Sanctions...Hell.

Bob Beckel on H&C said we should bomb the Facilities...

He was sitting for Allan tonight!

Please put me on your ping list. Secondly -

Ali Nourizadeh, Asharq Al-Awsat reminded us that Iran imports most of its gasoline and has only a 45 day supply.

Hmmm, the old petroleum axe swings both ways.

I think the ol' symbols of the Shah look so cool and I see quite a few Iranians use these symbols. There was a big soccer game that Iran said; the people felt liberated some and chanted things like "we love the USA"; the soccer is of course a bit offtopic here, but the Mullah's regime at first absolutely quashed this sports expression with the Iranian people;

Beckel? BECKEL is talking like a hawk?

Did he also say anything about a shipment of skiware and iceskates going to Hades?

Where has Ahmadinejad disappeared to?

[DoctorZIn]

It appears that he has dropped out of sight over the past three days....

about the same time as the bombings in Ahvaz, where he was supposed to appear.

[sageb1]

Paranoid?

[Just A Nobody]

Very interesting.....

[AdmSmith]

It appears that he has dropped out of sight over the past three days....

Is it possible that he is suffering from bipolar disorder? Anybody knows if has disappeared before?

From http://www.israpundit.com/archives/2006/01/mahmoud_ahmadin.php :

Thanks to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, a new word has entered the political vocabulary: mahdaviat.

Not surprisingly, it's a technical religious term. Mahdaviat derives from mahdi, Arabic for "rightly-guided one," a major figure in Islamic eschatology. He is, explains the Encyclopaedia of Islam, "the restorer of religion and justice who will rule before the end of the world." When he was still mayor of Tehran in 2004, for example, Ahmadinejad appears to have secretly instructed the city council to build a grand avenue to prepare for the Mahdi. ...When addressing the United Nations in September, Ahmadinejad flummoxed his audience of world political leaders by concluding his address with a prayer for the Mahdi's appearance: "O mighty Lord, I pray to you to hasten the emergence of your last repository, the Promised One, that perfect and pure human being, the one that will fill this world with justice and peace."

This is not insanity. It is the rational and premeditated act of the man who would be God. Ahmadinejad is performing acts and rituals that align with Islamic prophecies and it is clearly his intention to claim the title of Mahdi for himself, whereupon millions of credulous followers will see him as the voice of God. Alternatively, he may bring forth an underling as the Mahdi, who will of course say whatever Ahmadinejad wants him to say.

BUMP for the excellent info and comments today!

"This is not insanity. It is the rational and premeditated act of the man who would be God."

Lol. And the difference is....?

[AdmSmith]

Beats me!

[Semper Paratus]

whereupon millions of credulous followers will see him as the voice of God.

Just as likely that millions more will tear him to shreds for blasphemy.

I love the pic you posted!

In the past, a few radical Islamist leaders have tried to claim that they are Mahdi with little to no success. Similarly, Bin Laden and his Taliban pals have compared themselves to the prophet Mohammad to cement their authority in the eyes of the believers. So, am not surprised at all that Ahmadinejad is following suit.

It is absolutely despicable.

I read somewhere that he has set up offices in Iran where people can call to ask about the end of world signs. Furthermore, he has said that more hotels need to be built to honor Mahdi's appearance! I hear through word of mouth that he is a big joke in Iran.
