Ahmadinejad
Yesterday I reported that Iran's foreign minister said Israel must be "erased."
There are those who criticized me for bringing this up. They say I'm an alarmist. That Iran's leaders keep getting quoted out-of-context. Or their comments are mistranslated.
But this happens over and over and over and over again. If that's the reaction to their statements, then they must be getting frustrated that they aren't getting their message out.
Perhaps that's why, just one day later, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has come up with a variation of his original public statement about Israel's demise (that Israel would be wiped off the map), telling a group of foreign guests that Israel will soon "disappear off the geographical scene."
Remember this. Iran claims it has the capability to reach Israel with ballistic missiles. And the International Atomic Energy Agency says in a technical report that Iran has obtained the plans to turn its nuclear energy into a nuclear weapons program.
The evidence is mounting. Iran's openly admits that it wants to destroy Israel. That's enough for even Tehran's apologists to start acknowledging the grim reality and stop making excuses. The Iranian government is speaking for itself. It's time to take heed.

Ahmedinejad obviously didn't want to be upstaged!
Not only did he theaten Israel with 'geogaphical destruction' he also talked about the disappearance of the 'satanic power' of the US - he said: "The bell on the countdown of the destruction of the empire of power and wealth has begun to ring."
Methinks the poison dwarf may have bitten off more than he can chew this time. Personally I feel it is a grave mistake for him to push America even closer to Israel!
On another note it was interesting to note that he and Robert Mugabe were the only ones who were not invited to the official dinner at the UN conference on the world's food situation that is currently taking place in Italy!
The Israel (Jew) haters will say that you are inflaming the passions of hatred by accurately quoting the words of Iranian president Ahmadinejad. While people in the middle east are well known to speak in hyperbole, there is a time when what they say must be taken seriously. This is the time. Does this mean diplomacy must stop? No. Until the first missle is released to inflict its damage there is always time and opportunity for talking.
The Israel (Jew) haters will say that Israel is at fault in this situation. I defy them to prove the last time Israel attacked Iran! Let me see, that would be never. Has Israel made threatening statements? Only in response to those issued by Iran.
Some have said that Iran hasn't attacked another nation in 150 years, while Israel has been embroiled in war. In the first place, for a war to take place there has to be an enemy. Only the insane would believe that Israel would take on Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq et al, for reasons other than self defense.
In the second place, Iran broke international law and took over the American Embassy on Nov. 4, 1979. A foreign embassy is considered the soil of the country the embassy represents. Hence, Iran declared war on the United States when her students mobbed the American embassy holding 52 hostages for 444 days. So much for 150 years of a peaceful Iran.
There are those who will say that the Shia would never help the Sunnis. Therefore, Iran (Shia) must be held innocent unless she feels threatened. Did they forget from which part of the world the statement, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" comes from?
