Tehran, Iran, Jul. 17 – Iran’s hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday that Israel should exchange key Hezbollah leaders it has in custody for its army personnel taken hostage by the Lebanese militia fiercely loyal to Tehran.

“This occupying regime (Israel) came into existence in the heart of the Islamic world and the Middle East 60 to 70 years ago with plots and ruses and has no duty other than terror, crimes, aggression, violence, and creating tension. Its mission is to sow discord among countries in the region”, Ahmadinejad said.

He accused the United States of lying that it sought a two state solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

He urged the West to remove the Jewish state from the region. “For certain, you cannot withstand the power of the nations of the region”, he said.

“If you do not contain this criminal regime and end your support for it and give a positive response to the people of the region you will face a dire fate”, he said.

His comments were reported by the state-run news agency ISNA.

It's hell, literally.

Just another great nation deserving our respect, Pat?

I'm certainly not advocating it, but for the sake of interesting discussion, what do you suppose WOULD happen if the U.S. left Israel to its own devices?

Then it would be an evenly matched fight resulting in millions of civilian deaths on both sides and would likely involve nuclear weapons. By simple attrition, Israel would be defeated and Islam would continue its expansion into Africa, Europe, India and the Phillipines.

The simple superiority of the Israeli military prevents a much larger conflict.

I'm getting the impression that this guy is all talk and no action. I think he needs an attitude adjustment. Perhaps a strategically placed MOAB would do the trick.

[Youngman442002]

What is truly scarey is that he is building Nukes...no need for IED or vests after that...he wants to go big time..and of course Russia and China are helping him....

Its going to get really ugly...I see nukes in the future....

[Kolb]

Agreed. Let's get going while we are still next door. How about some tactical strikes on nuclear facilities, government offices and power plants as an appetizer followed by a thorough carpet bombing for the main course? For dessert there is a nice crude oil brulee available...

[lmailbvmbipfwedu]

Nutjob or not, as long as he is talking he is not shooting.
Tis the tirade of a fool, full of fire and fury signifying nothing....

[pissant]

Yes. And the key to that is to kill him and his fellow travelers.

I hate to say this, but it almost seems that we will have to have our noses bloodied once by this nuke-minded idiot so that we can show the Arab Street that we have thousands of nukes.

[pissant]

Thanks, Cal.

[Chances Are]

Ugh!

Thanks for sharing that image with me!

I think I'm gonna upchuck now!

CA....

[pissant]

I'd rather have it say MADE IN THE USA right on the side, in red white and blue.

[pissant]

This little twerp is not even worthy to wipe King Darius' arse for him..

[Chances Are]

Kinda like Saddam's "mother of all battles"

Which quickly became the "Mother of All Surrenders"!

CA....

[50sDad]

Which begs the question, what kind of insane god would store a five year old in a well for 900 years?

I believe the "water well" may be a mis-translation of "firey pit"...

[pissant]

They'd own all of the middle east.

[pissant]

I bet if the two abducted IDF soldiers were heading for Iran, that he ordered them to halt that plan in a hurry.

[mysterio]

And we still have to buy oil from this guy. That's the sad part.

[pissant]

Let's make sure the entire ruling cabal is in session first.

[50sDad]

What is it with despots in the Mid East? Implicit in the "bring back Arab power" is the recognition that they haven't actually contributed anything to the world for a thousand years.
