Bush again trying to cover Iraq failure by accusing Iran - IRNA
Aug 29, 2007, 9:31 GMT
Tehran - US President George W Bush was once again trying cover his failure in Iraq by accusing Iran, Iran's state news agency IRNA said Wednesday, referring to the president's speech to the American Legion in Reno, Nevada.
Bush had accused Iran of providing training and weapons to militants responsible for attacking US soldiers in Iraq, supporting terrorist groups like Lebanon's Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas, and threatening to place the Middle East under the shadow of a
nuclear holocaust.
IRNA termed Bush as 'the loneliest president of the world' who once again tried to make Iran the scapegoat for the failure of his policies in Iraq.
IRNA, which reflects the standpoints of the government, added Bush should gradually realise that not only the Iraqis but also the Americans themselves are against continued presence of US troops in Iraq.
Due to religious holidays in Iran, Iranian officials have not yet commented to the latest remarks by Bush.
During a press conference on Tuesday in Tehran, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said due to US engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan, Washington would not plan another attack against Iran.
Ahmadinejad predicted a collapse of US troops in Iraq and a power vacuum in that country but said in cooperation with neighbouring countries, Iran would be prepared to fill the power vacuum for the sake of aiding the Iraqi government and people.

We did Iraq a huge favor by getting rid of saddam the insane with very little collateral damage. We should do the whole world another big favor and eliminate the raving lunatic in Iran, even if it means destroying the country in order to save it. I just can't figure why don't the rest of the world appreciate what we do to prevent trouble.
Causing trouble to prevent trouble - which trouble is worse?
The entire world and its people are so angry with the US and its policies, whether there are Republicans or Democrats, the Bush administration has shown how Democracy can be easily undermined by those who mannipulate the media and warp legislation to suit thier 'blinkered' ambitions. How about this for an idea - The yanks stop supporting Dictators and Isreal in the ME, what do you think will happen? Israel will still survive but be much smaller, The ME countries will thank the US for allowing thier freedom from Dictators and make gratuitious deals with the US to ensure it is supplied with fuel at a good rate for the next 50 years, doesn't that sound like the US we all thought was a leader of the 'Free World'?
If Jimmy Carter had any balls there would never have been an oppressive religous dictatorship in Iran. the world would be better place.
I am afrait to speak up my mine, since now with Bush, remains mi of Spain during Franco times.
'The entire world and its people are so angry with the US and its policies,'
Sucks to be them...
'How about this for an idea -'
It's a stupid one.
'doesn't that sound like the US we all thought was a leader of the 'Free World'?
Cravenly selling out our allies to get cheap oil? No, that sounds more like France.

I guess that makes you:
1)Old.
2)Cowardly
3)Irrational
Looks like the elderly English teacher is at it again!
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad issued a stark challenge to the Bush administration Tuesday, saying his country is 'prepared to fill the gap'
the only gap iran will be filling is the gaps in the loose dirt from being buried...its hard to prepare for anything after you experiance the 'bright flash' and smoking shoes.
I can see by some of the moronic comments above that there are too many people in the US brainwashed into thinking that they have a God Given right to persue any faulty policy.
Revolution is for every country, the US and its majority of good people need to get up and revolt against the current regime and against future deformation of thier rights and international standing.
God save the Good people of the US, stand up for your beliefs and get rid of the zionist facists running your country and your media.
America is a rogue state, America is a sponsor of Terrorism, America is the greatest danger to world peace, its only you that can change that.
God Speed.

Who invented the BOMB? Who gave Isreal the BOMB? Who used the BOMB on civilians already? Who has the most BOMBs? Who is in a position to get everyone to get rid of their BOMBS? Who loves their BOMBs more dearly?
