Meanwhile, back at the new world war...
Did you catch this one? Y-Net News.com reported on November 13th-Monday,
According to the Iranian media Monday, Iranian President Mahoud Ahmadinejad declared that Israel was destined to ‘disappearance and destruction’ at a council meeting with Iranian ministers.
.“The western powers created the Zionist regime in order to expand their control of the area. This regime massacres Palestinians everyday, but since this regime is against nature, we will soon witness its disappearance and destruction,” Ahmadinejad said.
Once again we hear the familiar refrain. How many ways can the Iranian President say that "Israel will be wiped off the map"? Ahmadinejad's own website reported on another event on the same day, a meeting with a PLO leader:
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Monday that the issue of Palestine has become a test for trust in dignity, nobility, freedom and justice of human beings which would eventually result in the victory of Muslim and independent nations..He made the remarks in meeting with the Head of the Palestinian Liberation Organization's (PLO) Political Department and Secretary of Fatah Central Committee Farouk Kaddoumi..According to the Press Bureau and Public Relations Department of the President's office, at the meeting, the president underlined that the fate of Palestine would play significant role in determining the fate of the Islamic Ummah and all freedom-seekers round the world..Iranian nation and government support the oppressed Palestinian until the achievement of their cause, he said..Referring to successive defeats of Zionists and their supporters, he said the Zionist are on their decline and try to exert political, psychological and military pressure on Palestinian along with other Muslims and freedom seekers to urge them give up their morales..Liberation of the holy Qods would be only be materialized through resistance, cooperation, and unity of all Muslims, he said.
"Achievement of their cause"? "Liberation of the holy Qods"? What does he mean by "victory of Muslim and independent nations?" Is Iran at war with somebody? He surely can't mean us, can he? We just voted and said we don't want war...
