Ahmadinejad predicts U.S. collapse again, labels Obama as puppetMay 25, 2011 - 09:52 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has again said the current political system of the United States will collapse soon. “Freedom-seekers will rule this country (the U.S.) soon,” Ahmadinejad said during an address on the sidelines of the inauguration ceremony of the first phase of a gasoline production unit in Abadan, Khuzestan Province on Tuesday, May 24. He added, “Those who speak of freedom (in the U.S.) themselves say which group has freedom (in their country) and can rule the country. What person seeking freedom has been able to win an election so far in this country, which calls itself the cradle of freedom? Only one group, either Democratic or Republican, can attain political power in the U.S., and the others are not allowed to express their ideas.” “(Barack) Obama is a neophyte and views nations from an imperialistic point of view, and he, through playing with words, speaks as if he is different than his predecessors, while their policy is the same and has not changed,” Ahmadinejad said. “This is all a puppet show, and Obama is nothing but a puppet, since those who have a role (in defining) the major policies of the U.S. are behind the scenes, but we know them and show the nations who they are,” he added, abna.ir reported.
