Ahmadinejad: West failing to halt our nuclear victory
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Wednesday that U.S. President George W. Bush's era has come to an end and he has failed in his goals to attack Iran and stop its nuclear program.
Ahmadinejad, addressing thousands of people in this central Iranian city, also described the U.S. president as "wicked."
"This wicked man desires to harm the Iranian nation. [Bush] made plans, moved into Afghanistan and then Iraq, and announced that Iran was the third target," he said.

"I tell him... your era has come to an end. With the grace of God, you won't be able to harm even one centimeter of the sacred land of Iran," he said.
On the what he said was the failure of the West to thwart Iran's nuclear ambition, Ahmadinejad said, "In the past two-three years, they employed all their might, resorted to propaganda... and sanctions. If the enemy thinks they can break the Iranian nation with pressure, they are wrong... With God's help, today we have achieved victory and the enemies cannot do a damned thing."
His comments came a day after the United States and the European Union told the Islamic Republic they were ready to impose more sanctions over its nuclear activities, which Tehran says are solely aimed at generating electricity.
