Ping?
Maybe they're finally getting tired of Abby Dinnerjacket's antics?

Yes. Sorta. Perhaps Iran's band of Saruman lookalikes don't like all the publicity that Mahmoud has been hard at work drumming up for them. Who knows? Maybe Howard Dean will defeat Mahmoud in a landslide 18 months from now.

Dont forget he can still run for re-election.

This could also lead to a purge in Iranian politics due to a "Zionist plot that wants to overthrow the ruling party." Just a thought

An interesting development? Could be, yes.

Nothing good happens in Iran as long as the ayatollahs rule.
To: BigFinn
Not so sure. Ahmadinejad's power base is Tehran (he used to be the mayor) and he has heavy connections in Qom. Quite often this sort of move is actually in favor of the incumbent in that it gives his opposition less time to mobilize.
That's not to say the mullahs haven't appreciated that he's a very dangerous man, a two edged sword that is cutting them as well as the West. Had he kept his mouth shut they'd be marching forward with their nuclear weapons programs with the West's help, and I mean that literally. His sort of populist brinksmanship has torn the mask off prematurely and has Iran in a much poorer position diplomatically than it was before he started his "death to Israel" act. How nuts do you have to be to start worrying even the Russians?
It will be interesting to see who opposes him in the formal election. The vote itself is mostly a charade. The issue will have been decided by then.

If the ruling clergy in Iran is serious about building nuclear weapons and attacking Israel or dominating the Middle East they need to stop telegraphing their punches through Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's rhetoric. They may be planning on showing a more benign face until Iran becomes a genuine nuclear power. Ahmadinejad's rantings give Israel and the U.S. the justification for a first strike. They may have decided to put him on the bench for a while.

Well, surprise, surprise!
Keep praying folks for the meltdown of Iran. If they are fighting within, they can't be fighting out. Admadinejad is just a figurehead anyway. The real power rests with the Ayatollahs. Funny how they elect a guy to be Supreme Leader and then watch his every move. Not much trust there. Maybe this is a great time for an uprising by the pro-Democracy people. Take a few Ayatollahs to the soccer stadium along with their puppet.
Wonder what Admadinejad will put on his application at the unemployment department? Or what his next post will be?

The mullahs couldn't cut him any shorter so they cut his term.
Yeah...that makes sense...in bizarro land.

I am sure any future elections will be as transparent, with as much uncensored robust debate, as Venezuela's.

Interesting timing - perhaps some of Iran's Muslim neighbors had a chat
