Khamenei calls elections a victory for Iran (Go out drinking with Teddy!!)
2006-11-10
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Friday called U.S. President George W. Bush's defeat in congressional elections a victory for Iran.
The donks should be proud. They have pleased the regime that poses the most danger to the Middle East, and the US.
Bush has accused Iran of trying to make a nuclear bomb, being a state sponsor of terrorism and stoking sectarian conflict in Iraq, all charges Tehran denies.
We only want to make nice nuclear weapons to kill all of the infidel dogs.
"This issue (the elections) is not a purely domestic issue for America, but it is the defeat of Bush's hawkish policies in the world," Khamenei said in remarks reported by Iran's student news agency ISNA on Friday.
It is true. AQ, Iran, Taliban, and all of the enemies of western civilization won and will be emboldened.
"Since Washington's hostile and hawkish policies have always been against the Iranian nation, this defeat is actually an obvious victory for the Iranian nation."
There is this little thing about capturing a country's embassy and holding embassy employees hostage, fostering terrorism that has killed 1000s of US soldiers and marines over the past 30 years. Little things like that. Sorry to be so thin skinned.
The Democrats wrested control of both houses of Congress from the Republicans in this week's mid-term elections, partly because of voter concern over the war in Iraq.
And partly because the average voter couldn't point out on a map where Iran is let alone understand that radical islam is the biggest threat to world peace since Hitler and Tojo (at least the Ruskies were pragmatic).
Khamenei, a senior cleric in power since 1989, has the last word on matters of state in Iran's complex system of Islamic rule, while the government, under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is in charge of day-to-day decision making.
can you say sock puppet?
"The result of this election indicates that the majority of American people are dissatisfied and are fed up with the policies of the American administration," the IRNA state news agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.
No, the Republican leadership became too fat, arrogant, and corrupt and they lost focus. The donks stepped up and cooked up the agenda centered on: "I hate Bush", and the MSM was more than happy to feed it to them. Terrific strategy when you have the media whores in your pocket.
Khamenei said military maneuvers in the Gulf this week in which Iranian forces tested new missile systems showed Iran was ready to face any threat. But, he said: "With the scandalous defeat of America's policies in Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon and Afghanistan, America's threats are empty threats on an international scale."
That scandelous defeat where 1000s of young islamic men died as a wasted sacrifice to the demon allan.
Khamenei condemned Israel for its artillery attack on Wednesday in Gaza which killed 18 civilians, and also the "silence" of Western nations over "this great oppression".

"The daily crimes by the savage Zionists in Gaza once more prove that holding talks with this occupying regime is of no use."
Heaven help us.
