Genocide with chai

I’m sure they had a lovely chat.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad met with Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah in Damascus on Thursday evening, according to the official Iranian news agency IRNA.

If we had a real CIA that did more than send hack diplomats off for poolside tea parties and leak like a sieve to the NYT, that meeting would have started with kisses and ended with a BANG. Sadly, the meeting just ended the way these things usually do, with more kisses and threats.

[Shorty] congratulated Nasrallah for the anniversary of Hizbullah’s “victory” in the Second Lebanon War, saying that “thanks to the victory, while the Zionist regime is becoming weaker every day, Lebanon is enjoying internal serenity.”

In his meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad, the Iranian president said that “Iran and Syria are allies and will remain allies.”

According to Ahmadinejad, Iran and Syria “are united against the enemies of the two countries and the region.”

Asked about the possibility of another war breaking out in the region, the Iranian president replied, “We hope the summer will bring victories to the region’s nations and failures to their enemies.” He refused to elaborate.

Nasrallah will elaborate soon enough. So will Mahmoud to Truncated.

The Iranian president is expected to meet with other leaders of Palestinian organizations, including Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal.

This little summer stroll of Mahmoud’s looks an awful lot like he’s tightening up strategy ahead of a new offensive. Gotta get all the players briefed on the new set of plays.

Oh, and if you’re waiting on the Iranian street to rise up and take Mad Mahmoud down before things get ugly (or uglier), you may be waiting a while.

Update: Good news: The liberal American street might rise up against a leader it considers evil.

Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Ahmadinejad.

Is it just me, or does the lil’ fella look like Jamie Farr?

But, but I thought Sunni and Shia would never get along.

I may have heard that from the same bum source that told me all Americans would be united in war.

It will be a long war.

yeah, about those ‘tea parties’…..the baker’s dozen intelligence-gathering agencies of the gov-mint can’t do anything LIKE YOU ARE SUGGESTING THEY DO until the Prez orders them to.

so they watch & collect, watch & collect until directed to do Otherwise.

Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal is currently meeting with the Cartoon-i-fada’s “moderate” cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi

Ahmadinejad said during the meeting that “the Lebanese nation can thwart any plot through unity, solidarity and resistance.”

Heh. Was he complimenting them or describing a problem?

If the CIA had capable, private-sector competitors, they might make a better effort to shine.

I came across this: Something Brewing in Israel at FR earlier today linked from another thread with the same or similar news item that Hot Air is covering above. Make of it what you will. Pray for Israel.

you can now open up of one of the nation’s most influential papers and see one of their regular columnists casually drawing a moral comparison between the sitting Vice President of the United States and the current President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is what the New York Times’ Nick Kristof did this morning:

If only they hated Ahjmadimmerjad as much as they hate Dick Cheney! I think it’s weird they’re comparing the two, I thought they actually liked the iranian president!
