Khamenei 'approves of Iraqi talks'
Evening Echo ^ | March 21 2006

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said tonight he approved of proposed talks between US and Iranian officials on Iraq.

But he warned that the US must not try to “bully” Iran.

It was the first confirmation that Khamenei, who holds final say on all state matters in Iran, is in favour of talks.

His comments came as US President George Bush said he favoured the talks, in which he said American officials would show Iran “what’s right or wrong in their activities inside of Iraq”.

Khamenei said that “if the Iranian officials can make the US understand some issues about Iraq, there is no problem with the negotiations”.

“But if the talks mean opening a venue for bullying and imposition by the deceitful party (the Americans), then it will be forbidden,” he said in a speech in the north eastern city of Mashhad, aired on state television.

Well hopefully his face shall drop when he hears they had better once and for all pull all their operatives out of Iraq, and end their nuclear weapon programs or they are facing an eventual attack. Of course this is just what the madman Mahmoud Abmadinajdi want to hear. After all they think allah is going to spare them when world chaos starts to usher in the hidden goon, followed by the return of the Mesiah. Can't win with these folks. Hopefully a lot of the Mullahs that love to drive around in black limos and eat fine food shall wake up and start plotting how to take out the madman and his growing adherants before the point of no return comes upon them.
