George W Bush warning that letting Teheran acquire atomic weapons risked putting the Middle East “under the shadow of a nuclear holocaust”.
He said, “Iran’s active pursuit of technology that could lead to nuclear weapons threatens to put a region already known for instability and violence under the shadow of a nuclear holocaust,”.
he has “authorized our military commanders” to confront “Iran’s murderous activities”. “We will confront this danger before it is too late”.
Iranian president Ahmadinejad is predicting the collapse of the American project to establish a democratic government in Iraq.
“The political power of the occupiers is being destroyed rapidly and very soon we will be witnessing a great void of power in the region,”
“You [America] cannot preserve your power over Iraq with a few tanks, artillery and weapons. Today, you are prisoners of your own quagmire. Today you have no choice but to accept the rights of the Iraqi people.
“I can tell you there will be a power vacuum in the region. We are ready with other regional countries, such as Saudi Arabia, and the people of Iraq to fill this vacuum.”
Mr Ahmedinejad launched a bitter personal attack on Bush describing him as “wicked, selfish and arrogant”.
