MIAMI, FLORIDA (AP) – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has fallen ill due to exhaustion brought on by his nonstop door-to-door campaigning for Barrack Hussein Obama in the South Beach area of Miami, Florida, a close associate has told CNN. “The president will eventually get well and continue campaigning,” said the associate, “no one knows better than Mahmoud how critical an Obama White House is for the success of Iran’s nuclear research program and its supremacy in the Middle East.” In fact, Iranian hardliners have optimistically dubbed the coming Obama administration as “Jimmy Carter 2.0.”

He promised “fundamental changes” in US foreign policy – saying America must “heal wounds” it has caused to other nations, revive its alliances and apologize for the “arrogance of the Bush administration.” The most important change would occur in the Middle East, where “decades of putting Israel’s interests first” would end. Jackson believes that, although “Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades” remain strong, they’ll lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House.

WASHINGTON – More than 10,000 people have signed an online petition urging the Army to let an Iraqi puppy come home with a Minnesota soldier, who fears that “Ratchet” could be killed if left behind.
