Rouhani's "Supreme Leader" Disses Him for Behaving Too Much Like a "Moderate"

Sounds like one of those "good cop/bad cop" scenarios is in play, even though only one cop--the bad one--has the real power:

Slamming the US as arrogant, dishonest, untrustworthy, and controlled by Zionists, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Saturday that “some” aspects of President Hassan Rouhani’s trip to the United Nations General Assembly in New York last month were “not proper.”

“We support the diplomatic initiative of the government and attach importance to its activities in this trip,” Khamenei said, but he added that ”some of what happened in the New York trip was not proper” — an apparent reference to Rouhani’s historic phone conversation with US President Barack Obama.

Khamenei was speaking Saturday at a ceremony of army graduates, where he said that he was pessimistic about dealing with an arrogant US regime, and vowed a harsh response to “disgusting threats.” That comment appeared aimed at Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who vowed at the UN last week to stand “alone” if necessary to thwart Iran’s nuclear weapons drive.

“We are pessimistic towards the Americans and do not put any trust in them,” he said, 10 days before the US and other world powers are to make a new effort to negotiate with Iran on its rogue nuclear program. “The American government is untrustworthy, supercilious and unreasonable, and breaks its promises,” he was quoted by AFP as saying.

Khamenei also said the US government was controlled by an international Zionist network...

And Obama thinks he can negotiate with this dangerous doofus because...?
