President Ahmadinejad, speaking in Kermanshah, responds to Obama’s desire for change with demands that the U.S. end its military presence everywhere in the world outside the borders of the United States, and cease any support for Israel “rootless, uncultured, illegal, phony, murderous, killer of women and children, killers of babies”:

And now, a new government has come with the slogan of ‘Change’ and claims it will change the U.S. policies. Well, these are good words since the policies of Mr. Bush were one hundred percent unethical, anti- human and the embodied the opposite of divine values and the teachings of prophets of God. The behavior and policies of Mr. Bush are the filthiest and most criminal policies we have seen during the past fifty years.
Now that they claim they want change, and the underlying principles hidden in those statements are good, but please do pay attention, Oh dear people of Kermanshah, and the Iranian nation and all the nations of the world, let me talk to you for a few moments about this ‘Change’:
This is an important issue which deserved and deserves being discussed among the revolutionary and pious people of Kermanshah. When they say we want ‘Change’, this can take place in two forms: One is fundamental change, and effective and principal reorientation. The second method is tactical change, change in approach, and change in the discourse, which are all political rhetoric and tricks. It is clear that should this ‘Change’ refer to the second method, this will soon be disclosed and the nations of the world will take a position against it…
The new U.S. government must stop its military presence in the world…When we say policies will be changed it means the U.S. should end its military presence in the world, which means the U.S. getting all their troops together and bring them back to the U.S. to serve America within the territorial boundaries of the country.
In this world no one has asked them to make invasions… If you mean change you should stop narcotics production in Afghanistan…If they want change in policies, well change means the United States of America should not intervene in internal affairs of other nations. What is it to them how other nations live their life? Who has asked them to intervene…?
When we say change of policy, it means stopping support for these rootless, uncultured, illegal, phony, murderous, killer of women and children, killers of babies, the Zionists.
