Still the Ayatollah's Stooge

Submitted by Bill Waldron (United States), Nov 1, 2005 at 11:20

It seems clear that Mr. Ahmadinejad's parroting the venom of the late Ayatollah Khomeini is suggestive that he was very close to his hero.

I wonder if this does not give some credence to the much talked about picture of what appears to be Ahmadinejad parading with the blindfolded American hostages. He denies it. But his latest remaks make one wonder if the man of today was not the same stooge of yesterday. Same stooge--different day. And much more powerful.
