Iran's president-elect has proclaimed an Islamic revolution of global proportions.
Mahmood Ahmadinejad said his election coincided with what he termed a new Islamic revolution.
"The wave of the Islamic revolution will soon reach the entire world," Ahmadinejad said. "In one night, the martyrs strode down a path of 100 years." Ahmadinejad, who did not elaborate, was speaking to the families of those killed in a 1981 attack at the headquarters of the Islamic Republic Party, Middle East Newsline reported.
The Teheran mayor has served as a senior commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, responsible for the nation's missile and nuclear weapons programs, and has been identified as a suspect in the killing of Kurdish dissidents in Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The 49-year-old Ahmadinejad, who participated in the takeover of the U.S. embassy in Teheran, in 1979, was regarded as the most anti-Western of the presidential candidates. On June 24, he defeated Hashemi Rafsanjani, a former president who headed the Expediency Council, the regime's watchdog over what had been a reformist-dominated parliament. "Thanks to the blood of the martyrs, a new Islamic revolution has arisen and the Islamic revolution of 1384 [the current Iranian year] will, if God wills, cut off the roots of injustice in the world," Ahmadinejad was quoted by the official Iranian news agency as saying. "The era of oppression, hegemonic regimes, tyranny and injustice has reached its end."
The speech marked the first time since the late 1980s that an Iranian president vowed to export Islamic insurgency throughout the world. Allies of Ahmadinejad said the president-elect, who takes office in August, would seek to revive the principles of the Islamic revolution in 1978. They said Ahmadinejad would also seek to impose Islamic behavior in public, including strict enforcement of a dress code.
"Islamic and revolutionary culture have been neglected in the past years," Iranian parliamentarian Mohammad Taqi Rahbar said.
Iran has been cited as the leading financier of groups that appear on the U.S. State Department list of terrorist organizations. Iran's leading clients have been the Hizbullah in Lebanon and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, both sponsored by Teheran, as well as Hamas and the Syrian-aligned Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command.
I don't know how you got that...it's not true. If so, do tell.
You can read it and see it at the same time.
Trust me, they had to know.
Send me the link. Thanks.
Give me even a hint of hope that Bush is doing anything vis a vis Iran.
So you know also about the meeting Soros had set up with him at Open Society here in NY in January (he cancelled that time, but they met later at another location), and the meetings with the French...and the meetings for more funnel money thru China.
I sent the pres an email on talking to Horowitz, Robert Spencer, the author of 'Atomic Iran'(he is on point) and that UK journalist that covered Mahmood and his OSU group during the hostage crisis.

(Notice the source.......LOL)
Grampa, he's not dead. All those in intelligence have been watching him...there is a total accounting of his education, travels, organizations, where he was when and loads of info. He was backed by Khomeini back then and is backed by this Khomeini now...he was part of that transition and strong-arming also. Indeed it is him.
Being a Girly Guy with his fancy hair, he probably has his eyebrows plucked.
We may be talking about different people.
The guy in the red circle is not the new leader of Iran, and he was reported to be dead. I don't know his name.
Very, very well said.
A hardline jerkface who clamps down on the nation's youth may be the catalyst for a backlash. His election might turn out to be a blessing.
You're citing that American hating POS as proof that Bush is doing something vis a vis Iran?
LOL

No need to do that. This guy's gonna end up touching off a revolution in his own country.
He had three of the former hostages on (one in the studio and two by remote).He showed two pictures,a black and white of the guy to the right of a hostage holding his arm,and a current color shot of the new pres.Each former hostage identified the color photo as their captor.They all also said they did not recognize the guy in the black and white
Matthews seemed a bit puzzled but told the three that the guy in the black and white had been dead since 1980.
As I said,it was "reported",in this case by Matthews.
Is it true?Who knows?Do you? Check pics from post 16 down
