Ahmadinejad said that US President Barack Obama has a limited time to materialize his campaign promise of change.

In response to a question by an Iraqi reporter, he said that unfortunately, American statesmen are seeking to pave the ground for the Baathis to govern Iraq.

Condemning foreign interference in other countries’ affairs, Ahmadinejad noted that they have occupied the Arab state under the grounds to topple the Baathists, but, they now are after returning them to power.

He said that democratic election is the right of the Iraqis, adding that the government and Majlis will approve the elections law and whoever the Iraqis elect, should be accepted by all.

He criticized US President Barack Obama for his failure to shut down Guantanamo Bay detention camp over the past year since taking office despite his campaign promise to do so.

[himno hero]

He is only boasting how he is going to annex Iraq, just not in those words.

Remember that the Baath Party is the same political entity that Saddam Hussein led in Iraq. They draw much of their philosophy from French socialism and further back, the National Socialists of Germany.

[Marty62]

Sadly, probably. It is just a matter of who pushes the button first.

Armaggedon?

Amadjihad is public about his belief that he is suppose to usher in the new reality.

[EGPWS]

A bit of peaceful intent can go a long way in creating destruction.

[Marty62]

A statement most Iraelis understand to clearly.

from Wikipedia The Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party (also spelled Ba'th or Baath which means "resurrection or renaissance"; Arabic: حزب البعث العربي الاشتراكي‎) is a political party in the Arab World advocating the related concepts of Arab nationalism, Pan-Arabism, and Arab socialism. It was founded in Damascus, Syria in 1940 by the Syrian intellectuals Michel Aflaq, and Salah al-Bitar, as a secular Arab nationalist movement opposed to Western imperialism in the Arab World, and seeking to unify all Arab countries in one state. In Arabic, Baʿath means "renaissance" or "resurrection", referring to Aflaq and al-Bitar's vision of "resurrecting" the freedom and glory of the Arab Nation that had been destroyed by Ottoman, and Western imperialism (an idea covered in Michel Aflaq’s published works On the Way of Resurrection). Since its inception, the Ba'ath has functioned as a pan-Arab political party with branches in different Arab countries, but has only ever been in power in Syria and Iraq. The Ba'ath Party came to power in Syria on 8 March 1963 and has held a monopoly on political power since. Ba'athists also seized power in Iraq in 1963, but were later deposed by the Iraqi military. They re-gained power via a coup d'etat in July 1968, and remained the sole party of government until the 2003 Iraq invasion. In 1955 a coup d'état by the military against the historical leadership of Michel Aflaq and Salah Bitar led the Syrian and Iraqi parties to split into rival organizations—the Qotri (or Regionalist) Syria-based party being aligned with the Soviet Union, while the Qawmi (or Nationalist) Iraq-based party adopted a generally more centrist stance.[1] Both Ba'ath parties retained the same name and maintained parallel structures in the Arab World. After the coup, Aflaq fled to Brazil. Inspired by the French Jacobin political doctrine linking national unity and social equity,[2] the motto of the Party is "Unity, Liberty, Socialism" (in Arabic wahda, hurriya, ishtirakiya). Unity refers to Arab unity, liberty emphasizes being free from foreign control and interference, and socialism refers to Arab socialism rather than to European socialism, or communism. Today, the Ba'ath Party continues to govern Syria, however, the Party in Iraq was overthrown by the U.S. led invasion of Iraq in 2003, and subsequently banned by the occupying Coalition Provisional Authority.

For the US to intend to return Iraq to the Baathists, is to undo the Saddam Hussein overthrow in 2003, and return Iraq to a socialist-Islamist coalition government. Would Obama do this? You decide...
