Ms Clinton's Wild Ride: Pot, Kettle, Black 

khamenei1From Bloomberg News Service:

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (pictured) is trying to undermine the Palestinian Authority, which intends to negotiate a peace agreement with Israel.

At a Tehran conference today, Khamenei said if the Western world wouldn’t put the question of who should rule the Palestinians to a vote, then it would show a lack of commitment to democracy. He called for “resistance” against Israel, aided by Muslims worldwide, to support the Palestinian people, according to Agence France-Presse.

Khamenei’s comments represented “clear interference in the internal affairs of the Palestinian people,” Clinton told reporters traveling with her today to Brussels for NATO and European meetings.
