IRAN: MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT TRY TO IMPEACH AHMADINEJAD
Adnkronos International ^ | 01-09-07

Tehran, 9 Jan. (AKI) - Iranian reformist lawmakers have started collecting signatures in Parliament to demand the impeachment of the country's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. So far, 38 signatures have been collected out of the 72 required to formally summon Ahmadinejad and request his impeachment. Noureddin Pirmouzen, a deputy with the reformist minority, says it is nonetheless "positive to question" the head of the executive branch. "Many actions of the current government and of president Ahmadinejad have led the country to an extremely worrying political and economic situation," Pirmouzen told the Iranian news website Aftab.

Referring to a resolution of the UN Security Council unanimously approved on 23 December which imposes sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear programme, the MP said "it is the last straw which has made Iranians loose their patience." The international community fears Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons and has repeatedly asked the government to halt sensitive nuclear work - a demand ignored by Tehran which claims its programme is solely for civilian use.

"Parliament cannot sit still in front of the current situation and watch as the economy worsens because of the government's inability," he added.

Issa Saharkhiz, editor and political analyst, told Adnkronos International (AKI) that "Ahmadinejad's golden era is over."

Wonder if those that are signing it are hoping that they continue to breathe.

Maybe some in Iran are starting to get worried about action by certain nations if this Whackjob isn't shut down. Seems many there would like to rid themselves of him and the mullahs.

Do you think this could have been instigated in part by the reports of Israel's nuclear strike?

maybe that report of israel practicing a limited nuclear strike against them is the motivating factor.

the current President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is so focused on the predicted coming of the Islamic mystic called the Mahdi (Arabic for "guided one") that it is conceivable that he could declare himself to be the Mahdi.snip

His first name, Mahmoud, means "praised" or "praiseworthy." His last name, Ahmadinejad, is actually a compound name. It would be more properly presented "Ahmadi-Nejad." The second part of his last name, Nejad, is a Persian suffix that means "descendant of." The first part, Ahmadi, means "highly praised" or "most highly praised." So, every time he signs his full name, he looks down at the piece of paper and reads, "The Praised Descendant of the Most Highly Praised." Sounds almost like the title "Son of The Most High," doesn't it? Perhaps it isn't so far-fetched after all to think that maybe, just maybe, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad really does think that he is destined to become the Islamic king of the world.snip

Wow, that's a lot of MP's. Maybe the mullets don't have a firm a grasp on power as I thought.

You know, I've had a sneaking suspicion about that myself. Feller certainly has a megalomaniacal side to him. It'll depend largely on the opinion of one man, the Ayatollah Mesbah-Yazdi, as to whether Ahmadinejad takes the extraordinary step of declaring himself a messiah. By any religion's standards that's a pretty heretical step unless, of course, you really are.

If beard-boy emerges from a well on a stage elevator, we got problems.
