Ahmadinejad demands US change 'behavior'

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused the United States of harboring imperial ambitions and demanded the administration change its behavior, in an interview with a US television network.

The Americans "want to build an empire," said Ahmadinejad, according to excerpts of the interview published by the CBS network on its website Wednesday.

"And they don't want to live side-by-side in peace with other nations. The American government, sir, it is very clear to me they have to change their behavior and everything will be resolved," said Ahmadinejad.

The interview, which was to be broadcast in full on Sunday on the "60 minutes" program, coincides with rising tensions between Washington and Tehran over Iran's disputed nuclear program and Israel's offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The hardline Iranian president said the administration of President George W. Bush had adopted a condescending attitude towards Iran over its nuclear program and criticized a UN Security Council resolution requiring Tehran suspend uranium enrichment activities or face the prospect of sanctions.

"Well, please look at the makeup of the American administration, the behavior of the American administration. See how they talk down to my nation. And this recent resolution passed about the nuclear issue, look at the wording."

The July 31 resolution was pushed through after Iran ignored a previous non-binding deadline and failed to respond to an international offer of a package of incentives in exchange for a moratorium on nuclear fuel work.

Ahmadinejad said Iran was still reviewing the package of incentives.

Western powers had "presented us with a package which we are studying right now," the president said. "We even gave them a date for our response. Ignoring that, they passed a resolution."

Ahmadinejad also expressed disappointment that the US administration had not responded to a letter he sent to Bush in May, which Tehran had presented as an important diplomatic initiative.

"Well, (with the letter) I wanted to open a window towards the light for the president so that he can see that one can look on the world through a different perspective," he said.

The Bush administration, however, dismissed the 18-page letter as little more than a rambling philosophical treatise that offered nothing new on the nuclear crisis.

Ahmadinejad scoffed at Bush for refusing his "invitation" in the form of his letter.

"We are all free to choose. But please give him this message, sir: Those who refuse to accept an invitation will not have a good ending or fate," he said.

"You see that his approval rating is dropping every day. Hatred vis-a-vis the president is increasing every day around the world."

CBS said the interview was conducted on Tuesday.

Let me see if I have this right. Ahmadingynutjob wants to destroy Israel, is directly funding Hamas and Hezbula (sp), and thumbing his nose at US, the UN and the world, but WE have to change OUR behavior....

It's all so clear to me now.....

Ahmadingynutjob has become a DEMOCRAT! IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!

Ahmadinejad was given the opportunity to play to the liberal socialists of America, in order to convince them that the USA is an imperialist power. Remember that many liberal wing nuts are former members of the SDS, and buy that the agenda of the USA is strictly economic. Such is not the case. Our economic motivation goes hand in hand with the spread of freedom and self evident truths set out in our Declaration of Independence. And we declare our independence from the submission to taotalitarian authority which this woolnknot represents, with extreme prejudice.

More propaganda from the MSM, designed to change the course of US history to one of submission, eppeasement and defeat.

FU Mike Wallace, and as for Ahmadinejad, a writ of execution awaits you in your future, just like all of the other fascist dictators of our modern era. You are going down, soon.

One can see Mike Wallace interviewing Adolf Hitler, and saying he was an impressive fellow in 1938, just like many Liberal journalists did back then. Mike Wallace is a limp excuse for a journalists who failed to ask any real , meaningful questions.

Wallace rolled over and like a dog laying on the floor and cocking its leg, proceeded to piss himself, came away impressed?

Anti-fascists like Gen. George Patton, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and even Truman are rolling over in their graves!

Send a journalist who will stand up to this POS and you will see Ahmadinejad's true colors.

Dear Mr. Ahmanutjob, I'd like to tear out your beard one hair at a time, and then stick you in a wood chipper feet first. Cordially, ...

The only thing the islamists understand is solid, brute, overwhelming force. Negotiations are futile, as they do not negotiate in good faith. I am reminded of the scene from the movie 5th Element where Bruce Willis held a bunch of bad guy aliens at bay with a gun. One spoke up and said,"Let's negotiate!" Willis said, "Okay I'll negotiate!" and put a bullet through the alien's head. Then Willis replied, "Anybody else want to negotiate?" The answer was no..................

I remember that scene. Someone asks, "Where did he learn to negotiate like that?" The president asks the same question!

The Hezbuttheads are asking to negotiate. We and Israel should do a "Bruce Willis Negotiation" on them......

As Deputy Barney Fife used to say about Ernest T. Bass, "He's a nut."

And no irani would understand it. In Iran, it is the thumbs up sign that they would understand.

We should start bombing Iran's nuclear development sites right away, and keep bombing until they are pulverized.

"And they don't want to live side-by-side in peace with other nations. The American government, sir, it is very clear to me they have to change their behavior and everything will be resolved," said Ahmadinejad.

Translation: "Once they stop aiding Israel we can destroy every Jew. Then everything will be resolved... for a while. There will be peace!! ... until we build up enough to repeat the process with every Hindu. Then there will be peace again, until we're ready for the next phase. The Christians will be last, as an honorarium for standing idly by at our request."

I think the Dems have their new frontrunner for '08. The only thing he needs to do is mention Kyoto or Global Warming to walk away with the nomination.

They don't call it SeeBS for nothing. Might improve it by calling it See & Hear BS, though.
