President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has sought to justify his confidence the United States will not attack Iran, saying the proof comes from his mathematical skills as an engineer and faith in God, the press reported on Monday. Ahmadinejad told academics in a speech that elements inside Iran were pressing for compromise in the nuclear standoff with the West over fears the United States could launch a military strike.
"In some discussions I told them 'I am an engineer and I am examining the issue. They do not dare wage war against us and I base this on a double proof'," he said in the speech on Sunday, reported by the reformist Etemad Melli and Kargozaran newspapers.
"I tell them: 'I am an engineer and I am a master in calculation and tabulation.
"I draw up tables. For hours, I write out different hypotheses. I reject, I reason. I reason with planning and I make a conclusion. They cannot make problems for Iran.'"
Ahmadinejad has long expressed pride in his academic prowess. He holds a PhD on transport engineering and planning from Tehran's Science and Technology University and is the author several of scientific papers.
The deeply religious president said his second reason was: "I believe in what God says."
"God says that those who walk in the path of righteousness will be victorious. What reason can you have for believing God will not keep this promise."
Washington has never ruled out taking military action against Tehran, and its tone has sharpened again over the past week with President George W. Bush warning that Iran's nuclear programme could lead to a "nuclear holocaust."
Ahmadinejad said that "God willing" one day he would write his memoirs to put the record straight.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has already warned that Iran risks being bombed if the nuclear crisis is not resolved. Ahmadinejad last week brushed off the comments which he said were due to his French counterpart's inexperience.
Yawn........
Yawn...
What about France?
The attacks on Iran have already begun, and Ahmanutjob hasn't even begun to realize it , yet.
Dubyah was in Iraq today, Iranian diplomats are under survellance in Iraq, and arrested for questioning at the whim of US forces who have interdicted Iranians arranging for weapons supply to the Mookie factions.
Iranian ordnance bound for Iraq is being intercepted, and accidents are happening on the Iran side of the Iraqi border, instigated by well informed Kurds.
NO Ahmanutjob will wake up one morning to see its all over for him and his mullah 12thers, and he will indeed be surprised.
Meanwhile let him rave on.
Well Hackmaloogiefurbrains, I'm glad you axed!!!
Your gawd is satan. He LIES!
Naught, plus naught....
Equals naught...
Everything looks better on paper.
His tacticians must have to find a secret, dark hideout where they can roll their eyes whenever he applies his engineering degree to possible military scenarios.
An Iranian version of "geometric logic" perhaps. Good luck finding the strawberries, Gilligan!
I once however saw a demonstration well over 10 years ago of a 3d technology that would work on any video monitor and there were no 3d glasses required. They were somehow 'tricking' the brain into seeing real 3d images on a normal video monitor. It took a few seconds, but eventually some of us saw the 3d images. My guess is that the technology had problems with long term affects on the viewing public.
