Ahmadinejad: Muslims to soon uproot “Satanic powers” and eliminate — guess who?

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad continues his own “preparations” for a meeting with President Barack Obama by reminding the world what he wants. The Iranian news agency Mehr reports that Ahmadinejad promised that Muslims will soon uproot “satanic powers”, and that the mission will spell an end to the United States and Israel. Does this qualify as the “common interests” that Obama sees between Iran and the United States?
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted on Monday that Muslims would uproot “satanic powers” and repeated his controversial belief that Israel will soon disappear, the Mehr news agency reported.
“I must announce that the Zionist regime (Israel), with a 60-year record of genocide, plunder, invasion and betrayal is about to die and will soon be erased from the geographical scene,” he said.
“Today, the time for the fall of the satanic power of the United States has come and the countdown to the annihilation of the emperor of power and wealth has started.”
Oh, and as for that mutually-assured destruction doctrine on which Obama will rely to contain Iran? He will find the mullahs mad for MAD:
Ahmadinejad also again expressed his apocalyptic vision that tyranny in the world be abolished by the return to earth of the Mahdi, the 12th imam of Shiite Islam, alongside great religious figures including Jesus Christ.
“With the appearance of the promised saviour… and his companions such as Jesus Christ, tyranny will be soon be eradicated in the world.”
It sounds like the League of Super Best Friends. It’s only missing Joseph Smith, Krishna, Shiva, and Moses:
So what preparations does Obama plan to make to find common ground with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? Trading Israel as a means of appeasement?

Just in time for that Gallup poll.
danking70 on June 2, 2008 at 1:25 PM
Just let Barack Hussein Obama meet with him and he will stop all this nonsense!
HotJavaJack on June 2, 2008 at 1:26 PM
Maybe if we just have an orderly pullout from Iraq he’ll be nice to us.
JammieWearingFool on June 2, 2008 at 1:29 PM
Iran will respect Obama’s middle name so much that they will forget any differences they have with America and plant trees together in Jerusalem.
Grafted on June 2, 2008 at 1:29 PM
Maybe Mrs. Ahmadinejad hates whitey too.
fogw on June 2, 2008 at 1:30 PM
By “soon” does he mean January of 2009?
Hoping against hope that the messiah that promises “hope & change” will be at the helm come January.
Anybody else wonder where that 50 million a month is coming from?
Keemo on June 2, 2008 at 1:30 PM
oh well, Iran is just a tiny country. There’s no threat here folks. Move along. …Oh, well, tiny compared to the former Soviet Union. …Oh well, nuclear threats should be dealt with over tea and cookies. …Oh what was that? Oh, thank you sir veteran for that lapel pin!

The 67 borders, to Barak and the Kossacks, are the Ruby Slippers. Fools.

Mahmoud, I am warnin’ ya’, keep it up and we’re going to send President Obama there to talk with you.

“Trading Israel as a means of appeasement?”
Exactaumundo.
Of course, a slight problem for the Obama Administration in trying to execute Munich II is that Czechoslovakia didn’t have nukes, but Israel does. (You’d think that Israel had learned from history or something…)
Realist on June 2, 2008 at 1:33 PM
Israel?!?!?!?!? I’ll be jiggered!
My guess was that he was talking about the Lakers!
Chuck Schick on June 2, 2008 at 1:33 PM
Barack to Mahmoud: “Here’s my final offer–you can blow up half of Israel and ten of the United States, which I get to pick. Oh, and I’ll throw in the Virgin Islands, too. Deal?”
jackmac on June 2, 2008 at 1:35 PM
Oh come on now! The Iranian President said no such thing. This is clearly a mistranslation.

And Barry will respond, “Ten states, that’s fine we’ll still have 47 left.”
Chuck Schick on June 2, 2008 at 1:37 PM
Ed, PLEASE keep using that headline picture of that idiot! It looks sooo cartoonish! The background looks like he was just whacked over the head with an anvil. Very befitting. he-he-he
kcd on June 2, 2008 at 1:39 PM
Hey Mahmoud – how long has it been since a war between muslims and the west has turned out to your liking? About 500 years or so?
Obama doesn’t know his history. Mahmoud doesn’t, either. They’re meant for each other.
innominatus on June 2, 2008 at 1:39 PM
Pelosi credits Ahmadinejad’s Iran for Iraq surge success. Good timing IranNan.

