IRAN'S hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today brushed off a decision by the International Atomic Energy Agency to report his country to the UN Security Council as "funny" and labelled his country's enemies as "idiots".
"You can pass as many resolutions as you like and be happy about it, but you cannot stop the progress of the Iranian people... We thank God that our enemies are idiots," he was quoted as saying by Iranian news agencies.
The IAEA voted yesterday to report Iran to the UN Security Council amid fears the country is seeking nuclear weapons. Iran argues it only wants to generate electricity and has accused the West of trying to intimidate it.
"We don't need you. It is you who need the Iranian people. This is the funniest decision I've seen," said the austere president.
"They are angry at the Islamic Republic, because the Iranian people have reached the summit of science and technology."
And in a direct challenge to the West, he said: "You know you cannot do anything, because the era of domination and repression is over and we are no longer in the Middle Ages."
Iran has retaliated against the resolution, with Ahmadinejad ordering an end to snap IAEA inspections as well as the resumption of sensitive fuel cycle work.
Think he has a little man complex or something?
Loose cannons sink all ships..
How can an "austere" president laugh anything off?
Time for a hit. This is hitler with a headscarf, and an advanced case of rabies.
He's probably met Jimmah Carter.
He certainnly gets it....
"You can pass as many resolutions as you like and be happy about it, but you cannot stop the progress of the Iranian people... We thank God that our enemies are idiots," he was quoted as saying by Iranian news agencies.
>Folks, we've got a full-blown lunatic on our hands here...
Actually this is hilarious, because when talking about the UN he is one hundred percent correct.
One of his more lucid moments I guess!
I'd laugh at the U.N., too, if it weren't so pathetic...
They're still working on their Seismology, though....
You’ve managed to work your way backwards.

"Austere" doesn't seem like it involves laughter.
Delusions-- all fun and games until somebody splits the wrong atom...
We sure do! I'm praying that there are enough Iranians who are intelligent enough and brave enough to do something about this madman. If they don't, they will all be paying a heavy price for their inaction.
We just don't like it because: "The Iranian people have reached the summit of science and technology"
Maybe he'd kill himself if someone told him that: Robert Oppenheimer was a jew, Albert Einstein was a jew, and the Iranian people have had to stand on the shoulders of Jews to even get a glimpse of the summit.
He certainnly gets it....
You're correct here - He completely understands what a joke the U.N. has become.
You add him to the idiots that are burning down Danish embassys because of a cartoon published 6 months ago...
and I would say that we have a HUGH problem..but the dems don't seem to realize that...which makes it more of a problem.
I heard Rangel on Fox today say that Bush has made things WORSE where Iran is concerned because he won't take military action off the table...SEE????
Otherwise known as "Short-crotch syndrome". ;)
