Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad plans to retire from politics when his second term ends next year, AFP quoted him as saying on Saturday in an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, scheduled to be published on Sunday.

“Eight years is enough,” Ahmadinejad, 55, told the German paper.

Iran’s constitution prohibits a president from serving more than two consecutive terms, but Ahmadinejad also ruled out the possibility that he would let someone serve one term and then return to office four years later, as Russian President Vladimir Putin recently did.

Ahmadinejad said that he would likely return to academia. “Maybe I’ll involve myself in politics at the university, but I will not form a political party or group,” he said.

In other words, the mullahs have informed him that its time to retire. He is, after all, nothing more than a puppet.

Ahmedinejad is hoping Obama would appoint him U.S. ambassador to Israel next year.

2013.

Is that before or after the 12th Imam shows up?

Does that give him enough time to destroy the world before he steps out of office?

Hell, if 0bama is reelected Aquavelvajad could be our new ambassador to the U.N., or maybe even the Secretary General.
