Via an interview with NBC Nightly News managing editor and anchor Brian Williams:
President Bush’s policies in the Middle East are “moving the world toward war,” Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday, maintaining that Iran was a peaceful nation that merely wanted to be left alone to “stand on its [own] feet.”
“The U.S. government thinks that it’s still the period after World War II,” Ahmadinejad said in an interview with Brian Williams, anchor and managing editor of “NBC Nightly News,” a mindset that led Bush to believe that he “can rule, therefore, over the rest of the world.”
But “the world has changed,” he said. “Nations are awakened now. They want their rights — equal rights, and fair ones. The time for world empires has ended.”
This maniac’s credibility on talking about “rights” is like Bill Clinton or Jesse Jackson’s credibility on talking about marital fidelity.
Sadly, who does Ahmadinejad sound like? Many of Bush’s critics here at home, mainly the Ted Kennedys and John Kerrys and Howard Deans of this country. To him - and them - BUSH is the real enemy, not Islamofascism.
The Islamofascist head of Iran is speaking before the UN this evening. Allah will have, as he appropriately calls it, lowlights from the speech. Wonder how many in the crowd will stand and applaud? Here’s a brief, brief recap of the speech from the AP.
Update I 8:29 PM : Greg Tinti liveblogged the speech.
Update II 11:17 PM: Why is Greg Tinti routinely referenced at this blog, and even twice in one post? Because of posts like this one. LOL! ![]()
Update III 11:50 PM: Lorie Byrd and I are on the same page on who Ahmadinejad sounds like.

New AP “fake-but-accurate” poll results:
Among Democratic voters, if the 2008 presidential election were held today, who would you vote for?
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - 22%
Ned Lamont - 17%
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton - 16%
Fmr. VP Al Gore - 15%
Sen. Russ Feingold - 9%
Sen. Barak Obama - 8%
Madonna - 6.9%
Leni Riefenstahl - 2%
Cindy Sheehan - 1%
Fmr. Gov. Michael Dukakis - 1%
Anna Nicole Smith - 1%
Flipper - 1%
Other/Undecided/In Jail - 0.1%
Obviously, a can’t-miss winner for Democrats in 2008 would be a Ahmadinejad/Lamont ticket.

So a puppet of Islamofascist theocrats gives a speech before the largest collection of villans, thugs, terrorists and dictators ever assembled outside a Bond film. Why does anything he had to say matter, really?

Mwalimu, you crack me up with that ap poll.

Notice in his speeches Ahmadinejad has picked up all the far-out left hate-amerikkka speaking points; the west exterminated the indigenous peoples of the New World,(as if Navajos and Mayans were ever in a rush to embrace Islam!), that we have such a high prison population, don’t have universal health care, etc.,etc. He was a student and member of a group that stormed the US embassy in 1979, and he wonders why Americans don’t trust Iran!

If Brian Williams had any credibility, he lost it with this. Interviewing the Loons of Islam is not a legitimate option for a real journalist. What a surprise, eh?

Brian Williams is so brave. I bet he had hardball question after hardball question. I bet even the dreaded “boxers or jockeys” question arised. Who really thinks that this is some sort of true news. - Lorica
