Restoring Amerikkka's Image in the World
Smart!! Rope-handled Shovel Diplomacy
TEHRAN, March 21—Iran’s supreme leader on Saturday called President Obama’s promise of better ties a “slogan”...
“They say, ‘We have extended a hand toward Iran.’ What kind of hand is this? If the extended hand is covered with a velvet glove but underneath it, the hand is made of cast iron, this does not have a good meaning at all,” ...
Khamenei referred to Obama’s decision this month to renew trade sanctions against Iran on the basis that Iran continues to pose an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to U.S. national security.
uh… yeah...
Khamenei said… We ask, have you lifted the unjust sanctions against the Iranian people and returned [Iranian] assets you hold? Have you retracted hostile propaganda against Iran?”
...Some Iranian politicians have suggested that the United States should apologize for organizing the ousting of Iran’s democratically elected government in 1953 and other U.S. involvements in Iran. Others have demanded that the Obama administration review its ties with Israel, a country Iran does not recognize.
..."We have no experience of this new president and administration,” he said. “We will wait and see. If you change your attitude, we will change, too. If you do not change, then our nation will build on its experience of the past 30 years."
Hm.... not as easy as it looked from Springfield, izzit?
