Iran’s president, railing again

Just a day after NBC's Brian Williams pronounced Iran's president as having a "new stance ready for further engagement," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blamed the world's "big powers" for the global AIDS problem.

Speaking in Tehran to ministers from the Non-Aligned Movement, which represents about two-thirds of U.N. member states, Iran's president said of the spread of diseases like AIDS: "If we are serious about finding the root causes of such scourges, we must first of all admit that they are the result of the economic framework devised by the big powers and the inefficiency of the political and economic systems currently dominating the world."

Ahmadinejad also criticized the indictment of Sudanese leader Omar al-Bashir on charges of genocide in Darfur, called for the lifting of sanctions against Iran and predicted that the "big powers" are going down.

Yesterday, Brian Williams said of Ahmadinejad: "It was clear to all of us watching and listening he brought with him a new approach." What will Williams say today?

I think everyone has heard enough of the egotistical Iranian leader Ahmadinejad. Someone should cover him with a huge Condom. Anything coming out from his mouth is just not believable. After used throw him away. As they say “Take it too the curb”

He has stated the truth. The spread of AIDS in Africa is directly related to Americas refusal to allow generic drugs to be used. This is a fact, it came about as part of their militant stance on IPR. Which part of this don’t you understand ?

Further the CIA has been involved in drug running for decades, the BCCI bank was a front for these operations, along with the Iran Contra and Nicaraguan arms deals - this is a documented fact.

Please learn to find out the truth rather than simply believing the garbage fed o you via the main stream media.

Brian Williams is a Nazi Propagandist and is making Iran look the fool.

Only an idiot would trust Brian Williams.

OMG

If you are looking for fair and HONEST reporting you will not find it at NBC, FOX or CNN… NOT ANYMORE…

You walked right into that one.
