In the interview, Ahmadinejad said of the Bush administration, "see how they talk down to my nation."
During the midst of the American hostage crisis in 1979, Wallace interviewed Iranian leader Khomeini, locking eyes with the cleric when he asked for a response to Egyptian President Anwar el-Sadat calling Khomeini a lunatic.
Of Ahmadinejad, Wallace said, "He's an impressive fellow, this guy. He really is. He's obviously smart as hell."
Wallace said he was surprised to find that the Iranian president was still a college professor who taught a graduate-level course.
"You'll find him an interesting man," he said. "I expected more of a firebrand. I don't think he has the slightest doubt about how he feels ... about the American administration and the Zionist state. He comes across as more rational than I had expected."
Ahmadinejad, of course, is the same leader who routinely questions whether or not the holocaust actually happened in Europe and makes almost weekly calls to wipe Israel off the map.
And Wallace uses the word "rational" to describe this man.
Also, let Wallace's last comment about "the Zionist state" sink in for a moment. Wallace isn't quoting Ahamdinejad; those are Wallace's own words.
Zionist state. Nice, Mike.
Personally, this seems to be about equivalent to some enterprising reporter interviewing Hitler after Munich in the 1930's, listening to his spiel about how the "Jewry" is destroying Europe and then coming back and telling everyone at home about how Adolf seems pretty "rational."
The only difference between Hitler and Ahmadinejad being, of course, that Hitler eventually fulfilled his desires to slaughter Jews. So far Ahamdinejad has only been able to accomplish that through proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas.
Who's the lunatic?
Mike Wallace, like Neville Chamberlain, is just another wishy washy leftist who can't fathom that tyrants and despots easily lie to cover their true intent. To believe that Ahmanutjob is an honorable person is to keep their heads firmly planted up ...... well ...... in the clouds.
Kumbaya doesn't really have a translation into the language of the terrorists.
I believe Wallace's comment about Hitler was, "That young whippersnapper is smart as hell."
What is it with these TV idiots and their schoolgirl crushes on psychotic dictators?
He's obviously smart as hell
The devil usually is, you half wit.
Wallace finds Sponge Bob, and Patrick impressive too!
What's crazy to me is that Ahmadinejad would love to kill Wallace simply because he's Jewish. Talk about being a useful idiot.
Just wait until Mike Wallace meets up with the devil, for he is going to be really thrilled.
You know, I'm about ready to slap the crap out of these people (like Mike Wallace, Drunken Kennedy, Cindy
Sh!thead) who are pandering to these cutthroats. Everytime they stroke the egos of these terrorists makes them a bigger threat my children. These pukes need to just stay out of my way!
Mike has gone Neville.

Fauxtography for jihadists?
Introduction to Thermonuclear war?
Wallace should have been wearing a suicide bomber vest. Then he could have invited Ahmadinejad and the ayatolla Khomeini together and taken them both out.
I don't know, but we ought to Freep that comment section on that See BS site.
Yes...reminds me of Dan's "glowing account" of his interview with Saddam...oh, let's not forget BaBa Walters interview of Castro and how she found him "just-oh-so-sexy!"
Idiotic traitors, each and everyone!
More imbecilty from SeeBS
Those are Ahamdinejad's words for Israel.
Did you read that comment section? WOW!
If I'm not mistaken, Ahmadinejad never said anything about "wiping Israel off the map", however through intentional mistranslation, this is what "they" said he meant.......This guy is probably be the brightest head of state since JFK. What's more, his positions on Zionism and the Holocaust are admirable and represent a small but welcome ray of light in a world that seems to have gone utterly barmy.......Ahmadinejad and Hitler are complete oposites. Hitler wanted all Jews out of Europe and into Palestine, while Ahmadinejad simply wants to send them back where they came from. For some reason, both men have been greatly villified.
It goes on, and on, and on. I need a bath after reading some of those comments.
Just like James Earl Carter,who never met a dictator he didn't like....Ever notice when old Journalists "retire"
they do a Cronkite on everyone and try to out Hollywood the
old actors/actresses for their banality and anti-American
cozing with the enemy?
