[EFerrari]

1. With a lousy translator. Wonder if it's his or one assigned to him. n/t

[earthboundmisfit]

3. Ditto, the first thing that hit me

Yah, I wonder also, if she's his own choice - I'll bet not

[EFerrari]

12. Her translation was on the abstract side, too and not idiomatic. n/t

[rog]

4. Really hard to listen to this.

This is one of the worst translators I've heard. I'm going to attempt to listen to the whole thing, but I'm going to need to look at the transcript later ... assuming that it's accurate.

Jeez ... this is really difficult.

.rog.

[cboy4]

7. Ughhh, you're right. This is almost umbearable.

:crazy:

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

8. liiiieeeees

[Zywiec]

10. LOL - I was thinking the same thing. n/t

[cboy4]

2. Oh my, glasses. I wonder if that's an attempt to somehow soften

his image?

He seems to be speaking in a humble tone, IMO

[EFerrari]

9. He seems to be speaking to an Iranian audience, rather than

an American or international one.

[rodeodance]

5. thanks

[rodeodance]

6. I think the message is that Iran is threathed by the US/others. They are protecting

themselves.

Thoughts?

[Avalux]

11. Of course. PNACers speak of bringing democracy to Iran -

we all know how the US 'brings' democracy to other countries. Damn straight they're threatened; they know they're on our hit list.

[npincus]

13. Q & A will be interesting.

[LSK]

14. tuned in

[EFerrari]

15. Isn't Reporters Without Borders a RW propaganda group or

am I remembering that wrong?

[Robbien]

17. Yes, they are. In fact they are funded through NED

Doctors without Borders are furious that this federally funded group is hiding behind the integrity of Doctors without Borders name's reputation.

[EFerrari]

19. Thank you! I was hoping you or Judi were around.

:hi:

[Zywiec]

16. "Iranian women are the freest women in the world" n/t

[cboy4]

18. "For hundreds of years we've lived in friendship and brotherhood

with the people of Iraq."

MMMMM, not completely.

[EFerrari]

20. He didn't say which hundreds of years. n/t

[LSK]

21. except when Saddam invaded them

Note who started that war.

[bdamomma]

22. Freedom of speech, he is hitting * hard.

[EFerrari]

23. Another question: is his so called holocaust denial

a direct comparison / object lesson about what is happening in Palestine? Because he just said it happened, in Europe, and why should the Palestinian people be made to pay for it with their lands.

[bdamomma]

24. wow that was quick over already.

[makhno]

25. Good job, C-SPAN

Way to cut Ahmadinejad's final remark.
