Rooted in Truth.BBC:
Ayatollah Khamenei said the US had been defeated in its plan for the Middle East, and he went on to talk of the complete defeat of the United States in its plan to weaken Iran.
He said he was convinced President Bush would be tried in an international court for what he had done in Iraq — and even likened him to Hitler and Saddam Hussein.
“Americans will have to answer for why they don’t end occupation of Iraq and why waves of terrorism and insurgency have overwhelmed the country,” he said.
