Asefi: Bush`s remarks beneath the dignity of a president

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, June 30, IRNA -- Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi 
here on Wednesday said that US President George Bush`s recent remarks 
in his speech at NATO summit in Istanbul on the Islamic Republic were 
beneath the dignity of a president. 
"Mr Bush should not forget that he became US president upon a 
court ruling and he has been under fire in recent months due to his 
unilateralism or in other words his authoritarian manner," Asefi said.
He has reached a point that many US academics as well as some 
scientific circles have warned him against the consequences of his 
undemocratic and authoritarian behaviors, Asefi added. 
Bush made such comments due to his disappointment at repeated 
failures and fury. 
Asefi`s comments came after the US president claimed in his speech
to the recently-concluded NATO summit in Istanbul that Iran was 
trying to develop weapons of mass destruction and spread terrorism 
around the world. He also described Iran as a "threat to world peace."
