"Liberal" Ayatollah Defends Hizbollah Terrorists

TEHERAN
Iranian President Mohammad Khatami described Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement as the “pride of world Muslims” for its resistance to Israel at a meeting with one of its leaders recently freed from jail by the Jewish state, Iran’s official news agency IRNA said on Tuesday.

The reformist president on Monday met Lebanese cleric Sheikh Abdel Karim Obeid, one of a number of Hezbollah prisoners freed in late January in a swap with Israel.

“Freed Lebanese PoWs are symbols of religious resistance,” Khatami was quoted as saying to Obeid, who had been held in Israeli jails for 14 years before his release.

“The Lebanese resistance fighters are the pride of world Muslims, Arab nations and the Iranians,” Khatami said, adding that “no one will forget the fact that it was the Lebanese resistance fighters who kicked out the Zionist occupiers and liberated Lebanon.”

Khatami isn’t a "reformist." Bush lied when he said "Islam is peace." Islamofascists and not "Baathists" are attacking American troops in Iraq. Limited war cannot work in Iraq. It is time to cut out all spin, and refer to all spinners by the term they so clearly deserve: liars.
