NEW YORK: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Tuesday condemned Iranian President Mahmoud anti-Zionist and anti-US remarks in his speech at the UN General Assembly.
"I strongly condemn President Ahmadinejad's outrageous remarks at the United Nations, and am disappointed that he had a platform to air his hateful and anti-Semitic views," Obama said in a statement.
"The threat from Iran's nuclear program is grave. Now is the time for Americans to unite on behalf of the strong sanctions that are needed to increase pressure on the Iranian regime," Obama said.
In his speech Ahmadinejad lashed out at Israel and its chief ally the United States, saying "the Zionist regime is on a definite slope to collapse and there is no way for it to get out of the cesspool created by itself and its supporters." He added: the "American empire in the world is reaching the end of its road."
Obama, a senator from the state of Illinois, called on his Republican rival, Senator McCain, "to join me in supporting a bipartisan bill to increase pressure on the Iranian regime by allowing states and private companies to divest from companies doing business in Iran.
"The security of our ally Israel is too important to play partisan politics, and it is deeply disappointing that Senator McCain and a few of his allies in Congress feel otherwise," he said.

Israel having second thoughts about attacking Iran.
By: northsunm32
This is a somewhat remarkable change. Israel has even suggested that if Iran did get nuclear weapons it still would not destroy the Israeli state. This might seem like common sense since Israel has itself atomic weapons and far superior armed forces and delivery systems compared to Iran. Only those who really consider Iran's ...
