The escalation of infighting and uncovering of internal secrets of the regime have deeply worried mullahs&rsquo; Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n<p>He allowed the debates between the candidates &#8211; approved by him personally &#8211; in a bid to warm up the already boycotted sham election. This was a miscalculation and a clumsy imitation of election campaigns in other countries. For the medieval regime with no capacity for such debates, the event was a blow to its entirety before benefiting one or the other candidate. <\/p>\n<p>The following are highlights from Ahmadinejad-Karoubi debate on June 6, 2009:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Karoubi<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>&bull;&nbsp;I believe if Ahmadinejad had been dealt with in a wise, rational and calculated manner since he took office, the reaction from high ranking officials had not been the way it is now.<\/p>\n<p>&bull;&nbsp;Your central bank said that the inflation rate was about 25 percent but suddenly, two days ago you lowered it to 14 percent by using strange calculations.<\/p>\n<p>&bull;&nbsp;You are giving us figures as if the country is flourishing, but the experts say that unemployment rate has gone up.&nbsp; I must add that the experts say the opposite to all the figures he [Ahmadinejad] presented to us.<\/p>\n<p>&bull;&nbsp;Ahmadinejad has given a loan of 40 billions of Tomans to Mahsouli who himself is a billionaire.&nbsp; The relevant documents on this are available.<\/p>\n<p>&bull;&nbsp;The supreme audit court reports that one billion dollars has been lost. You [Ahmadinejad] said there has been a mistake but again they said no this is not the case and one billion dollars has been lost.<\/p>\n<p>&bull;&nbsp;You say you have visited 100 countries and they have asked for your model of governing the country. Please tell us about your model, we like to know about it&#8230; Please name 20 of those countries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ahmadinejad:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&bull;&nbsp;You accepted 300 millions of Tomans [from Shahram Jazayeri&hellip;.]. You are a politician. Why you did not ask him what the money was for and why he should give you that money?<\/p>\n<p>&bull;&nbsp;When you [Karoubi] were in charge of Martyr&rsquo;s Foundation, you built jails in there and imprisoned people and they [prisoners] were beaten up&hellip; Did you have permission from Imam [Khomeini] or the head of the judiciary for this?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCRI &ndash; The TV debates between mullahs&rsquo; presidential candidates where the mullahs&rsquo;
