TEHRAN, Iran - The president of Iran again lashed out at Israel on Friday and said it was "heading toward annihilation," just days after Tehran raised fears about its nuclear activities by saying it successfully enriched uranium for the first time.

"Any time the West/Israel/the US back down or make conciliatory moves/statements in the face of Arab bad behavior, it encourages worse behavior."

I wonder sometimes if you should have to have an "A" in introductory psychology to serve in government - at least so you would understand that if you reward a behavior you get more of it, not less.

You mean, with a star of David written on the side?

A friend remarked yesterday "what in the hell did Israel ever do to Iran to deserve this?"

I said "what did we do to Afghanistan to deserve 9/11?"

I'm trying to figure out what his motivation is for making these comments. Israel has a 30 year nuclear advantage on Iran and 100 or so nukes on standby.

He must want the Israelies to bomb the crap out of their new nuclear reactor. The Israelies have a history of doing just that. He must know Israel's military history. I have to believe that is exactly what he wants the Israelies to do.

[Ptarmigan]

Not a bad idea.

Palestinians are pawns. Iranians do not really like Palestinians let alone Arabs.

I am starting to fear that Iran is developing a nuclear weapon specifically for use against Israel. Contextually, that's how I would interpret these comments.



This is a dangerous Man. whenever someone like this starts
spewing this vile Hate at israel...watch out! They are planning an Attack.

The Jews had better be ready and retaliate with terrible Force. It is the only thing the Muslim Extreamists understand. Brute Force! No Mercy.. just Crush them.

Hit the Millitary and the leadership..and The Atomic weapons Factorys. Then Continue building the Fence.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you would willingly give up his/her life to kill this guy? If you knew that you would die, but also knew that he would die, too, would it be worth it to you? As a Christian, I know that murder is wrong, but this doesn't qualify as murder, in my opinion. Not all killing is murder, after all. It would be justice and the prevention of evil on a scale unseen in human history. He's going to do it if he gets the chance and SOMEONE somewhere has to step up and stop it.

Killing that lunatic won't stop anything. He was installed through a rigged election by the mullahs who really call the shots in Iran. He's spouting off because that's what they want. You want to change the way things are over there? Take out the mullahs. The overall population is restless and tired of the strict religious rule. They actually protested after whatever his name was installed as President. I have a feeling that is the solution Israel will come to.

The only ones "heading toward annihilation," are the those with jihadmania in Tehran, Damascus and Hamas infested Gaza.

[rahbert]

Thank God that its President Bush and not President Kerry.

[Catholic Canadian]

I think President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has a secret crush on Noam Chomsky and is just doing this to try and impress him.

[Colorado Doug]

I can't help but wonder if China is somehow involved in all of this.

[Thunder90]

Can we please kick this man's butt already???

[Colorado Doug]

"Look how the Zionist entity attacks peace-loving Islamic nations!" they will cry if attacked.

Maybe Israel needs to get some commandos inside Iran to launch a couple of missiles at Israel first . . and shoot them out of the sky, of course.

[Kenny Bunkport]

Michael Ledeen has been saying for years that that's Iran's motive.

[Kenny Bunkport]

Not "why," but "when" -- that's the question.

[Kenny Bunkport]

When the Israeli military Chief of Staff was recently asked how far Israel might go to stop the Iranians, he said, "About 3000 kilometers."

[flying Elvis]

He doesn't care about Palestine; he cares about fulfilling an apocalyptic vision of a war between civilizations. While nuking Israel will certify his destruction while the rest of Islam watches, those people over there are just nutty enough to nuke Mecca and blame it on us, in which case, his apocalyptic vision may come true. Never underestimate the ignorance that is the "Arab street".

Someone is heading for a bad end, I think this guy is searching for his 72 virgins.....

Their "heaven" must be a really big place. I cannot mathematically compute how such a high ratio of virgins 72-1 makes it to their "heaven".
