Bush Praises Iranian Pro-Democracy Protestors (Patricia Wilson, Jun 15, 2003, Reuters)

President Bush on Sunday praised pro-democracy demonstrators in Iran, calling their protests a positive step toward freedom.

"This is the beginning of people expressing themselves toward a free Iran which I think is positive," Bush said.

Thousands of Iranians in Tehran protested against their conservative Islamic rulers for a fifth night on Saturday and smaller protests were reported in two other cities in the biggest anti-establishment demonstrations for months.

"I think that freedom is a powerful incentive," Bush told reporters after he attended church services during a weekend visit to Kennebunkport. "I believe that some day freedom will prevail everywhere because freedom is a powerful drive."

Clearly sentiments like that are a function of Paul Wolfowitz clandestinely seizing control of the President's voice box. Posted by Orrin Judd at June 15, 2003 7:35 PM
