Ahmadinejad offers to be an observer at US presidential election

Having failed to win a response with an 18-page letter to President George Bush or to a request to visit the site of the September 11 2001 attack on New York, Ahmadinejad has offered himself as an observer in next year's presidential election.

The proposal came in a speech to volunteers with the Basij, a pro-regime militia. He said he was prompted by a belief that Americans would vote against the current administration in a truly free poll.
However, the terms of Ahmadinejad's offer appeared to betray some confusion about the potential candidates.

"If the White House officials allow us to be present as an observer in their presidential election we will see whether people in their country are going to vote for them again or not," he said. The US constitution prevents Bush from seeking a third consecutive term, while no member of his administration is expected to be in the running in next November's poll.

He obviously is doing this to get a rise out of us, and according to the article, he doesn't even understand that Bush won't be running again.

they were illegally appointed by the Supreme Court.

On the other hand the Guardian obviously doesn't. Also, from the translated words of Ahmadinejad in the article, it simply is not clear that he meant Bush personally, or the administration, meaning the current ruling party, in general.

Love it!
