O.k….maybe not, but it sounds a heck of a lot like them:
From Ahmadinejad…
“We do not believe that the US policy perspective, looking at the rest of the world as a field of confrontation, will give good results” (AFP)
“The US government has made a series of mistakes in the past few decades. First, the imposition on the US economy of heavy military engagement and involvement around the world…, the war in Iraq, for example…, these are heavy costs.” (AFP)
“[The] American empire in the world is reaching the end of its road, and its next rulers must limit their interference to their own borders.” (BBC)
From Democrats….
“There haven’t been gains, Wolf,” the speaker replied. “The gains have not produced the desired effect, which is the reconciliation of Iraq. This is a failure. This is a failure.” (Nancy Pelosi, Politico)
“I believe … that this war is lost, and this surge is not accomplishing anything, as is shown by the extreme violence in Iraq this week,” Reid said. AFP
“Barack Obama and Joe Biden will launch an aggressive diplomatic effort to reach a comprehensive compact on the stability of Iraq and the region. This effort will include all of Iraq’s neighbors—including Iran and Syria.” (Barack Obama’s Web site)
