The United States has been openly critical of Iran’s refusal to give up their nuclear arms program and this fact does not sit well with the Iranian spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.  Ali Khamenei has recently offered up some harsh words to America.

“America is evil and rude. They need to be punched in the mouth,” stated Ali Khamenei. “By punched in the mouth I mean that we need to continue to enrich uranium, build nuclear weapons, get them in the hands of as many terrorists as we can and assist them in detonating them in the northeastern United States. Boston, actually. Inside of Fenway Park. Probably in early April of 2006, but I will get back to you to firm up that date.”

These remarks have come on the heels of a breakdown in negotiations between the European Union and Iran. The EU was prepared to offer Poland, Austria and Northern France to the Iranians in exchange for a “pinkie-promise” to discontinue their nuclear weapons program. From the outset of talks, the Iranians had made it clear that they would accept no less than Italy, Monaco and Finland.

“Northern France? What the hell is that?” asked one Iranian official. “Thanks, but no.”

Reacting to Ali Khamenei’s remarks, Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer has warned President Bush to avoid a confrontation with Iran. Ms. Boxer labeled Khamenei’s remarks “benign at worst” and went on to say that they “were so vague as to be applicable to almost anything.”

The President has not released an official response to Ali Khamenei’s threats, but sources close to Mr. Bush say that he has been “mumbling something about a ‘good old-fashioned Texas a**-whuppin’ all weekend.”
