UN Debates Meaning of 'Wipe' Israel from Map
ScrappleFace ^ | 10/27/05 | Scott Ott

Posted on 10/27/2005 6:54:07 AM PDT by pookie18

The United Nations Security Council today took up discussion on what Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad might have meant when he called for Israel to be "wiped out from the map".

Secretary General Kofi Annan said Iran, as a member of the U.N., must be given the benefit of the doubt that the phrase was intended to encourage peaceful diplomacy.

"'Wiped' is a word that can denote cleanliness," said Mr. Annan. "The Iranian president may have simply meant that the map should be cleaned so Israel's legitmate borders are easier to see."

Mr. Ahmadinejad's remarks came during the month-long 'World without Zionism' celebration, and echoed the Ayatollah Khomeini's previous comments about map hygiene.

In related news, the U.S. House today begins debate on creation of a month-long holiday called 'World Without Islamofascism.'

President George Bush said he looks forward to celebrating the new holiday with a ceremonial "wiping of the map."

Except for the last line, if this had been published with the MSM as the source instead of Scrappleface, I would never have know it was satire.

'Wiped' is a word that can denote cleanliness," said Mr. Annan

LOL! I could hear Kofi saying these very words, it's not a stretch at all. Except I would expect him to get significant bribes first before he said it.

"Next time please indicate "satire" in your post."

But that would take away the fun of watching reactionaries make fools of themselves.

This is satire, and VERY close to the truth...sadly this is not:

Iran - Pres. Ahmadinejad says his remarks to "wipe Israel of the map" were "correct and right"
AFP via Babelfish translation | October 28, 2005

Posted on 10/28/2005 5:52:32 AM EDT by HAL9000

The Iranian president maintains his remarks on Israel TEHERAN - the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, maintained Friday his remarks inviting "to strip Israel off the chart" and challenged the wave of indignation which they caused in Occident (sic), affirming that its declarations were "correct and right".

"They are free of speaking but their words do not have any validity. It is obvious that if a word is correct and right it will cause a reaction ", said president Ahmadinejad, quoted by the official agency Irna.

"My words are the exact words of the Iranian people", it affirmed.

Irna indicated that Mr. Ahmadinejad then criticized "the international Zionism and the expansionist policy of the world arrogance", terms which indicate usually the United States and Israel.

"They are shameless beings, and they think that the whole world should obey to them", said the Iranian president. "They destroy Palestinian families and expect that nobody opposes them".

Seems he wants to be the new Saddam in the ME. Thinks he can be provocative. That's not how it works. He will get what's coming to him but not until it suits us.

When it is not funny, "satire" would at least tell the reader that it is supposed to be a joke.
