Ahmadinejad: Israel 'Nothing More Than a Mosquito'

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad compared Israel to an annoying insect Saturday, maintaining that the Jewish state poses no threat to Tehran’s nuclear program.

"Israel is nothing more than a mosquito which cannot see the broad horizon of the Iranian nation," he said in northeastern Iran's Khorassan province, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.

Ahmadinejad said "regional states" were being duped into buying billions of dollars worth of arms from "arrogant and imperial powers," driven, in part, by increasing speculation of an imminent war involving Iran and Israel, the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported.

Such military purchases, he said, are unnecessary because there is no such war on the horizon.

The Iranian president alluded to "rulers" who sold "their petrol" for $60 billion worth in arms. While he did not explicitly mention the names of countries, Saudi Arabia is in the midst of a 20-year, $60 billion arms deal with the United States, including nearly $30 billion for F-15 fighter jets announced late last year.

Ahmadinejad also maintained that war is not essential to achieve the “destruction of Israel,” IRNA reported. “If countries of the region cut ties with the Zionists and giver them dirty looks, it will spell the end of this puppet regime,” he said.

Ahmadinejad has long denied the Holocaust and has threatened to obliterate the Jewish state, calling it a “cancerous tumor.”

Only a few months after taking office in October 2005, the Iranian President asserted that, "With the force of God behind it, we shall soon experience a world without the United States and Zionism," according to an IRNA report.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Oooh. Sorry. Is he done threatening us?

[Olog-hai]

Mosquito bites can kill.

If you take the land-size of Israel and juxtapose it onto the middle east, it (they) may seem small. Multiple wars of aggression from their neighbors after the UN mandated creation of Israel have proven otherwise.

That’s all the little lemur can do..

Joel 3:2
I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.

Jug queers is on the wrong side of judgement again.

A Mosquito with GOD on its side.
That makes the Mosquito a B2.

Wow, surprised most folks on here have missed the point: Ahmadinejad just blinked. He's watching the arms build up happening around him and isn't liking what he's seeing. This is the first time Ahmadinejad is saying he has no plans for war, and has backed down on his threatening of Israel.

Calling them a "mosquito bite" is a dramatic change from "driving them into the sea" calling for their complete annihilation.

I wonder if the talking head's this Sunday morning are going to pick up on this. Better yet, wonder if oil markets are paying attention to this dramatic shift in rhetoric and the complete toning down of war mongering comint from Ahmadinejad.

A Mosquito with GOD on its side. That makes the Mosquito a B2.

THAT makes it a Minnesoooota dive bomber!!

How did it get all the way over there?

[exit82]

Yeah.

Said the same thing about Gideon and his gang of 300.

Dinner Jacket will be the next in a long line to find out that God doesn’t suffer haters of the Jewish people, the apple of His eye.

[libstripper]

Or a mosquito loaded with yellow fever and malaria, two of the most lethal diseases known to the human race.

[trebb]

Mosquito bites can kill.

Yep - ne headline, "Mosquito Swats Man"

[Eleutheria5]

Pay it no mind. They’re toning down their rhetoric for the moment, and they can stoke it back up again tomorrow. This is the old Byzantine game of “that was then; this is now.”

[chainsaw]

“Israel is nothing more than a mosquito...”

Ahmadinejad needs to have a little talk with the Egyptians.

[SERE_DOC]

I would respectfully submit if Israel is akin to a mosquito then Resident of Iran and moron extraordinaire "Imadinnerjacket" or how ever you say it, and his band of inbred swine are like.....

Yes

Dung Beetle's

only not as loveable.

[justa-hairyape]

This is in response to the recent move of political unity in Israel. Last time that happened, the neighborhood was rocked.

[MasterGunner01]

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the mullahs are soon going to experience magic mushrooms growing over Tehran for several milliseconds before they're vaporized at 5,000 degrees F.
