Iran denounces Bush's new accusations against Tehran
I've already spoken about how dull I thought Bush's State of the Union address was; simply a boring recitation of tired Republican Party talking points. I honestly think if you show future generations every State of the Union Address since 2003 and the invasion of Iraq it will be impossible for anyone to name the year that any particular speech was made such is the mind numbing repetition of the man. Were it not for the inclusion of the word "surge" late on in the game they would almost play out word for word.
Of course, the most recent State of the Union included the inevitable references to Iran, but what is most interesting here is the Iranian reaction to Bush's latest attacks. It's almost a yawn...
Bush, in the final year of his presidency, is taking the term "lame duck presidency" to new levels. I was reading the Independent over breakfast the other day and got to page eighteen before I realised that they had made no reference to his State of the Union address at all. It was simply as if it hadn't happened. I honestly can't remember that ever happening before."The U.S. president's anti-Iran remarks lacked new points... unfortunately, Iranians have heard repetition of such baseless allegations over the past seven years and it is quite evident that the U.S. people and their representatives have got tired of listening to such allegations," Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini was quoted as saying in a statement.
Bush is now in the last year of his presidency and "he has made no remarkable achievements during the two consecutive terms at domestic or international level," and "he is unlikely to make good on its failures and defeats through putting the blames on others in order to cover up its weaknesses," Hosseini added.
"We advise the U.S. president in the remaining time to heed concerns of the American people which could be the damaging economic recession, violation of human rights through adopting undemocratic commands, severe nervous breakdown from which the U.S. servicemen suffering owing to loss of their hope in occupation of Iraq," said the Iranian official.
And now we have the Iranians almost yawning as he threatens them...
What that man has done to US credibility around the world is simply astounding. Here Keith Olbermann spells out just how we got to the present position. Who could possibly take this man seriously?
Is it any wonder that what he says now is treated with such contempt?