Personally, I prefer this Ahmadinnerjacket picture.

innominatus on June 2, 2008 at 1:39 PM
Good point. How long did Iran wage war with Iraq without claiming victory? On the other hand. How long did it take the American military (along with our british buddies) to overthrow Iraq & Saddam. How long did it take Russia to win it’s war with Afghanistan (it didn’t)? On the other hand. How long did it take the American military to overthrow Afghanistan & the Taliban?
The American military is the greatest military force ever created on the face of the earth, in spite of Democrats & Liberals!
Keemo on June 2, 2008 at 1:50 PM
Actually, I expect the meeting to take place on Feb 24, 2009 in the Chocolate City of New Orleans where the Obamahdi and Achmedinajad can commiserate about that awful Boooosh and celebrate- wait for it…
Mahdi Gras!!
trubble on June 2, 2008 at 1:51 PM
While the State Department continues to parse, Iran continues to pursue her stated goals of destroying Israel and American civilization.
State and the CIA need a rectal-cranial inversion.

One SSGN carries 154 Tomahawks. Time for some scalping.

Are any Christians thinking what I’m thinking? Never mind.
coffee260 on June 2, 2008 at 1:59 PM
Some of us non-Christians aren’t thinking about it, either.
RushBaby on June 2, 2008 at 2:07 PM
If Obama hates America half as much as his buddy preachers and wife Michelle, we’re in a load of trouble re: Iran : (
“Go ahead and take out all the red states, we won’t retaliate.”
gmoonster on June 2, 2008 at 2:13 PM
You don’t think that Obama will throw Israel under the bus if he is elected? Even the Israels think so and are preparing for that eventuality.
docdave on June 2, 2008 at 2:18 PM
“Go ahead and take out all the red states, we won’t retaliate.”
Ya know, those states where the people cling to their guns and their religion. In fact, could you start with West Virginia and maybe work your way round through the south on your way over to that dang Texas.
Keemo on June 2, 2008 at 2:21 PM
It’s crossed my mind. And won’t he be surprised?
But he’s really just another in a long line of nut cases screaming that the end is near. Call me a cynic, but I spent too many days as a kid crouched under my school desk waiting for the Russian bombs to drop to get riled over this nitwit.
Rod on June 2, 2008 at 2:23 PM
As another another Texan once said ‘Bring It On’!!
docdave on June 2, 2008 at 2:26 PM
What do you expect from religious zealots like the Iranian mullahs? A policy of MAD does not frighten them. Death for them means going off to their conception of the Muslim after life.
Wildcatter1980 on June 2, 2008 at 2:26 PM
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! LMAO!!! Yes, that one is much better! I wish it was a law that any media photos of him, had to be that one!

docdave on June 2, 2008 at 2:26 PM
Right on docdave! Same applies to us Montanans; got plenty of heat in the cabinet if those critters decide to enter through our state… In fact, I saw a few of those critters at an Obama rally in Bozeman a few weeks back. They didn’t look real comfortable!
Keemo on June 2, 2008 at 2:31 PM
I do hope you all here are listening to Rush today. Boy, he is telling who and what bho is and it should scare the day lights out of the voting public. Rush is not painting a pretty picture of bho election and what bho has in store for our country. Actually, it is what most here know about bho, wifeeee, and the ‘church’.
L
letget on June 2, 2008 at 2:34 PM
I have Rush streaming on my computer as I write this. I agree, Rush is bringing it today like only Rush can do. It’s no wonder why the left hates this guy so deeply; Rush knows these people inside-out and constantly predicts their actions days ahead of their actions. It’s a riot!
Keemo on June 2, 2008 at 2:42 PM
The suspense is killing me.
I wish I’m a dinner jacket would get on with it. Let’s see what you got there big guy.
patrick neid on June 2, 2008 at 2:42 PM
Rush has been “right on, right on”, sooo many times. No wonder he is called the Maharushie!
kcd on June 2, 2008 at 2:46 PM
It’s becoming more of a case of who WON’T Obama throw under the nearest bus. You, me, and the entire USA are on the list, don’t doubt it for a minute.
bbz123 on June 2, 2008 at 2:47 PM
HAHAHAHA! I can’t help but picture one of those guns on the cartoon that has the little flag that pops out & reads “BANG!”.
kcd on June 2, 2008 at 2:48 PM
Notice how this thread is void of our lefty commenters? Touched on a real problem for the lefties with this post Ed. Obama is their candidate, as Hillary has announced a major speech in NY for tomorrow. Obama is so far out of the mainstream with regards to foreign policy and basic economics, there is no defense for the indefensible. The guy is nothing other than a bag of empty bullshit.
Keemo on June 2, 2008 at 2:54 PM
More “goodwill” from Iran, I suppose.
Nancy Pelosi, you’re an abject fool.
Cicero43 on June 2, 2008 at 2:55 PM
no cause I’ve read the ‘back of the book’
get ready for the Ezekial option
right4life on June 2, 2008 at 2:59 PM
I can’t help but to wonder what the Iranian people think of this guy, as they are at risk big time. Eventually, Israel must send it’s arsenal into Iran for the sake of it’s own survival. Even if an Obama lead America stands by and does nothing, Israel must eventually take action or perish. To perish in not in the historical make-up of Jews. Iranian civilians will surely be in harms way.
Keemo on June 2, 2008 at 3:02 PM
and Rod, you are now 50 years closer to that eventuality. You shouldn’t be impatient for such occurrences.
leftnomore on June 2, 2008 at 3:05 PM
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad:
I wish that more than just pigeon droppings fall on your head.

