing to President Ahmadinejad in the confrontation with the West over Iran's nuclear programme. President Ahmadinejad has said several times that he believes the dispute over the nuclear plan is now over; this is a very similar message from Iran's Supreme Leader.

More hysterical self righteous Islamofacist speak.

This is a conflict that wont have a happy ending.

Islamic fundamentalism like this is incompatible with modern society.

The Iranian people will eventually topple these nut jobs.

The key to dealing with iran and other extreme islamic regimes is to wean ourselves off oil, and this can only be done by developing a clean, efficient and economically viable alternative.

it'll happen because it must, but not soon enough.

Well no, because the USA launched a hostile, violent invasion of Iraq, justified by outright lies. Then totally mismanaged- nay, absolutely botched up- the subsequent Occupation.

Did people really expect bouquet's?

Up next is Iran and they are scared shiteless.

^ They sure are.

All countries across the globe should be scared cos the US has an ape leader. His endless lies continues, let's not mention the weapons of mass disgrace. I recently listened to his recent speech to congress where he shamlessly lied that "the war in Iraq is being won by the US and now it's about time we start pulling some of our troops!" I can't believe the alcoholist can lie like this knowing that it's broadcasted world wide.

I think it's about time we pulled out of Iraq. Let them have their civil war.
