The Iranian Regime is excited that Sen. Barack Obama would put an end to the U.S. “occupation” of Iraq, Gateway Pundit reports. His post today features excerpts of a report from Iran’s FARS News:

In an interview with France’s Paris Match on Thursday, Obama said, “I want to have direct talks with countries like Iran and Syria because I don’t believe we can stabilize the region unless not just our friends but also our enemies are involved in these discussions.”

He was also quoted as saying he would also hold a summit with leaders of Muslim states to address the growing gap between the West and the world of Islam.

The Illinois senator added that to repair the image of the United States in the world, he would “put an end to the war in Iraq.”

“Occupying the country has put the odds against us with the world,” Obama said.

Gateway Pundit concludes his piece, saying “The mullahs got a crush on Obama.”

No doubt about that, Jim. They’re even sticking to Obama’s presidential campaign talking points!
