It appears the Iranian Parliament Speaker, Ali Larijani, is calling out President-elect Obama on reneging on his campaign promises…. already. One press conference, and already Obama’s starting to look and sound like Bush.
TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran’s head of parliament on Saturday criticised U.S. President-elect Barack Obama for saying its development of a nuclear weapon would be “unacceptable” and repeated the Islamic state’s call for fundamental policy change.
“Obama must know that the change he talks about is a fundamental change and not changing of colours or tactics,” Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said in comments on state radio.
Larijani, echoing Iran’s official line, called on Obama to carry out his campaign slogans of U.S. foreign policy change, including change to U.S. dealings with Iran.
“Repeating objections to Iran’s nuclear programme will be taking a step in the wrong direction.”
~~~Larijani said Iran would not yield to international pressure to abandon its right to nuclear technology.
“You (Obama) should know that you (the United States) cannot prevent Iran (from obtaining nuclear technology),” the official IRNA news agency quoted Larijani as saying.
Welcome to reality, Mr. Obama.
Below, the question about the congratulations from Iran, and “how soon” before starting that “talk” with Iran Obama campaigned on….
Obama, instead, promptly backpeddled into a policy matching that of the current administration: keeping pressure on the int’l community on Iran and their nuke programmes, and their support of terrorists.
My my… where have we hard that before? Like for the past two terms, perhaps? Guess the game remains the same, and the “change” that was promised… and the Iranians anticipated… won’t be happening after all. Out with the old “great Satan”, and in with the new “great Satan”.
Suits me just fine. Should put an end to bashing Bush’s policies now that Obama has adopted them as his own.
