US President George W. Bush's policies have harmed Washington's global image and the country needs "wise" leaders to regain its lost credibility, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said Saturday.
Mohammad Ali Hosseini said Bush's policies have isolated him both internationally and at home, citing the Republican Party's losses in Congress last November as proof of Bush's declining popularity.
"Instability in Iraq is the result of wrong policies and incorrect decisions of the US government. This illogical approach of the US government is even disliked by the American people," Iran's official news agency, IRNA, quoted Hosseini as saying.
"The United States needs wise leaders to regain its lost image," Hosseini was quoted as saying.
Hosseini's comments were in response to Bush, who on Thursday called Teheran a "destabilizing influence in the Middle East." The US leader also warned Iran to stop exporting sophisticated explosive devices into Iraq that the US alleges are used in attacks on American troops or "there will be consequences."
Hosseini did not address the US allegations but said Iran will continue to support the process of government building in Iraq and cooperate with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government.
Well, well, consider the source(s).
Why is it so difficult to tell whether such statements are made by leaders of nations that wish the US harm, or by leaders of the Dem Party?
Yes, I saw the same in the Iranian state-owned press. There are quite a few interesting things to be found in foreign press outlets. Our own media describe the Iranian regime as a pussycat that can be knocked down by a few academics.

Smiling at you...I read the foreign press everyday.
I had just had pull out that old playground adage: “Consider the source” when I read your post.
(Couldn’t help myself.)
When Iran has anyone that doesn’t have diarrha for brain matter running their third world POS country, wake me up.
Members of anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-life collectives have much in common.
I hate to be the turd in the punchbowl, but as we say in the South "even a blind hog finds an acorn now and again."
It's just not the policiies this would like to think it is.
I think a buncha wise-guys dealing with Iran would be just great ;-)

Yeah, we need Obama who would attack sovereign nations because there are terrorists there. Makes sense.
I think the translation is wrong. Lemme see if I can do better—
“We prefer American leaders who kiss our butts. Please elect a Democrat today.”
