Senior Iran cleric hails “Islamic state of Iraq”

Tehran, Iran, Aug. 26 – A senior Iranian cleric welcomed on Friday the establishment of an Islamic republic in Iraq and hailed the country’s new constitution as one based on “Islamic precepts”.

Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, who heads the powerful ultra-conservative Guardian Council, told worshippers in Tehran’s Friday prayers, “Fortunately, after years of effort and expectations in Iraq, an Islamic state has come to power and the constitution has been established on the basis of Islamic precepts”.

“We must congratulate the Iraqi people and authorities for this victory”, he said.

Jannati, who is a top confidant of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said that all justice-seeking counties of the world “have no model other than the Islamic revolution in Iran to turn to”.

1. Unbelievable - Did you ever think you would see Bush & Iran on

the same side of victory. Both of them proclaiming the constitution as a wonderful event. The only difference is Bush is not telling us what the constitution entails or is calling it an Islamic Constitution or Government. Bush is just saying look what I did, I got the Iraqi people a constitution.

Also does not tell us how the women will have less rights than they had under Sadam.

2. oops!

Well, in Vietnam we were afraid elections would legitimately put Communists in power, so we put in a puppet regime. Are we now going to have to worry about the legitimate will of the Iraqi people?
