Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati is so ungrateful; he should congratulate
the USA and other members of the "Coalition of the Willing" for
invading Iraq and removing Saddam Hussein - something Iran was
unable to achieve during its war with Iraq. However, his crowing
about the spread of Islamic revolution will be short-lived; God
will destroy Iran [Persia] and its "coalition" as per Ezekiel 38.

Tehran, Iran, Aug. 26 - A senior Iranian cleric welcomed on Friday the
establishment of an Islamic republic in Iraq and hailed the country's
new constitution as one based on "Islamic precepts".

Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, who heads the powerful ultra-conservative
Guardian Council, told worshippers in Tehran's Friday prayers,
"Fortunately, after years of effort and expectations in Iraq, an
Islamic state has come to power and the constitution has been
established on the basis of Islamic precepts".

"We must congratulate the Iraqi people and authorities for this
victory", he said.

Jannati, who is a top confidant of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei, said that all justice-seeking counties of the world "have

"Lebanese Hezbollah and the state of Iraq are not the only supporters
of the Islamic revolution", he said.

Referring to the West as Global Arrogance, the hard-line cleric said,
"No matter how many stones they throw in our path, they cannot prevent
the spread of the Islamic revolution in the world".

"We are the winners in the nuclear issue, too", Jannati said. "The way
is paved for our progress and we just need to work hard".
