Ahmadinejad To U.S.: Say You're Sorry
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on the U.S. and its allies Saturday to "apologize" to Iran for accusing it of seeking nuclear weapons, a day after the U.N. nuclear watchdog released its latest report on Iran's atomic program.
Ahmadinejad said the report by the International Atomic Energy Agency vindicated Iran and warned that Tehran would take unspecified "reciprocal measures" against any country that imposed additional sanctions against Iran.
The IAEA report said several past questions about Iran's nuclear program had been resolved, but highlighted Tehran's continued refusal to halt uranium enrichment.
"The best way for them (the U.S. and its allies) to compensate for their mistakes ... (is) to apologize and pay compensation," said Ahmadinejad in a televised address to the nation.
"If they continue (to pursue sanctions), we have definitely drawn up reciprocal measures," added Ahmadinejad, without elaborating.

And thats the problem with the illegals in this country.
They don''t have the sophistication to live here,,,
Well, not to burst your bubble, but I am not going sit here in fear of a **** ant little country that doesn''t even have a nuke, when we are sitting on megatons of it.
Especially since we have almost as big a dipwit running our country as is running Iran. To me that''s even scarier. Thank goodness he''ll be gone in a few months and don''t let him lead us into another war.
If he goads Iran into annihlating our Fifth Fleet and sacrificing those soldiers his behind will hang for it!
But go ahead and cower if fear if you want to.

I have a cousin like him--can''t get anything through to her either.
My take is --if you can''t listen with an open mind--I''m not listening to your "scripture and verse" stuff--I know most of it.
Your religion is too "verbatim" as are the Extremist Muslims.

You can quote scripture and verse after scripture and verse, thats the way you have been trained.
The way the truth and the light--is the way you have been trained.
I and many other "christians" make every effort to live by the 10 Commandments--but we don''t try to put ourselves "above" anyone else by covering up our weaknesses with quoting scripture!
Your religion is too "verbatim" as are the Extremist Muslims.

Oh,,,? I did bring that up,,in a earler post. Did you miss it?
He has "controlled" that Rick!
If that were the case the USA would never need a military.
George Washington was a devout Christian and he fought and won in the Revolutionary War.

(sigh,,with chin hitting my chest)
If all of humanity,, would just,,,Live , and let Live,,we wouldn''t have all these wars,,,and in general,, world strife.
WHY,,,can;t you except that????
And Bush,,and other world leaders,,,are at fault,,by not living by these standards...
If you were a Christian,,you''d have no problem with this concept!!
