Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday that the United States had faced defeat in its strategies in Iraq and the Middle East.
Speaking in Iran’s holy city of Qom, Khamenei also said that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who had been hospitalised after suffering from a stroke, had been “destroyed” by continued Palestinian resistance against Israel, in comments carried by state television and news agencies.
“America has been politically defeated in Iraq as well as in Palestine since the butcher of the Palestinians who hoped to crack down on the intifada within three months was destroyed”, he said.
The Iranian Supreme Leader also said that the U.S. was pressuring its regional ally Syria as well as Lebanon because its “grand” Middle East Road Map had “been met with failure”.
“If the people and leaders of Syria and Lebanon exercise vigilance, the U.S.’s conspiracies will be thwarted”, Khamenei said.
He went on to say that all the various social movements of the world, including socialism, Marxism, nationalism, and Western liberal democracy, had lost their appeal for the people of the world and Islam, or religious democracy, was the sole alternative. “The eyes of the world are now on [Iran’s] Islamic revolution and the slogans and way of thinking of this revolution”.
He's just repeating what Harry Reid and Teddy Kennedy told him.
--Not to mention the zman--I get it, they talk to each other all the time.
Khamenei must have had a phone call from President Sheehan.
I think Cindy should go over there and help spread the word.

Word to your mullah. The libs in the country should be proud.
But what he says is an untruth, and if choses to believe that's fine, it doesnt make it fact. Something every Islamofacist has in common with Democrats.
LOL!

So I guess that means they can all lay down their arms, since we're defeated, right?
Wouldn't it be a kick in the ass if Sharon gets better.
Then he can say that God willed him to get better to defeat the Islamonazis and the plague they are spreading through the world.
Yep...I guess they can beat their AK-47's into plows and chant for the return of Mahdi. And bring out the snow cone machines will they watch the Saturday night honor killing in Tehran square.
Baghdad Bob has apparently found new employment.
...let me guess, training giant spiders?

This guy is giving mullah ($$$) a bad reputation or is this the filthy mullah we are always hearing about or maybe it is the "mullah corrupts" thingy
Better. He's obviously the press spokesman for the Iranian Mullahs.
Well, if anybody knows defeat to Iraq, it's the Iranians
Whoops...I initally thought this was a story on Howie Dean...it's unbelieveable how Iran's mullahs and the Dems have the same talking points!...Strike that...it is TOTALLY believeable that the Dems, the party of J F'ing Kerry, would speak the same message as our enemies.
There's that 'holy city' adjective again. Is every city in the Middle East a 'holy city'? Are there any unholy ones? Come on; there's got to be a Detroit or Chicago or Philly of the M. E. At least give me a Pittsburgh equivalent.
