Iran to "break the leg" of enemies: Ahmadinejad
al Reuters ^ | May 4, 2007

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Having repeatedly vowed to "cut off the hand" of any attacker, Iran's president shifted to the leg on Friday to underline his determination to resist Western pressure over its nuclear program.

"You, the enemies of the Iranian nation, know that this nation will break the leg of anyone who wants to violate its rights," President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a rally in the southeastern province of Kerman.

"We will not be harmed by your opposition and it will be you who ... will be harmed," Ahmadinejad, known for his fiery anti-Western speeches, said according to the official IRNA news agency.

He was speaking in Farsi which unlike English does not use the phrase "break a leg" idiomatically to wish someone freedom from harm.

Iran is embroiled in a deepening stand-off with the West over its nuclear ambitions. Major powers fear it is seeking to develop atomic weapons but Tehran says it wants only to generate electricity so that it can export more of its oil and gas.

The United States says it would prefer a diplomatic solution to the crisis but has not ruled out military action if that fails. Iran has threatened U.S. regional interests if attacked.

Why is it that every statement that comes from this third world cesspool always wrapped in violence and death? And why are there some who still can’t see these people as a credible threat?

"We will not be harmed by your opposition and it will be you who ... will be harmed,"

Translation: "I know you are, but what am I"

We need to surgically take this guy out. Come-on... how hard can it be? A predator with a hellfire missile should do the trick nicely.

Catch him on a highway away from town and BLOOIE!!!

And when confronted by the Iranians after-wards, admit it cheerfully. “Yeah we took him out. Not just because he was a fanatical a$$hole, but because we were tired of listening to his crap.”

This sawed off little runt suffers from little man syndrome. He’s always talking tough to draw attention away from his many shortcomings.
