Iranian Leader Opens Up 60 Min. interview

[pirana 0]

Sometimes this board is so interesting to watch. One person says:

"Neither have said that, ever. You could claim that Bush wants all Muslims dead with just as much accuracy (i.e. none.)"

And someone responds with:

"You are FUCKING RETARDED Bill. And yes, that was a Personal Attack! Do you listen to yourself ever?"

Did I miss something?

I think we should elect storm1977 as President. Can you see it now? Comes out for a press conference, very stately affair, blue-topped podium with the seal on it and everything, throng of reporters waiting. President Storm takes the podium and in response to the first comment or question screams out:

"YOU ARE FUCKING RETARDED!"

Yes indeed, the quintesential thespian.

The only thing better might be if we elected one of Springer's guests President, and instead of answering the questions they began disrobing and screaming:

"YOU WANT SOME OF THIS DON"T YOU?"

When he first was elected I was very disappointed, but in that interview he made valid points many that I agree with.

Like what DARIUS??? That all JEWS Should DIE?

Where did he say “all Jews must die”?

Is that yet another BS statement?


Things i do agree with

Quote

"What I'm saying is that the killing of innocents is reprehensible. And making this — the displacement of people and making them refugees, again, is reprehensible,"


"The problem that President Bush has is in his mind he wants to solve everything with bombs. The time of the bomb is in the past. It's behind us. Today is the era of thoughts, dialogue and cultural exchanges."


"Well, if an atrocity was committed in Germany or Europe for that matter, why should the Palestinians answer for this?"

There is more but let me guess you reply will be "YOU HATE JEWS"

Michelle you are right about that interview but he didn’t do anything that we don’t see our own president do or any other politician for that matter.

The most generous thing I can say about Ahmadinejad's performance is that he dominates the interview... All the better to look like a madman!

A classic example of how not to do an interview.

I don’t like the guy never have I know his past way to well.

What was really interesting was the interpreter. He didn’t change the answer but he made the President sound much more sophisticated then he was. I noticed that right away.

>"YOU WANT SOME OF THIS DON"T YOU?"

To which the president would respond "Will you STFU now?"

The guy is certifiable!! He also believes he is the one on earth that will bring on earths destruction and call the 12th eman (sp) (or what ever it is they call him)

The free world ignored Hitler until it was almost to late. I hope that does not happen with this freak!

Holy warrior caped Crusader! Where did you get THAT out of that interview? Or did you just skip reading it and just reply?

Edited to add: Sorry, my response was a knee jerk response to your knee jerk response. I'll read your links for context.

Mine was a knee jerk response?

I have been following what this nut says for a while now. He is perpaing his country for the coming of the 12th Iman. He thinks he can affect the time of the coming. He says Isreal must be wiped off the map.

Ya, you had better read the links.

Just google him and post back in a week when you are done with all the reading

What do you think the people in the middle east think of Bush's rhetoric about transforming the middle east?
Secondly, do you think that his rallying war cry posturing has anything to do with the bullseye that Bush put on Iran? Threatened people tend towards self preservation no? What do you expect him to do, just say "oh, ok. King George wants us to kiss his ass and do whatever he wants.....ummmmm....okidoke!" If I were him I'd be preparing for war. It's the only sane response to the threat.

Really? When did Dubya say that Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, etc should be "wiped off the map"?

At this point I could care fucking less what they think. They have been attacking the US since the early 1990's. They become emboldened when Carter and Clinton tucked thier apeasment tails between thier legs and led those over there to think that they could use thinkers like you to control the reactions to the murdering acts they perform.

Bush now has to clean up a mess by those whos actions you support.

When the US win there will be peace oh

and watch out for the black helos

Oh come on man. He was refering to interviewing technique, not content.

Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Well then don't get pissed when thousands more Americans die in your and FOX's holy war (you know all the buzz words, "evil", "islamofascism" "WWIII", etc.). One question, do you think the Romans saw it coming? From "American Theocracy":
..every world-dominating power has been brought down by an overlapping set of problems: a foolish combination of global overreach, militant religion, diminishing resources, and ballooning debt

In the meantime, you should go buy yourself a hybrid car. You'll need it.

He prefers the terms "transform" and "liberate" and "protecting our interests".

Axis of evil?
I'm sure you are well aware of how we embrace those things the administration has deemed to be evil.

very interesting interview. The president comes off as very smart and sophesticated.
at the same time, he avoided about every question that could be controversial.

He's like every politician in the world... lots of shine and polish... but as slippery as an eel.

I've never ignored it. By the way, do you know why we were attacked? Personally, when I have an ailment I prefer to treat the problem, then the symptoms go away. If you treat the symptom then you still have the problem. However, my guess is that you think (insert buzz term war cry) "islamofascism" is the problem. I think that people want to kill us because we fuck with them on a regular basis. We also have this cultural imperialsm thing going on. The Native Americans were free to live with us so long as they adopted our ways. Now we seem to think, because of our petroleum based lifestyle, that the middle east should transform to our liking, and that we should "liberate" these hethens from what is sold as their backassward way of life. I say that if you fuck with other people you shouldn't be pissed off or suprised when they fight back.

We are in a culture clash on this planet that's not going to stop until there is a clear winner. Even though it's a small minority of Muslims who can't live with us, it's still a culture clash since the rest of the Muslims won't turn the bad guys out, for whatever reason.

We really need to start taking out the money. We're not doing that. Thus, my conclusion is, my country does not accept we're in a culture clash.

This is not going to stop anytime soon, unless we make the decision to be the clear winner, whatever that takes.

We are all engines of karma

Yours is a typical lib emotional responce which I do not accept. The "if we are nice to them they will be nice to us" bs is what you believe. ""It is our fault" Keep fooling yourself if you want to but I choose actions not bs retoric

They want us dead (the militant leaders anyway) That is thier goal. Thier goal will end when they are dead.
