Iran hard liners "thank" IDIOT SON for boosting ultraconservative turnout
Way to go fucktard.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iran's spy chief used just two words to respond to White House ridicule of last week's presidential election: "Thank you." His sarcasm was barely hidden. The backfire on Washington was more evident.

The sharp barbs from President Bush were widely seen in Iran as damaging to pro-reform groups because the comments appeared to have boosted turnout among hard-liners in Friday's election -- with the result being that an ultraconservative now is in a two-way showdown for the presidency.


"I say to Bush: 'Thank you,"' quipped Intelligence Minister Ali Yunesi. "He motivated people to vote in retaliation."

2. I sense a pattern here
bush says 'bring it on' and troops get killed.

Who else has 'thanks' to shrub?
