.israelnationalnews ^ | February 28, '10 | by Hana Levi Julian

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is reportedly angling to start another war between Israel and the Lebanese Hizbullah terrorist group in order to deflect attention away from his own lack of popularity at home. Ahmadinejad has faced constant friction from grassroots opposition movements since last June, when lopsided election results re-electing the president raised red flags among suspicious voters, who suspected the government had rigged the polls.

I read some where that two of the suspects from the Dubai assassination left by boat to Iran. Does anyone know if that is true?

A large scale conflict would (supposedly) galvanize the population to support a foundering regime.

Interesting how that applies to both Iran and the US.

Ahmadinejad is under extreme pressure from the Majlis (Parliament) see for instance these article from Khabar Online (which is close to Speaker Ali Larijani)

Thursday: Ahmadinejad’s budget plan unrealistic: lawmaker http://www.khabaronline.ir/news-45761.aspx

They have escalated (from Saturday) Government’s claim on subsidy plan ridiculous: MP http://www.khabaronline.ir/news-46018.aspx

http://www.khabaronline.ir/news-46018.aspx

Here is a suggestion for the next cocktail party: learn the names and affiliations of these persons:

The grand ayatollahs of Iran seem to have united in criticism of the Supreme Leader.

As someone correctly said on PBS site, apart from one or two such as “Boroujerdi”, the choice between the rest of these Ayatollahs is not about “Good vs Evil” - It is about the lesser evil.

Cocktail party sounds exciting! Maybe a good opportunity for the ayatollahs to name their “poison”. Many “Shi’ite Imams” were actually poisoned, these Ayatollahs will be very familiar w/that style of “Martyrdom” ;-)
