 A commander in Iran's Revolutionary Guards lashed out at German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday over her remarks on Tehran's nuclear programme, saying she "thinks she's Hitler."
| "Well, she's not Hitler, dammit! We're Hitler! She can be Mussolini or Tojo if she wants!" |
| Apparently, *everybody* gets to be Hitler for fifteen minutes. At this point, I'm not even sure ol' Adolph was really Hitler, that accusation is getting so old and overused. |
"In her childish dreams, Merkel imagines she's Hitler and thinks that now she occupies the chancellor's seat she can dictate orders to the world and to free countries," Commander Seyyed Massoud Jazayeri was quoted as saying by the ISNA news agency. "We cannot expect anything else from people with a Zionist past," added Jazayeri, the head of the public relations department of the guards, one of Iran's most powerful institutions.
Merkel on Saturday charged that Iran had 'overstepped the mark' with its nuclear programme after the International Atomic Energy Agency voted to report Tehran to the UN Security Council, paving the way for possible sanctions. |
