SNIPPET: "The survey was conducted by KA Europe SPRL, a privately owned research company.

Telephone interviews, conducted in Farsi, involved a random sample of 1,001 adult Iranians from May 11-20. The poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. The company says more than 90 percent of Iranians have landline telephones."

People in dictatorships do not provide truthful answers when polled.

100% of the Iraqi population was voting to elect Saddam Hussein before the "Great liberator" President George Bush freed 25,000,000 of them.

GOT LEGACY?

[Caipirabob]

I got that wrong. It was President George Bush and the courage and outstanding ability of our incredible soldiers and worthy allies.

“more than 90% Iranians have telephones”? hahahahahha what part of Iran is this flunky talking about? Teheran? don’t believe this statistic for one minute. You have to get on a wait list for a landline and sometimes I’ve heard it’s up to 15 years. Is the author referencing cellphones?

Those cracky-a$$ Iranians still can’t produce a printed up-to-date ‘phone book, too much nepotism and too many iranian grifters ( having a landline with an ACTUAL number is a blackmarket industry over there)- they’ve got poor to none basic service infrastructure industries.

Ask exile Iranians about how their relatives back in "old country" think about the US. Quite different results from when you "poll" subjects living in a totalitarian tyranny. No one can seriously suggest that you'd give an honest pro-US answer in a country with secret police and thug militias. Those who do sure have either too much balls, or a death wish.

Regardless of the worthlessness of the poll, also note the blatant bias in the headline. Because of Obama's submissive policy towards the islamic regime, otherwise pro-US Iranians might give a negative response. The whole point of political pro-Americanism is because until today the USA was in opposition to everything the islamic regime represents.

The biased "pollsters" and MSM assume that everyone in the world just has to love what Obama does. Sheesh.

What? You mean Arabs aren’t impressed by the embodiment of Allah?

[RU88]

The feeling is mutual.

[doodad]

Oh no, I feel just terrible about this.

You mean Arabs aren’t impressed by the embodiment of Allah?.................................... Don’t ever refer to an Iranian as an Arab. They are Persians, a former advanced civilization, not nomadic camel traders.
