Iran Tells Obama: Don't Repeat Bush's False Accusations

TEHRAN (Reuters) -- Iran called on U.S. President-elect Barack Obama on Monday not to repeat what it said were false accusations leveled against the Islamic Republic by the outgoing administration in Washington.

The United States accuses Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons and President George W. Bush has spearheaded a drive to isolate Tehran internationally. Tehran denies the charge.

Or what?

Iran is not developing nuclear weapons or are planning to. Its all a lieeeee. Its just false propaganda to go to war for this New American Century idelogy from the neocons. Its all a lie. Please America don't fall for this bologne like we did in Iraq.

I have no doubts that O will handle Iran in the best possible way. But, don't tell him what to do.

[Dem02020]

Boy you gossip columnists at the Huffing Post sure are afraid of my comments, aren't you?

Despite them containing nothing foul or outside the bounds of a reasonable (even insightful) political opinion.

It makes me feel powerful, to have struck such a nerve... it makes me feel brilliant even, when I contrast what it is I write, with the chattering drivel you all favor.

Welcome to the club, my friend....

[djgonebad]

Doesn't it suck, losing your words to cyber-space?

But your right, WHAT ARE THEY AFRAID OF, OR IS IT WHO?

[anewdayinDC]

don't take it personally, sometimes, it's a technical glitch.

[trucap]

same thing happened to me ......lol

With the hybrid and electric cars coming out in a year or two, the oil import from Iran and other oil producing countries will begin to fall...Iran will be in no position to dictate terms, and if the nuclear plants are really for civil use, open them up for International inspection; it would be also helpful if Iran usees its influence to help secure peace in the region...that will be a good start...

Poor Iran. They're so misunderstood. They're really just a fun bunch of guys that want freedom for all.
Especially women.

Don't hold your breath on that one Iran Obie. The US takes it's marching orders from it's owner Israel and Obie has surrounded himself with Israel firsters just like Jr. Expect of more of what you see below.


"I (Olbert)said 'get me President Bush on the phone'. They said he was in the middle of giving a speech in Philadelphia. I said I didn't care. 'I need to talk to him now'. He got off the podium and spoke to me.

"I told him the United States could not vote in favour. It cannot vote in favour of such a resolution. He immediately called the secretary of state and told her not to vote in favour."

O snaps a finger and Iran Runs...

LOL

Why is Appeasing AIPAC okay? It's sickening to see the politicians get on their knees and worship another country.

Is it okay to accelerate our road to bankruptcy because we care more about Israel than America?

Just talk with them and tell the Israelis to shut up or put up, if they want our billions then we should get a say on how our foreign policy is run.

[hortonhearsawho2]

Ah yes, Views from the Porch....

[MyNameIsJames]

In order for Obama not to repeat the lies of George Bush, Obama would have to tell the Israeli Department of Misinformation and Paranoia to F*** OFF. Do you think that Obama has the spine to do such a thing?

[ObjectiveRealist]

Yes.

I think the corporate media lack the courage and integrity to broadcast informed experts of the caliber of Scott Ritter because informed experts disagree, on every substantive matter, with the Bush administration.

He was exactly right, both about the "facts on the ground" in Iraq and the political ramifications of the GOP's irrational wish for "regime change" in Iraq. We can accomplish much more toward global political stability, and our own prosperity, by deploying our military abroad *only* where there is U.N. support, both for tactical and political reasons. Honest, responsible professionals, and facts, will form the basis of Obama's policies, so yes, the privileged position above reproach that the Bush administration has afforded to Israel, is finished.

[cactusgal]

OR, .you never disappoint

[antifluff]

All the people he has been known to associate so far fit right in as "honest, responsible professionals" where facts (as their faith dictates) formed the basis of his policies. What will he do, swallow everything they say and then when someone criticizes, tell them, "I didn't know they were like that".

[JiminNC]

Iran should figure out how to keep its friggin mouth shut.

[Mollabaji]

Jimin,

" Iran should keep its mouth shut"? Why? What gives you the right to say so to anyone?
Iran does not need U.S. incenstives, and , be sure it will continue the work to produce nuclear engergy whether you like it or not. U.S. throughout its hisroty has never been able to accept a country that is INDEPENDENT and Iran has been so for 30 years now. Iran will not become another puppet state like it used to be before the Revolution no matter how much Washington wishes it to become.

[hortonhearsawho2]

So, how long left on that student visa there pal....

[antifluff]

The people of Iran should speak out. Their leader with his little invisible friend (some number inman?), he should present some facts and not spout the lies that are easy to demonstrate as such. If a leader in the west talked about an invisible "friend" that was telling (not guidance) him how to lead, he would be institutionalized.

[drewtom]

Hey Molla,

First of all, unlike in Iran, our Constitution gives a right to say what we think. Second, Nobody in this country believes they want nuclear energy only and given their belief that Isreal should not exist...so unless they change their thinking I support Isreal's right to do what ever is needed to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons.

[SoCalNick]

Hey IRAN..try ASKING!!

You don't tell THIS POTUS SH!1T

He is not Puppet George!

[PippiLongstocking]

LOL

[WorkingClass]

This is good advise. Just stop lying about Iran. Come to think of it, just stop lying about everything. What a concept.

[Grunty1]

Bush never figured that out...
