Ahmadinejad: Israel’s destruction is the solution

While the West dithers and buries its collective head in the sand, Iran is making its intentions clear:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday the solution to the Middle East crisis was to destroy Israel, state-media reported.
In a speech during an emergency meeting of Muslim leaders in Malaysia, Ahmadinejad also called for an immediate cease-fire to end the fighting between Israel and the Iranian-backed group Hizbullah.
During that very same meeting there were calls to investigate Israel for violating international law in Lebanon–a war that Iran started via a proxy army, the entire existence of which is in violation of international law.
“Although the main solution is for the elimination of the Zionist regime, at this stage an immediate cease-fire must be implemented,” Ahmadinejad said, according to state-run television in a report posted on its Web site Thursday.
Well okay big boy, tell your terrorist army to stop launching rockets at Israeli cities and you’ll get that cease-fire.
I just heard Sen. Lindsay Graham on Fox, addressing this issue. He thinks the solution is to slap economic sanctions on Iran. When have sanctions ever worked?
Iran will not care about sanctions. It doesn’t fear the UN, or the Security Council, or even the United States. If it did, it wouldn’t have let Hezbollah start this war. It’s clear to me that Iran unleashed Hezbollah in a bid to test Israel, test the US and the West, and to re-take Lebanon for jihadism. So far, one must conclude that though Israel is fighting the good fight, and it has the backing of the US for now, the rest of the West is failing miserably. All of the calls for a cease-fire and the Western criticism of Israel and its tactics play right into the hands of the very determined and clear-thinking Iranian leaders. They know what they want and what they’re fighting for. Do we?

Nope..unfortunately, no one in positions of power seem to grasp this. It’s unreal that this conflict has worked so well against us. What the hell is it going to take to get the world to understand what we’re up against!?

I’m betting he said this while sober.
Savage on August 3, 2006 at 11:35 AM
Yeah, and just imagine the really crazy stuff this guy says when he’s drunk off his ass.

Has anybody checked to see if this guy isn’t Hitler’s illegitimate child? Did Hitler ever spend any time in the Middle East or Asia?

So far, I haven’t seen emerge an identity opposite to the jihadi. Are there any counter-mujahideen here?

I think the Bush neo-cons know. Who would declare an ‘axis of evil’ unless they believed it, knowing the MSM and the left.
From the time the Axis was declared, the MSM-left has worked overtime to discredit the term. They have created a lexicon that makes it impossible for this Axis to be real.
The left is playing the same old hand because it worked in WWII; nonetheless, the public is giving a lot of license to the administration to continue the military solution. I say that because we haven’t pulled out of Iraq.
The difference between WWII and now, is 911. Weary Brits cheered appeasement because they were ceding other people’s countries (no biggie), and they hadn’t been bombed yet.
People get tired. That is what I fear. If Nazi-rallah or Ahmadkill-a-jew make a bad move our people will be re-energized. Israel is someone else’s country. If they drop even a small bomb here, the US gets stoked.

Yeah, this does sound like “The Final Solution” and I think Hitler is back-in a headscarf like Savage said 5 years ago.
Enough with the kid gloves handling of this situation. Have we learned nothing from the past???

Why can’t anyone see this leader for who he really is?
Psycotte on August 3, 2006 at 1:48 PM
The only time the world will wake up is when it hits the fan, and then it may be too late.
I am feeling a bit fatalistic today. Maybe it is time for the big war. End it all and let the survivors kill each other over who is right.
The way things stand now, 2/3 of the world can go poof (a’la the top ten stories of the UN building) and no one would notice.

Psycotte-He’s a puppet, a mouthpiece for the Mullahs that run Iran. Big or little, when someone’s delusional view of reality bumps up against yours, you have to respond, or you’ve lost.
We had to disabuse Hitler of his delusional belief that there is a superior race-how many millions died through WWII because of that delusion? We cannot simply say to the Muslim: “You have your god, and we have ours.” Because the Muslim is not going to leave it at that. They haven’t so far. There’s a report today out of Iran of a Christian jailed for giving his son a Christian name. The judge in his case says that he will be executed unless he returns to Islam, and rejects Christianity. He will probably die because of Islamic delusions. Stop them now, by any means nessesary.

