Rafsanjani says enemies will suffer humiliating defeat in Iraq

IRNA

Tehran, Oct 26, IRNA -- Expediency Council Chairman Akbar Hashemi 
Rafsanjani said here on Sunday that whether they like it or not, White
House extremists will suffer a humiliating defeat in Iraq. 
Rafsanjani said at a ceremony to honor a group from the armed 
forces that even the American people refer to US President George W. 
Bush as a war criminal who should be put on trial. 
He said the US forces are trying to get rid of the insecure and 
tumult-ridden country of Iraq and today, there are rare cases in which
people across the world do not protest the medieval war-mongering 
policies of the occupiers. 
He added that Iraqi people have now been provided a historical 
chance to establish a free Iraq, being independent of foreigners, and 
reap an honor for themselves in the history. 
Ongoing conditions in the region and the world have provided a 
chance for unity in the world of Islam, said Rafsanjani, adding that 
in light of wisdom and vigilance any ambition in the region would be 
obstructed. 
"Despite all the enemy pressures and charges, Iran is now an 
island of stability in the region thanks to the blood shed by the 
martyrs, war veterans and war disabled during the sacred defense," 
added the Expediency Council chairman.
