Bush urges Iran regime to heed people's will

by Laurent Lozano 1 hour, 48 minutes ago

ABU DHABI (AFP) - US President George W. Bush reached out to the Iranian people Sunday in the keynote address of a Middle East tour, telling them they had a right to live under a government "that listens to your wishes".


In the wide-ranging speech in the United Arab Emirates capital of Abu Dhabi, Bush hit out at the Tehran regime across the Gulf saying that it was "today the world's leading state sponsor of terror" and, with Al-Qaeda, the main threat to the region's stability.

The US president also addressed Israelis and Palestinians telling the former that peace with their Arab neighbours was the best guarantee of security and the latter that they should "reject the terrorists who pose the greatest threat to a Palestinian state."

The United Arab Emirates is Iran's main trading partner with up to 10,000 Iranian firms operating in its commercial hub of Dubai and Bush's intention to use the platform to speak out against the Tehran regime had been well trailed.........

1. He's projecting again
Everything he accuses someone else of/wants others not to do is what he's guilty of himself.

2. What I didn't realize is the latest Naval *spat* with Iran is the 3rd ....
What I didn't realize is the latest Naval *spat* with Iran is the 3rd in recent months. One even included the US warships firing warning shots.

It seems that the goading will continue and escalate until chimpy/dickie have a *justification*.

Just like Iraq. They will continue down the list of reasons to go to war until one sticks.

WW III could be just around the foolish corner.

5. This, from a guy with a 34% approval rating
Who claims leadership means going against the will of the people.

8. IF THEY WANT TO REJECT THE TERRORISTS
THAT ARE THE GREATEST THREAT TO THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE, WOULDN'T THAT BE ISRAEL?

INSTEAD OF WIDE RANGING, LET'S CALL IT WHAT IT IS. WILD RANTING!

THIS GUY IS A PSYCHOPATH. GET HIM OUT OF OFFICE BEFORE HE ACTUALLY DOES START WWIII.

9. Iran has an election in March. The outcome has already been decided

Former reformist president Mohammad Khatami has said he won't run in the March elections but has begun publicly supporting reformists who hope to wrestle control of the legislature away from the conservatives.

The Supreme Leader further called for a large turnout at the polls. -----

11. I think U.S. presidential elections need UN observers as well
I have very little faith in U.S. elections, after the last two.
