Ahmadinejad rebukes Obama

Theocracies are dangerous.

Another "LITTLE TYRANT", that has reservations in Hell! All those that he has harmed will testify at his trial before God!

If Mr. Obama would have any smarts about dealing with the Iranian Mafia it would be to simply tell Ahmadinejad he's welcome to go down his road of destruction, as the eyes of the world are upon him and his peasants and it's going to be either doom and gloom for this regime or learn the correct way and learn to allow freedom of the press as well as freedom for the Iranian people.

Come on Obama, you're so soft!!! Step up and fire strong words back, quit trying to walk the fine line. These fanatics in Iran are bad, bad people and you can not negotiate with the Axis of evil, period!

Thanks President Obama for supporting those who desire freedom in their country [Heavy Sarcasm!]. If you haven't yet figured out what Ahmadinejad represents you will never figure it out.

Iranian leaders did not used to act like this at the time Bush was elected. They may not have been ideal leaders, but they were not threatening the US, Isreal, etc.

Then Bush started directing his threatening rhetoric towards Iran, grouping them with Iraq and North Korea as the axis of evil. And Bush started a war and took over one of those sovereign nations who had not attacked the US and was not a threat to the US.

Iran's response was to go into defense mode against US aggression and put this whack in power. Now we have an Iran who is threatening aggression towards Isreal and the US out of a defense mode.

This is a perfect example of how George W. Bush's agression towards sovereign nations in the middle east, who were no threat to us, have created enemies and have put the US in a more dangerous situation. Someday, an enemy Bush created will attack our country.

That is the legacy of George W. Bush: making America a more dangerous place.

Good job supporting this clown.

Ahmadjineded a madman. First Saddam Hussein, now the Iranians. What other wonders has the Islamic world hold in store for us

Tyrants everywhere your days are numbered. The internet allows people to see how the world really works. People know what freedom is and they want it. Eventually Iran will have freedom it's just a matter of how long.

Iran tested missiles and touted US warships during Bush's rein.

The person calling themselves "The Bush Legacy" is a great example of the deplorable lack of historical knowledge in America today. TBL seems to have forgotten about a little incident in the 70s involving hostages. Since the Shah, US/Iran relations have been strained at best. Blaming the most recent president for our relationship flaws with Iran is way off. In fact, most of the problems we have with the middle east stem from post- imperial difficulites starting in 1945-48, not George Bush. Having said that, maybe Obama can make a positive difference. It is possible.

He is truly a deranged little minded, loose cannon. What a laughing stock this little dictator is. His response will be like all cowards, terrorist theats and attempts to kill innocent people.

Bush has been out of office for six months!! Come on Obama now it's your turn. Step up to the plate and follow through with all the CHANGE you promised!!! Ahmadinejad isn't going to listen to Obama just like he wouldn't listen to Bush.

jerk.

"Iranian leaders did not used to act like this at the time Bush was elected."

You better look up some history on US relationship with Iran prior to Bush vis a vis the Iranian hostage crisis during the Carter presidency. The relationship with Iran has always been tenuous.

Sounds like a threat to me.

Obama had his chance to support freedom and he sat by calling the Iran election a "healthy"debate. Now censorship and extermination rule. Obama had a chance to support freedom and all his did was keep in power a murderer. His foreign policy is as weak a misguided as his domestic policies.

Yes Bush would have done much better! In fact Obama makes one yearn for the Bush days again.

Yes. That is a good idea. Their "re-elected" president is trying to blame his fraud on the United States. It is a brilliant idea to play right into what they are saying and turn us further from diplomacy and helping peace in the middle east.

That is the lamest comment I have ever heard. All Bush did was aggrevate the situation with Iran further. Obama hasn't had a chance at all (you refuse to even give him six months apparently).

The response to this man is not a covert op to assasinate the leaders of Iran. That would be the worse thing we could do, but sounds like that is what you are suggesting.

"It is a brilliant idea to play right into what they are saying and turn us further from diplomacy and helping peace in the middle east".

Yes, just like I said before, get rid of the Axis of Evil......if you care to go down the road to sleep with the enemy, be my guest!!! Then again, pack that kool-aid with you as well, you'll need it.

Bring out the fly swatter. This guy's becoming an irritation.

I agree with your post, and I'd say go back as far as the 1920s to the problems Europe had with the Middle East.