Here is a scene based on the script of Monty Python’s “Holy Grail” in which the Knights encountered a rabbit with an attitude.
[With apologies to Monty Python, of course.]
* * * * *
THAT’S NO ORDINARY RABBIT
Casting Credits:
Emile, as the Lebanonese Pres.
Mahmoud, as the Iranian Pres.
Nasrallah, as the Hezbollah boss.
Bashar, as the Syrian Pres.
Hizbully, as a Hezbollah fighter.
Larijani, as the Iranian fixer.
Annan, as the tourist.
* * * * *
[In the faint light of early dawn, a small armed band of Islamisters stumble up a windswept hillside.]
EMILE: Behold the Land of The Joooooooos!
MAHMOUD: Right! Keep me covered.
BASHAR: What with?
MAHMOUD: With– just keep me covered.
EMILE: Too late!
[dramatic chord]
MAHMOUD: What?
EMILE: There he is!
[They all turn and see a large white Rabbit lollop a few yards from the edge of a grassy grove. Accompanied by terrifying chord and jarring metallic monster noise.]
MAHMOUD: Where?
EMILE: There!
MAHMOUD: What, behind the rabbit?
EMILE: It is the rabbit!
MAHMOUD: You silly sod!
EMILE: What?
MAHMOUD: You got us all worked up!
EMILE: Well, that’s no ordinary rabbit.
MAHMOUD: Ohhh.
EMILE: That’s the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on.
NASRALLAH: You tit! I soiled my robe I was so scared!
EMILE: Look, that rabbit’s got a vicious streak a mile wide; it’s a killer!
BASHAR: Get stuffed!
EMILE: He’ll do you up a treat mate!
BASHAR: Oh, yeah?
NASRALLAH: You mangy northern git!
EMILE: I’m warning you!
NASRALLAH: What’s he do, nibble your bum?
EMILE: He’s got huge, sharp– eh– he can leap about– look at the bones!
MAHMOUD: Go on, Hizbully. Chop his head off!
HIZBULLY: Right! Silly little bleeder. One rabbit stew comin’ right up! Allah Akbar!
EMILE: Look!
[squeak]
[As Emile points they all spin round to see the Rabbit leap at Hizbully's throat with an appalling scream. From a distance of about twenty feet there is a tin opening noise, a cry from Hizbully.]
HIZBULLY: Aaaugh!
[dramatic chord]
[clunk]
[A quick CLOSE-UP of a savage Rabbit biting through tin and Hizbully's head flies off. The Rabbit leaps back to the edge of a grassy grove and sits there looking in the Islamisters direction and growling menacingly.]
MAHMOUD: #@! *&@#! ^#%!!&
EMILE: I warned you!
NASRALLAH: I done it again!
EMILE: I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn’t you? Oh, it’s just a harmless little bunny, isn’t it? Well, it’s always the same. I always tell them–
MAHMOUD: Oh, shut up!
EMILE: [Quietly] Do they listen to me?
MAHMOUD: Right!
EMILE: Oh, no… It’s always the same … if I’ve said it once …
ISLAMISTERS: Charge! Allah Akbar!
[They all charge with guns drawn down the hillside towards the Rabbit.]
[squeak squeak squeak]
[A tremendous twenty second fight with Peckinpahish shots and borrowing heavily also on the Kung Fu and karate-type films ensues, in which some four Islamisters are comprehensively killed.]
ISLAMISTERS: Aaaaugh!, Aaaugh!, etc.
MAHMOUD: Run away! Run away!
ISLAMISTERS: Run away! Run away!…
[They run back up the hillside and hide, regrouping behind some rocks. Emile, some way away, is pointing at them and laughing derisively.]
EMILE: Ha ha ha ha! Ha haw haw! Ha! Ha ha!
MAHMOUD: Right. How many did we lose?
ANNAN: Adib al-Shishakli was behind those two old martyred women.
BASHAR: And Abdul Rahman deployed amongst that group of martyred schoolchildren.
MAHMOUD: And Hizbully. That’s twenty-five.
BASHAR: Three, sir.
MAHMOUD: Three. Three. And we’d better not risk another frontal assault. That rabbit’s dynamite.
NASRALLAH: Would it help to confuse it if we run away more?
MAHMOUD: Oh, shut up and go and change your burka.
[Nasrallah leaves, walking strangely.]
BASHAR: Let us taunt it! It may become so cross that it will make a mistake.
MAHMOUD: Like what?
BASHAR: Well… ooh.
[Bashar cannot find a suitable answer to this. Much mute embarassment ensues.]
LARIJANI: Have we got more Cumberbund-Bombs?
[The Islamisters look at each other. Each patting his jacket or vest and eyeing the others warily.]
MAHMOUD: No? Anybody? Err, No. [Clears his throat] Right.
[Puzzled silence. Shuffling of feet.]
LARIJANI: We have the Holy Rocket Launcher.
MAHMOUD: Yes, of course! The Holy Rocket Launcher of Bushehr! ‘Tis one of the sacred relics Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, carries with him! Ayatollah Ali Khamenei! Bring up the Holy Rocket Launcher!
BASHAR: Uhm, Mahmoud, is that a laser target thingie on your forehead … ?
MAHMOUD: Runaway! Runa——
* * *
THE NARRATOR interrupts: The Story of the Film So Far …
Osama and Saddam are metropolitan terrorist masterminds with a difference. Osama likes nothing more than slipping into little cocktail frocks, while Zawahri bouffants his hair for a night on duty. Still, as the art immace, no one gives their last names etc. etc. etc.
This they now do.

Come on now! He only means an internal destruction of Israel. Like jihad….

Who else here thinks Ahmadinejad has a poster of Howard Dean tacked to the ceiling above his bed? Show of hands?
