John Pilger on Obama and Iran
John Pilger on Obama and Iran.
By John Pilger on Monday, November 10th, 2008 - 105 words.
What He Said:
“Let me repeat and state what I stated in the course of the campaign, Iran’s development of a nuclear weapon I believe is unacceptable. We have to mount an international effort to prevent that from happening … Iran’s support of terrorist organizations, I think, is something that has to cease.”
President-elect Barack Obama, November 8th 2008.
What He Meant:
“America’s divine right is to threaten and attack whomever we wish. Meanwhile, the increase in our nuclear arsenal is of course acceptable and our support of terrorist organizations, notably our own, is something that must not cease. And thanks to my flock for all those votes.”
