America - the only nation in History who Has No Enemy
or none we’re allowed to admit to, anyway
Why? Bacause it upseeeets them.
McCain, known for acerbic comments and for sometimes firing verbally from the hip, was responding to a report that U.S. exports to Iran rose tenfold during President George W. Bush’s term in office despite hostility between the two countries.
A rise in cigarette sales was a big part of that, according to an Associated Press analysis.
“Maybe that’s a way of killing ‘em,” McCain said to reporters during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh. “I meant that as a joke, as a person who hasn’t had a cigarette in 28 years, 29 years,” he added, laughing.
Little O’Possum jab, there?
In a statement quoted by the website of Iran’s state Press TV satellite station, Hosseini added:
“We condemn such jokes and believe them to be inappropriate for a U.S. presidential candidate. It is most evident that jokes about genocide will not be tolerated by Iranians or Americans."
Only serious statements about genocide will be cheered by screaming, weeping crowds.
...Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said: “McCain’s crude remark on the indiscriminate killing of the Iranian nation not only testifies to his disturbed state of mind, but also to his warmongering approach to foreign policy."
Excellent stuff! The title is of this post is very interesting. Is it so? Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I like your blog very much.
