Scott Pelley did a much better job interviewing Iranian president terrorist supporter Holocaust denier Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than the fawning Mike Wallace did in August of 2006.
Pelley didn't seem to find Ahmadinejad as beguiling as Wallace did.
He was tougher; not hostile, but tougher.
Ahmadinejad smiled through most of the interview. It was weird, the smile of a madman.
Responding to a question, Ahmadinejad said, "I'm a Muslim. I cannot tell a lie."
LIAR!!!
So much of what he said was lies.
Pelley started things off with the Ground Zero controversy.
When Pelley said that it would be an insult to Americans to have Ahmadinejad go there, he started talking about what a peace-loving man he is.
Ahmadinejad claimed, "We obviously are very much against any terrorist action and any killing. And also we are very much against any plots to sow the seeds of discord among nations."
LIAR!!!
This from the man who gets up every morning thinking up new ways to say he wants to destroy Israel.
Moving on to Iran's role in Iraq--
PELLEY: It is an established fact now that Iranian bombs and Iranian know-how are killing Americans in Iraq. You have American blood on his hands. Why?
AHMADINEJAD: Well, this is what the American officials are saying. Again, American officials wherever around the world that they encounter a problem which they fail to resolve, instead of accepting that, they prefer to accuse others. I'm very sorry that because of their wrong decisions taken by American officials Iraqi people are being killed and also American soldiers. It's very regrettable.
PELLEY: The American Army has captured Iranian missiles in Iraq.... There's no doubt about that anymore. The denials are no longer credible, sir.
AHMADINEJAD: If I may, are you an American politician? Am I to look at you as an American politician or a reporter? This is what the American officials are claiming. If they accuse us 1000 times, the truth will not change.
PELLEY: Are you saying that it is not the policy of Iran to send weapons into Iraq. Sir, forgive me, you're smiling, but this is a very serious matter to America.
AHMADINEJAD: It is very serious for us as well. I dare say it's serious for everyone. It seems to me it's laughable for someone to turn a blind eye to the truth and accuse others. It doesn't help.
And the reason that I'm smiling, again, it's because that the picture is so clear, but American officials refuse to see it.
This guy is all lies. It's nauseating.
