From The Repuke Idiot File: Romney to UN: Indict Iran's Ahmadinejad

[cali]

Just days after highlighting his own foreign policy inexperience in a boomerang attack on his Democratic opponents, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is at it again. Returning to his favorite bogeyman in Tehran, Romney called on the United Nations to ban Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from speaking to the world body next week and instead indict him for genocide.

Romney's penchant for grandstanding was on display in his letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon. Citing Iran's support of Hezbollah, its nuclear program and General Petraeus' testimony about Tehran's backing of Shiite militia in Iraq, Romney called on the UN "to revoke any invitation to President Ahmadinejad to address the General Assembly."

Not content to rest there, Romney demanded the UN prosecute the Iranian President for his 2006 boast that he would "wipe Israel off the map." Influenced perhaps by hate speech laws or the 2002 Spielberg sci-fi stinker Minority Report, Mitt believes the Tehran tyrant should be arrested for speaking of crimes he has not yet committed:

"If president Ahmadinejad sets foot in the United States, he should be handed an indictment under the Genocide Convention."
Romney then offers his Republicans allies, virtually none of whom supported American action to halt genocide and ethnic cleansing Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo or Sudan, a two-fer. If the UN fails to act against Ahmadinejad, Mitt suggests President Romney would retaliate against the hated United Nations itself:

1. Someone call Romney's office and ask them if supports indicting his pals, Bush

and Cheney, for violating the Genocide Convention (?) One Million dead Iraqis!

2. Sadly enough, this kind of idiocy is the stuff the Right's wet dreams are made of

He'll clamor against Iran, their now favorite evil boogeyman, and get votes. Second, he is tough talking against the U.N., which we all know the Right hates.

Sure, he's an idiot to those of us who actually have higher brain function - but to everyone else(read:Republicans), this is the kind of tough talking bravado that they have come to love since Reagan. This was no gaff on Mitten's part.

3. Leave it to Mittiot Dumbney to continue pushing a horrid mistranslation of Moamoud's words

And one the 'liberal media' fails to correct, too.
