She married up!

by 1iraniam on

1iraniam

Good for her to be married to a jew, it shows that she had enough common sense not to marry a Muslim, she married up.

But I have objection to her giving this dirty murderer air time, he need to be arrested and put on trial for crimes he committed against Iranian people. She should have shown the picture of some of the kids that were subjected to the torture and rapes committed in Ahmadinejad's jails.

Your first name, "Christian", is beautiful. If you married a
"Jew" it was your very personal right and choice; nothing wrong with
that.  .....”A Jew ”?? ... so what?? Is
that sort of evil Nazism still around?? I guess it is...

Haven’t we learned enough or had enough of it?? For God's sake read some
recent history. 

Christian, your attire, manner and posture, during the interview, was
excellent. The dress you wore was fine looking and proper. People should keep
their "Amre be maaroof va nahieh be monkar" to themselves. They
should keep "Ya roo sari ya too sari" mentality for their mother's
sisters.

The Prince

by Ehsan karimi on

You criticized Ahmadinejad and his IQ as well as mine.

Ahmadinejad didn't say, you don't have gays in Iran! He said, we don't have gays in Iran !!!!!!!

You wrote , he waves at the blind and they cannot see. 

He waves at blind because he know they might be blind, but still deserve the love and respect. Also just because they are blind doesn't mean they will not know. Teachers will translate his speech and actions to the blind and deaf.

You wrote, he sees lights. 

Just because you don't see beyond your backyard, doesn't mean that is the whole world.  It is very possible for a man to reach to a point in life to see what many do not.

"Resad adami be jaee ke bejoz khoda nabinad,  Benegar ke ta che hadd ast tayaraaneh adamiyyat"

Let us discuss your IQ now !!!

Khanum Amanpour daashteem??

by Aarash4545 on

We know your name is Christian and you're married to a jew, but your roots are in Iran. So, it wouldn't hurt to show a little respect to those millions of Iranians who (rightly or wrongly) voted for him, by being less provocative in your dress code and general composure. Even those American women you showed on your laptop report were dressed more decently than you. Poor man had difficulty maintaining eye contact with you.

For a woman who is (was?) married to someone who for some 8 years worked closely with Clinton administration, and hence should be VERY familiar with international protocoles,you were particularly rude and aggressive towards a president of a country (any country) and you should hang your head in shame! In his place I would've refused to continue participating in the mascarade of an interview you put on.

But then again, it's me!

Deflated ego

by vildemose on

Mehraban jon: I actually don't think he was confident at all. He didn't have his usual swagger about him. His facial expressions and body language told a story of a  tired and  deflated ego; basically a defeated man  ready to appease his opponents.

Hopefully, the sanctions and khamenie's wrath have  taught him a lesson in humility. But I doubt that very much. I don't think sociopaths are capable of reaching that stage of maturity.


Sheila K

He appears less smart-assish

by Sheila K on

Did I hear Amanpour say, "...most tough sanctions..." referring to Rafsanjani? 


Mehrban

There was a new, quiet confidence and ease in Ahmadi Nejad

by Mehrban on

But the more important interview of the day in my opinion was the one with Hillary before this one.  She was so painstakingly careful about how she phrased her sentences and her choice of words about Iran that made me ask myself why is she being so cautious?  

She was also deferential towards the religious authorities in Iran "responsible civil and religious leaders to, take hold of the apparatus of the state."   I hope she was just being a good (?) diplomat.


The Prince

AN's Dogs

by The Prince on

The one thing more disgusting than this AN is his dogs and cronies here barking, kissing his ass while eating his dingle berry like cream puffs!

Brilliant? Genius? His word should be written in gold?!! What the hell are you yoyos smoking? IRI couldn't find goons with more than single digit IQs? Seriously!  Forget his barbaric crimes!   

He is the brilliant man who happens to send letters down in to a recently man made well for the Emam Zaman to read! 

He is the same genius who sees a Halo around his own head while giving a speech @ the united nations. 

He is the same learned and observant man who waves at blind students while visiting their school! 

He is the genius with golden words who said " Iran doesn’t have problems with gay people because we don’t have homosexuals in Iran."

I am sorry, is this your Genius? What does that say about you?

Good job By Christian Amanpoor

Ahmadinejad was in a hot seat wasn`t he?

He was not as smiley and relaxed as other times.


Saman Ahmadi

sargod, i've mentioned this before. his las name is ahmadinejad not ahmadi.

Before stoning he should be raped by dogs or donkeys, and then cut off his arms and take out his eyes, so he get the real feel of what is happening in IRI jails.

You are the one that think Ahmadinejad is "brilliant"! NO YOU DID NOT GET IT, You and the rest of the merderer Ahmadi's suporters will never get it, you know why? because of Islam. it made you stupid.

