For what? Apparently “belligerent and unreal statements against Iran” and “irrational wording”.
Tehran said US President George Bush could be prosecuted for his belligerent and unreal statements against Iran, adding that the US president would be impeached for his irrational wording by his own party upon return to Washington from a tour of the Middle-East.
“Upon his return to Washington, Bush will be impeached by his own party because the statements he made against Iran in one of the Arab countries and during his visit to the region did not accord with any logic,” Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said in a joint press conference with his visiting Kuwaiti counterpart here in Tehran on Wednesday.
“Bush must apologize to Iran for his lies and for the unfounded and baseless insults he has levied against Iran and the Iranian nation during his term of office,” he added.
Mottaki said the best thing Bush could have done during his recent visit to the region was making acknowledgements about the United States’ wrong policies and mistakes and offering his apology to Iran for his smear propaganda and insults to the Iranian nation.
Meantime, he said that Bush’s statements could be prosecuted, reminding that during Bush’s term, the US administration has, unfortunately, inspired the world countries and regional people with a very incorrect picture of Iran and other issues.
Which leaves Jim Hoft wondering what he did for entertainment before he began reading Iranian news outlets.
