Iran “Orders” U.S. to Exit Afghanistan; Says Israel Will “Collapse” | NewsReal Blog

Iran “Orders” U.S. to Exit Afghanistan; Says Israel Will “Collapse” | NewsReal Blog: "As we have apparently abdicated out moral authority as global peace-keeper — being that the subtext of the Obama administration’s foreign policy is to cleanse distasteful “American arrogance” from the delicate palettes of world dictators — it is no surprise that Iran’s theocratic figurehead, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ratcheted up his bellicose rhetoric at the country’s annual “Army Day” this Sunday.

Via Al-Jazeera:

“The region has no need for alien troops and they should return home and let the regional states take care of their own affairs,” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a speech marking the country’s annual Army Day on Sunday.

“They must leave the region and this is not a request but an order, and the will of the regional nations,” he said.

He said the deployment of US and Nato troops in Iraq and Afghanistan under the pretext of fighting terrorism had not only failed, but also increased insecurity in both countries."
