“Look, you go to jihad with the naval graffiti teams that you have, not the naval graffiti teams that you would like to have. Did we equip the Mahdi Army? Yes. Did we send them Austrian sniper rifles? No. Did we give them Chinese sniper rifles? I can’t comment on that.”Iranian Cheney:
“Western democracy is in its last throes. Those throes may, of course, last for a few hundred years.”Iranian Feith:
“I have proof that the Americans have supplied plutonium to the Kurds. See, I have a copy of a memo by Porter Goss. Well, yes, the handwriting does look suspiciously like my own…”Iranian Scalia:
“Actually counting the votes could do irreparable damage to Ahmadinejad.”Iranian Bush:
“I’m running on a platform of religion, nationalism, and massive government spending. And please don’t ask me what I was doing in the 1970’s.”Oh, wait, that last one describes the guy who won the 2005 election in Iran. Shit!
