Iran's President: Obama has limited time for change

Tehran, Feb 17, IRNA -- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a press conference in Tehran that US President Barack Obama has a limited time to materialize his campaign promise of change.

In response to a question by an Iraqi reporter, he said that unfortunately, American statesmen are seeking to pave the ground for the Baathis to govern Iraq.

Condemning foreign interference in other countries’ affairs, Ahmadinejad noted that they have occupied the Arab state under the grounds to topple the Baathists, but, they now are after returning them to power.

He said that democratic election is the right of the Iraqis, adding that the government and Majlis will approve the elections law and whoever the Iraqis elect, should be accepted by all.

He criticized US President Barack Obama for his failure to shut down Guantanamo Bay detention camp over the past year since taking office despite his campaign promise to do so./end
