Iran president says Bush confrontational
Source: AP

CAIRO, Egypt - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday that President Bush sent a "message of confrontation" during his recent Mideast trip. Bush spent much of his visit to the region, which he wrapped up on Wednesday, rallying support among Arab allies for a strong stance against Iran — calling the country the world's top sponsor of terrorism.

"President George Bush sent a message to the Iranian people and all the nations worldwide," said Ahmadinejad during an interview in Farsi with Al-Jazeera television. "This message reflects his own conceptions and it is a message of rift, a message of sowing the seeds of division. It is a message of confrontation demeaning the dignity of mankind."

The Iranian president said Bush's statements were made for domestic political reasons.

"They are in need of these statements for their presidential race," said Ahmadinejad. "However, these statements increase the sentiment of resentment of the Iranian people against the U.S. officials."

5. BBC News link
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has accused US President George W Bush of "sowing the seeds of division" during his recent Middle East visit.

Mr Ahmadinejad said Mr Bush had brought a "message of confrontation" during his tour, during which he warned Arab allies that Iran posed a threat.

In an interview with al-Jazeera TV, the Iranian leader also said Israel "would not dare" attack Iran.

He spoke as Israel announced it had test-fired a ballistic missile.

9. Bush said some people might call him a warmonger
And even a crazed dope like Ahmadinejad seems to be able to figure Bush out. Lucky for us the American people have been insulated from fair reporting on the corrupt Bush administration. But just wait until about 2010, when the evidence of the Bush administration corruption is finally revealed. And all these scriveners will write their books, and tell us how they knew it all along, and boy, would they have loved to tell you about it in real time, but now you can find out for just $24.95.
