Chairman of the Iranian Guardian Council Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati: Arab Countries Should Have Chopped Off Bush's Head, Not Welcome Him

Following are excerpts from a public address delivered by Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, Chairman of the Iranian Guardian Council, which aired on Channel 1, Iranian TV on January 25, 2008:

Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati: Death to those who participated in the Annapolis Summit, and who got rewarded for this. Their mouths were stitched up, so that they could not speak out anymore. You really deserve death for being so despicable, and for wanting to please Bush, America, and Israel, rather than pleasing God, the Prophet, the Muslims, the oppressed, and the wretched.

[...]

That insignificant man [Bush] visits Islamic countries, while all these crimes are taking place. He travels from country to country, and you are handing him a sword – a sword with which you should be chopping off his head.
