Bush Receives Endorsement From Iran

[tuvor]

TEHRAN, Iran - The head of Iran's security council said Tuesday that the re-election of President Bush was in Tehran's best interests, despite the administration's axis of evil label, accusations that Iran harbors al-Qaida terrorists and threats of sanctions over the country's nuclear ambitions.

Historically, Democrats have harmed Iran more than Republicans, said Hasan Rowhani, head of the Supreme National Security Council, Iran's top security decision-making body.

"We haven't seen anything good from Democrats," Rowhani told state-run television in remarks that, for the first time in recent decades, saw Iran openly supporting one U.S. presidential candidate over another.

Though Iran generally does not publicly wade into U.S. presidential politics, it has a history of preferring Republicans over Democrats, who tend to press human rights issues.

2. I am waiting for North Korea to weigh in next

on Bushes' side. The Chimp is very popular with totolitarian disctators and generalissimo wannabes. They must know something about the benefits of an administration that places a low value on - human rights.

4. He can add it to Putin's endorsement

Bush now has the endorsement of the world's biggest theocracy and the world's biggest neo-fascist government. Why am I not surprised.
