Iran - 1 / Barack - 0

Well this went as good as anyone with a half-a-brain (me) could have told you. Allowing his Capt. Obama superhero size ego get in the way of good policy - Barack failed miserably in his first international act of idiocy.

From Al-Jazeera --

We welcome change but on condition that change is fundamental and on the right track," Ahmadinejad said.

"When they say 'we want to make changes', change can happen in two ways. First is a fundamental and effective change ... The second ... is a change of tactics.

"It is very clear that, if the meaning of change is the second one, this will soon be revealed."

Continuing on the theme of "change", Ahmadinejad said: "Those who say they want to make change, this is the change they should make: they should apologise to the Iranian nation and try to make up for their dark background and the crimes they have committed against the Iranian nation."

Ahmadinejad also accused Washington of trying to stifle Iran's economic development since the 1979 Islamic revolution.

"Who has asked them [the United States] to come and interfere in the affairs of nations?" he said, while calling on the US to withdraw its troops from the Middle East.

Maybe we could call this the "Iranian Bitch Slap" heard around the world.
