| Ahmadinejad: 'US aims to prolong Iraq occupation' |
| 2007-01-14 |
| Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Friday termed the new Iraq policy by US President George W Bush as "just a change of rhetoric," the ISNA news agency reported. "Unfortunately the US continues the trend of taking wrong decisions [in Iraq], and just changing the rhetoric will not stop this trend," Ahmadinejad was quoted by ISNA as saying in reference to new Iraq policies announced by Bush on Wednesday which include the dispatch of more than 20,000 extra troops into Iraq. "The main problem of the current US administration is ignoring the interests and welfare of the Iraq people. Any policy not considering this basic principle is doomed to fail," Ahmadinejad said. "The only way out for the US is leaving all state affairs to the elected government of Iraq," he added. The Iranian Foreign Ministry on Thursday condemned Bush's new policies calling them "de facto just another US effort to continue occupation of Iraq." |

| #4 Yes, you're right again, Mackkkkmoooood, and that's despite all your efforts to drive them out and teach them a lesson. Go back to your centrifuges. |

| #2 Hmmmm...No. If everyone had behaved themselves we'd already be out of there. However, all sorts of miscreants have spent three years in one big temper tantrum requiring adult supervision. And you sir, are asking for special attention. You don't want to see us when we are really mad. |

| #1 Occupation is such a strong word. I hope it turns into something more like a symbiotic relationship that doesn't need to exist for very long after which we can walk away with our backs turned and our guns down. |
