IRAN VOWS TO DISEMBOWEL BUSH
By Irene Miller
TEHRAN - President-Elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a packed news conference
Monday, "George Bush should be disemboweled and thrown to the dogs."
Speaking at his first major news conference before becoming President
Tuesday, Ahmadinejad reacted emotionally to questions about Iran's nuclear
fuel enrichment program. At times, his face became flushed and contorted
as he angrily fielded reporters' questions.
"They tried to smear me by falsely accusing me of being in a photo taken
of the 1979 US Embassy hostage incident," Ahmadinejad said, "but Bush and
his primates came up with bananas smeared in their chimp faces. George
Bush should be disemboweled and thrown to the dogs."
CIA spokespersons have concluded that a 1979 photo taken of the US Embassy
hostages does not include Ahmadinejad. Several former hostages said they
thought the new Iranian president was identical to a man shown in the
photo. The Bush administration said they know Ahmadinejad lead a student
anti-American protest in 1979. Armed Iranian revolutionaries, supporting
the Ayaltollah Khomeini's leadership, held 52 US hostages for 444 days.
The US Embassy Hostages For Truth (USEHFT), based in Waco, Texas, said
they don't believe Iranian officials. "I still think it's that damned
Ahmadinejad thug, said Henry Thorensen, a former hostage. "He's got that
same sneaky Muslim mug I saw back then, and he ain't fooling me." USEHFT
plans a national campaign to get to the "bottom of this ugly issue," a
spokesman said. A book and video is also scheduled to be released in
October.
International reporters were stunned by the remark, which was followed by
Ahmadinejad making deep growling sounds and showing his teeth. One female
UPI correspondent fainted while others booed and hissed the
President-elect. The President-Elect's personal bodyguards, at one point,
brandished handguns, yelling at protesting reporters to "shut the hell up
or get sent to your Christian heaven!"
"I've never heard so much s---t in my career as a correspondent," said
Nancy
Evers, of United Press International. "It so rocked me that I lost
consciousness."
Evers was treated by EMT personnel and released. She sustained a bruise to
her head, apparently after falling.
A Reuters correspondent became so upset he vomited.
