Iran supports Obama??

[txmusicmom]

Is that a good thing?

Iranian TV

Mohammad-Ali Fardanesh, a political science professor at Shahid Behshti University, which is an Iranian state-funded school.

At the end of the article he states-

"Turning back to McCain, Fardanesh concluded, "My problem is that McCain is a war hero, a veteran
pilot, whose plane crashed in Vietnam and who spent eight and a half years at war."

What do you think?

Every poll I've seen shows that nearly all foreign countries overwhelmingly support Obama.

I don't know anything about Fardanesh and why he would consider McCain's POW status as a problem though.

Think about what? That he and Iran don't want to see MCCain as President, or that they claim to be basing it on his war experience?

in context, it seems those comments were in regards to overall health.

look at what else he said about McCain:

Continued Fardanesh about McCain: "He doesn't know the difference between Shiites and Sunnis, yet he wants to resolve the problems in Iraq? He doesn't know whether Iran is Shiite or Sunni, or the difference between the two. ... He is a respectable, humane, honest, and patriotic man, but when it comes to foreign policy and domestic affairs, he has nothing to offer."

"McCain not only has no experience, but doesn't even know where 'abroad' is. The poor guy is very absentminded," said Fardanesh.

that actually makes a lot of sense.

umm, and the person speaking wasn't a government official.

So a Iranian poli-sci prof likes Obama. *shrugs* Ok.

which is an Iranian state-funded school

so? MTSU in Murfreesboro, TN is a state-funded school . . . does a poli-sci prof there speak for all of TN and the U.S.?

That they want Obama ..............and not McCain-

Iran has already stated they will only sit down and talk IF

(1)we take ALL soldiers out of the middle east. ( we still have soldiers in GERMANY, Turkey, Italy, Azors, Norway, and England) and

(2) America must cease it's support of Israel.

I would feel the same way if they want McCain-

Why would you want one of our enemies to prefer a presidential candidate?
They do not want peace- they want their way. They want Israel gone.

How is that good?

Shahid Behshti University, which is an Iranian state-funded school.

and FURTHERMORE, MTSU in Murfreesboro, TN is a state-funded school. Does that mean any poli-sci prof there speaks for all of TN or represents the views of the U.S.? Yeah . . . not so much.

you know how not-so-good-looking people can look attractive through beer goggles? I think you have McCain goggles on. Back up and look at things in context.
