In New York, defiant Ahmadinejad says Israel will be "elimin

Post by Chiron »

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday disregarded a U.N. warning to avoid incendiary rhetoric and declared ahead of the annual General Assembly session that Israel has no roots in the Middle East and would be "eliminated."

Ahmadinejad also said he did not take seriously the threat that Israel could launch a military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, denied sending arms to Syria, and alluded to Iran's threats to the life of British author Salman Rushdie.

The United States quickly dismissed the Iranian president's comments as "disgusting, offensive and outrageous."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hinted Israel could strike Iran's nuclear sites and criticized U.S. President Barack Obama's position that sanctions and diplomacy should be given more time to stop Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Iran denies it is seeking nuclear arms and says its atomic work is peaceful and aimed at generating electricity.

I wonder if it's worth creating a poll as to who will start the "first strike"?

Hmmm....not one psychotic "homegrown" guy around with an itchy trigger finger?

Could we get the entire Iranian delegation tickets to the Ford theater? Presidential suite?

Subcontract with the Syndicate. I am sure they still have plenty of resources despite the demise of John Gotti.

I can't help but wonder if Ahmadinafuck didn't have the urge to take his shoe off and beat the podium. Sound a little like he was channeling old Nicky K.

Cats like Mahmoud usually consider three options in this situation:

1. Step down when his term is over.
2. Generate another 'landslide election' in his favor and advertise non-existent 'public approval' of his remaining in office in order to do so.
3. Create a public emergency where it is 'necessary for the public welfare that he remain in position for the duration.'

I'm hoping he steps down.

Still, there's the devil you know factor.

Believe it or not it is my opinion that Mahmoud is not as bad as we wish he was. The political will exists in Iran to build the sort of weaponry he is pursuing. His leaving power will not change Iran's aspirations as a nation. Mahmoud does an excellent job of dancing right on the line of 'enough but not too much' progress towards his goals. He is also accessible politically. I'm not threatened by him, and any replacement will be a roll of the dice for our nation's best interest. It's sort of how the rest of the world views our political elections every four years. It's kind of weird to see how the rest of the globe feels for a change, eh?

I don't know that he even gets a vote, considering he's just a mouthpiece.
