"Obviously, when you get many more people saying that the U.S. presence in Iraq is a threat to world peace as say that about Iran, it's a measure of how much Iraq is sapping good will to the United States," said Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center.
It's awkward, but quoted speech is often awkward. People always speak first draft.

@fansy,
Quote:
as say that about Iran,
could done as e.g. Iran. That is the way of saying for example which is rather dull for some people so thay use the pharse 'such as say' or 'such as say for example'. As times goes by people shorten the full pharsing such that to new English users it is confusing.
