US more ferocious than Saddam
TEHRAN: Iranâs Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told thousands of Islamist militants here yesterday that the United States was âa more ferocious wolf than Saddamâs regimeâ.
| Yes. We are, just in a different way. Isn't it grand? |
âThe United States, despite its pretence of saving the Iraqi people, is a more ferocious wolf than Saddamâs regime,â state television quoted Khamenei as saying. âHateful US action in different areas, particularly Iraq, can no longer deceive public opinion, as every day the worldâs hatred of the United States increases. Unacceptable pressure, installing a foreign ruler, demanding resources (from Iraq), anarchy ... have exposed the true brand of human rights and democracy offered by the United States to the people of the Middle East.â Denouncing what he called a US propaganda campaign against Iran, Khamenei said âthe United States, by way of propaganda and media complexes ... pretends their opposition to Islam stems from the call for holy war, terrorism and hate ... but itâs a big lie, because Islam is exonerated from all such accusations."
