Poll question: IRAN endorsement of * - Will * get a bounce?
IRAN fears John KERRY. That seems to be the explanation given for their recent endorsement of the shrub.

Will * get a bounce.

1. Is this story in our mainstream media? If a tree falls in the forest...
you know the rest.

3. Both Al Qaedia and Iran want Bush to win
If they had both backed Kerry, I doubt the liberal media would let it go.

7. Exactly...
Bush can not use this. Many look at Iran as a terrorist state.

5. Link to the story I translated from Dem Spiegel.

Do you have it in English?

Maybe I should have but it in latest breaking news.

I don't think he'll get a bounce. I think the Arab/Muslim vote knows Bush screwed em. We should get them on our side now, regardless.

11. Here is the Yahoo story
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=694&ncid=696&e=2&u=/ap/20041019/ap_on_el_pr/iran_us_elections

TEHRAN, Iran - The head of Iran's security council said Tuesday that the re-election of President Bush (news - web sites) 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.