Ahmadinejad: Muslims to soon uproot “Satanic powers” and eliminate — guess who?
Dammit! I guessed Borneo. I need to bone up some on my current events.
Tantor on June 2, 2008 at 3:24 PM
So is Ahmadinejad joining these folks in counting down the days to Bush’s last day? Does he think a fellow Muslim will take office that day?
I think “the satanic power” is evident in Ahmadinejad and the people who agree with him. I think Ahmadinejad is 100% wrong.
Make no doubt about it. This is spiritual warfare.
I believe Mike Huckabee will be sworn in as President of the United States on Bush’s last day.
Red Pill on June 2, 2008 at 3:26 PM
When Iran nukes Israel we can have a debate whether it was irhab or not.
Beagle on June 2, 2008 at 3:29 PM
You’re right: I’m not impatient.
Rod on June 2, 2008 at 3:30 PM
Priceless.
Red Pill on June 2, 2008 at 3:33 PM
That reminds me of Sadam saying that he would destroy the U.S. military if we invaded Iraq…rhetoric from a pissant.
orlandocajun on June 2, 2008 at 3:34 PM
Well said.
The Vietnam War wasn’t lost by our military in Vietnam, it was lost by bureaucrats (some of them Communist traitors) in Washington, D.C.
It was lost with the “help” of people like John Kerry.
Red Pill on June 2, 2008 at 3:37 PM
“Does this qualify as the “common interests” that Obama sees between Iran and the United States?” Apparently so. The lefties have a common enemy with Amadoginjihad: themselves.
I wonder what method Mahmoud has in mind to put an end to the US; the operatives are already in place, the FBI knows where they are and how many suitcase bombs they have but since our gov’t has no will to do it’s job, (protect us and our rights as Americans), they won’t have to set off (m)any bombs.
Christine on June 2, 2008 at 3:38 PM
Spiny Norman made my day.
Maybe Obama would have Mahmoud sit on his lap when they ‘negotiate’.
Christine on June 2, 2008 at 3:41 PM
It ain’t just who Obama would throw under the bus, it’s what Obama would throw under the bus…
the Constitution of the United States of America.
Red Pill on June 2, 2008 at 3:42 PM
Why don’t we just nuke the bastards and get it over with?
GarandFan on June 2, 2008 at 4:01 PM
That is not going to happen. The GOP won’t vote for him, even if your miracle somehow happens. And the Independents and Centrist Democrats won’t vote for him. And the libs most certainly won’t vote for him.
The Huckster doesn’t have a chance in any scenario at all.
Get over it.

RMC1618 on June 2, 2008 at 7:17 PM
Nope. The Super Best Friends episode adheres to, quite by accident, the Islamic concept of Jesus and other religions. Mohammed is portrayed in a good light and has special warrior powers. So all good.
aengus on June 2, 2008 at 7:34 PM
Calm down everyone. Ahmadinejad is only saying those things because he hasn’t met with Barry yet.
misterpeasea on June 2, 2008 at 8:02 PM
Obama has trouble with the uses of the word COMMON. He can’t identify with the COMMON man. He can find COMMON interests when they don’t exist. He is not a COMMON stripped skunk. He is an unCOMMON elitist spotted skunk.
burt on June 2, 2008 at 9:33 PM
That speech was for domestic use only. He’s losing support, and is trying to get it back.
OldEnglish on June 2, 2008 at 9:40 PM
Muslims believe that Jesus will return around the time of the arising of Islam’s end-times deliverer, the Mahdi, and that Jesus will defer to and serve the Mahdi.
For more details on the Mahdi and Islam’s expectations for the end of the age, see Joel Richardson’s Antichrist: Islam’s Awaited Messiah.
