Iran expects 'different approach' from next US leader: Ahmadenijad

Iran expects a "different approach" from the next US president, whoever wins the November elections, President Mahmoud Ahmadenijad said in an interview published in Italy Wednesday.

"Whoever wins the elections, I'm sure that the United States will change, it will have a different approach," the Iranian leader told the Italian daily La Repubblica.

"The United States will have a reduced sphere of influence in the world," he predicted, adding: "The new president will have to respond to the real demands of the American people: 40 million American citizens do not have health insurance, the victims of the New Orleans hurricane still have no homes."

In addition, the United States "will have to withdraw the soldiers from Iraq (since) the American people will not tolerate continued spending of billions of dollars on weapons," said Ahmadenijad, in Rome to attend the UN food agency's summit on food security.

Asked whether he would negotiate with the new US leadership come January 2009, Ahmadenijad said: "It is they who cut off the links with us, hoping to suffocate us. Today Iran is an advanced country. We are ready for dialogue with anyone, except with the Zionist regime, in relations based on mutual respect and fairness."

Well, considering Iran still exists, I don’t suppose a different approach would be that hard to manage.

Well, his fax machine is working. He got the talking points newsletter from the DNC.

Obama's damage to America will probably be irreversible.

At this point in the game, the only option we have left is to hold our noses, vote McCain and pray that he wins in November.

I ain't happy about it, but what choice do we have?

"It is they who cut off the links with us, hoping to suffocate us.

And if we had anyone other than Carter as president we would have done a lot more than cut off links with Iran.

Mahmoud, I expect the next Iranian president to give us back our embassy. Not that you’ll be around to see it.

They’ve been hoping for Carter II since Reagan took office. They might get him.

And Ahmad wonders why the Pope didn't want to talk to him... (shaking head)

OPEN NOTE TO AHMADINEJAD:

You sir are the grand prize winner of today's STUCK ON STUPID award.

You need to:

1. Enroll in a 12-step anger management program.
2. Get a good medical check-up.
3. Seek psychiatric help for your delusional thought process.
4. Get some rest.
5. Hold an election immediately and have the Iranian people vote
for a qualified President and leader (which is not you at this time).

Yes, I had to do a double-take and see that this was Ahmawhackjob speaking and not one of our Demaogues or RINOs..... How do we tell the difference?

p.s. I would like to know what % of HIS nations’ citizens have comprehensive health insurance and how many do not have a comfortable home in which to live. Not that it’s up to govt. to provide such things, but I’d just like to see that this drooling hypocrite is actually keeping up with his own pretended ideals.
