WikiLeaks: Ayatollah Khameni has terminal cancer

Iran's Supreme Leader has terminal cancer and could die within months US officials were told by a well-placed Iranian informant, diplomatic cables show.

Ayatollah Khamenei, the chief religious leader of Iran, who holds the final word in state affairs is a hardliner well-known to be hostile to America. Details of the health and lifestyle of the 71-year old are shrouded in secrecy.

Any credible information that he was dying would fundamentally change the diplomatic stakes in negotiations between Tehran and its Western adversaries.

The US consulate in Istanbul reported in August, 2009 that a businessman close to Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani, a former Iranian president, that the Supreme Leader had been diagnosed with a fatal form of Leukaemia. The source said Ayatollah Rafsanjani believed his great rival would be dead in a "matter of months".

Pity. Such a gentle, considerate man. May the God of Israel deal with him with perfect fairness in the judgment.

Pinning down an exact date for terminal illnesses is not an exact science.

My father’s friend had a terminal cancer and doctors said he had 6 months to live. He ended up living 5 years.

A Brief Wish for The Ayatolla

Dear Ayatolla,

I hope you experience a rapid and permanent release from the pain you are surely suffering,

only to wake up to an eternity of 1000 times the agony you have brought others.

Good riddance, baby rapist, and may your last moments be truly and indescribably agonizing,

and all the moments after that, even worse.

Sincerely,

The Comedian (and a bunch more of us too)


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I am I the only one who thinks that there is a deliberate release of information (mind you, this information has been circulating around for months) And it is just now public!?

Give me a break...

EVERYONE has had ample amount of time to get their stories straight and to cover their new best friend’s back. If you come out looking bad, you are not a part of the new society. If you cover yourself, you are golden!
