"Ahmadinejad Demands Apology From Obama; Iranian Warns Against Further Criticism" by Thomas Erdbrink and William Branigin, Washington Post | June 26, 2009
TEHRAN, June 25 -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lashed out at President Obama on Thursday, warning him against "interfering" in Iranian affairs and demanding an apology for criticism of a government crackdown on demonstrators protesting alleged electoral fraud.
Despite an increasingly harsh response to the protests, opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi pledged to continue challenging official results that showed a landslide victory for Ahmadinejad in Iran's June 12 presidential election. He vowed to resist growing pressure to end his campaign and said he remains determined to prove that those who rigged the election are also responsible for the violence unleashed on opposition protesters.
The two rivals issued their dueling statements -- neither mentioning the other by name -- a day after security forces broke up the latest demonstrations, then temporarily detained university professors who had met with Mousavi.
Two grand ayatollahs, leading figures in Iran's predominant Shiite Muslim faith, also waded into the fray, as did European foreign ministers from the Group of Eight world powers at a meeting in Italy.
In a speech at a petrochemical plant in southern Iran, Ahmadinejad said Obama was behaving like his predecessor, George W. Bush, and suggested that talks with the United States on Iran's nuclear program would be pointless if Obama kept up his criticism....
That is PROBABLY the POINT, and IS HE EVER!!!
Ahmadinejad NAILED THAT ONE!
Ahmadinejad asked why Obama "has fallen into this trap and repeated the comments that Bush used to make" and told the U.S. president that such an attitude "will only make you another Bush in the eyes of the people."
Is THAT WHY? They REMOVED the article because of the TRUTH?
Ahmadinejad also praised Iran's election as demonstrating "the great capabilities and grandeur of the Iranian nation" and declared that his country is practicing true "freedom," as opposed to "this unpopular democracy which is governing America and Europe."
He RINGS the BELL again!!!!
Americans and Europeans "have no right to choose and are restricted to . . . two or three parties" in voting for their leaders, he said.
Can't really argue with that, either.
In Washington, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs dismissed Ahmadinejad's criticism....
And what the WEB was able to ADD!
A senior Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Nasser Makarem Shirazi, called for the election dispute to be settled through "national reconciliation," saying in a statement Thursday that recent events "have caused deep regret and sorrow in all Iranians loyal to the Islamic establishment and revolution . . . and have gladdened the enemy," state-run Press TV reported. "Definitively, something must be done to ensure that there are no embers burning under the ashes" and to turn "hostilities, antagonism and rivalries . . . into amity and cooperation" he said.
Gees, what a "terrorist."
At a G-8 meeting in Trieste, Italy, foreign ministers sought to forge a united stand against the Iranian crackdown but ran into opposition from Russia. Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said Iran "must now choose whether or not it wants to keep the door open to dialogue with the international community, because the open hand from the United States, that we supported, must not be greeted with a hand covered in blood."
Tell it to ISRAEL, bub!
And the Iranian reposte?
"If a hand is stretched covered with a velvet glove but it is cast iron inside, that makes no sense," Khamenei said."
But Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov opposed any condemnation of Tehran, saying after talks with Frattini that "isolating Iran is the wrong approach."
The streets of Tehran were largely quiet Thursday....
At least 17 people have been reported killed in violence after the presidential election, state-run media have reported. But Press TV, an English-language version of state television, put the death toll at 20 and quoted "informed sources" as saying that eight of the dead were members of the pro-government Basij militia.
Did OBAMA CRITICIZE THAT?
There was no independent confirmation of the claim, which marked the first mention in official media of deaths among security forces in the recent violence.
Same thing with "suiciders" but they belch those out no problem.

Rather than give me my PRINTED PAPER PIECE the Globe gives me this NYT turd:
TEHRAN - Step by step, Iran’s leaders are successfully pushing back threats to their authority, crushing street protests, pressing challengers to withdraw or to limit their objections to the disputed presidential election, and restricting the main opposition leader’s ability to do much more than issue statements of outrage.
Translation: the COUP ATTEMPT has FAILED!!!!!
Two weeks after Iran’s disputed presidential election, Mir Hussein Moussavi, the top challenger, issued an angry statement yesterday that underscored his commitment to press ahead - but also his impotence in the face of an increasingly emboldened and repressive government.
Moussavi does not have a political organization to rally, and during the height of the unrest he attracted a large following more because of whom he opposed - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - than because of what he stood for, analysts said....
Sounds like how we elect our presidents, doesn't it, 'murka?
But there were signs of continued resistance. A few conservatives have expressed revulsion at the sight of unarmed protesters being beaten, even shot, by government forces.
So now the ZIONIST AGENDA-PUSHERS are grafting on to IRAN'S VERSION of EXTREMIST PREACHERS? Will they STOP at NOTHING and SHAMELESSLY USE ANYONE to ADVANCE their SICK, EVIL PLAN? (Answer: yes)
Only 105 out of the 290 members of Parliament took part in a victory celebration for Ahmadinejad on Tuesday, newspapers reported. The absence of so many lawmakers, including the speaker, Ali Larijani, a powerful conservative, was striking.
This the New York Times? Yeah, that's right!
Why am I NOT BELIEVEING THEM?
To avoid violent suppression of street protests, people are turning to other ways of expressing dissent. Echoing a symbol of defiance to the shah, the ritual of 10 p.m. rooftop shouts of “God is great’’ and new chants of “Death to the dictator’’ have been growing stronger by the day.
Drawing THOSE PARALLELS is SICKENING!!!!
This is an attempt to REIMPOSE a NEW SHAH named Pahlavi!
Some people have begun to identify and embarrass plainclothes agents by circulating photographs of those who infiltrated protests and beat demonstrators. And protesters have pledged to release thousands of green and black balloons today in memory of those killed in the clashes.

The government appeared to fall back on a familiar playbook: trying to rouse Iranians through populist appeals against outside interference and dark accusations of foreign conspiracy....
NO WONDER I STOPPED READING the Jew York Times!
Ahmadinejad stepped out of the shadows to lash out at President Obama, who said Tuesday that he was “appalled and outraged’’ by the crackdown on protesters.
Yesterday, Ahmadinejad said: “We expected the British and European countries to make those kinds of comments. But we were not expecting Mr. Obama, who has talked about change, to fall in the same trap and follow the same path that Bush did.’’Did they misquote him again?
That's lashing out, huh?