You can't help yourself, can you? When push comes to shove you will defend the Islamic Republic. What's wrong with putting Ahamdi on trial?

When the going gets tough the tough get on the side of Ahmadi.

You are in the wrong blog. This blog is about Ahmmadinejad not Bush.

I am surprised ...

by reader1 on

... he did not insist on Amanpour wearing Hijab.


1iraniam

He should be arrested!

by 1iraniam on

1iraniam

This is not about Amanpou!!! This is about these American press giving this murderer air time. He is nothing but a savage tough, who should be condemned and put on trial in international court for crimes against humanity.

Thousands of Foul Cry Reports

by Demo on

on internet blogs/sites even will not "regain" both the IRI & its fake "Green" opponent's lost creditabilities after last year's people uprising.

Amanpour is from an elite Iranian father & a British mom. Her current spouse is a super rich Jewish American. She does a lot of face lift & lipo suction to look young. To save her job she even does not mind interviewing an untamed horse!!  Her biggest wish to be the next "Barbara Walters" of ABC network.

Unlike Coloumbia Unversity questioning of AN last year, all questions are provided to AN before his interviews both with ABC & CNN networks.

1iraniam The truth?! Well

by 1iraniam on

1iraniam

The truth?! Well let me see....Oh  yes steeling election,  shooting unarm people in the street, torture and rape in illegal jails. Assassinating demonstrators from roof top, should I say more?  Did Bush did all of these to Iranians? You have your head far up your ass that could not see truth if it was in front of you. You got one thing right he is not responsible for Iran being undemocratic, he just a "MALIJAK", he will dance on the leadership tune. Democracy died in Iran with Khomeini's picture appeared in the moon.


Sargord Pirouz

Wow, a triple repot here on

by Sargord Pirouz on

Wow, a triple repot here on the IC.

Amanpour is a biased, hostile partisan. Even so, Ahmadi did pretty good, all things considered.

Larry King actually does the best job at interviewing the president, which I can't believe I'm saying but it's true.  


IRI

1iraniam

by IRI on

Whatever bad, Hitler is more like Bush who has the blood of millions on his hand. This guy is no way close to most leaders, including Tony Blair.

Now don't go overboard. If you don't like someone, be truthful about him so people would take you seriously. If you blame HUGE crimes and UNBELIEVABLE stuff, you lose credibility all together.
AND it's not like we had democracy and suddenly out of the blue became non democratic with him as a president. Come on, you know that much.

The truth stands, he is the president of one of the most important countries in the world.

1iraniam "Bad

by 1iraniam on

1iraniam

"Bad president?!" is that all you can call him? how about murderer, liar, insult to humanity and....! He does not represent Iranian people. He is a mouth piece for criminal Khameini regime and Sepah.  By the way Hitler was an important leader of Germany  too!


Demo

Simply Unwatchable

by Demo on

Unwatchable and thus a big time server mainly due to the lady interpreter’s horrible voice. In any event the best way to deal with AN and his alike is to completely ignore them as nobodies. Unfortunately that is very hard for American/Foreign media to digest.

 PS: Was there any question in regard to current whereabouts of IRI spy “Shahram Amiri”& of any notion that his CIA release had been in exchange for the release of the lady hiker last week?     


Demo

Ehsan, Loving Your "Wisdom"

by Demo on

Yes, you are 1000% right. Oh Boy.

Americans can not handle the "truth" The “truth” that “Neda Agha Sole-town’ had been trained in Venezuela to commit suicide in mid-day & in the crowded street and to let the videotaping goes on proving that people in IRAN have all the freedom they want. Even committing suicide in public!! Not to mention that their former leader, Khomeini, had committed suicide by drinking poisonous liquid after sitting in his chamber for 8 years & witnessing the young of two neighboring countries of Iran & Iraq killing each other to their bones.  

I tell you, AN is a real "grizzly-ant."

And 100 bravos to your "wisdom" & for the "belief" that there is a difference between Rafsanjani & Ahmadinejad!! VOW!! Your name must be written in GOLD in the top the most intelligent people in the world. 


Ehsan karimi

I love the part where

by Ehsan karimi on

I love the part where Amanpour asked about the importance of the sanctions and that Rafsanjani has said, they should be take seriously.

Ahmadinejad said, Of course, we take them seriously, they are in violation of international laws and are crimes against our nation.

This sentence should be written in GOLD above the main entrance of the United Nations building.

I tell you, he is Brilliant.


IRI

Why is he getting air time?

by IRI on

Because he might be a bad president or you don't like him but he is a president from one of the most important countries in the world.


1iraniam

Why is he getting air time?

by 1iraniam on

1iraniam Why this murderer is getting a chance to get air time is just stupid. He lies without any hesitation, and there are people who actually think  that he has something to say! it is laughable!!! To those of you who are supporting this murderer, shame on you.
