Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says Iran is friendly to Jews, but his problem is Zionists – although he says there are only 10,000 of them in the entire world. Speaking with CNN, he declared, “From the very beginning, we're against Zionists. Zionists are neither Christians nor Jewish. They have no religion. Religion is wealth and money." Interviewer Fareed Zakaria responded with a question that included a simple definition of a Zionist as one who lives in Israel. “No, no,” answered Ahmadinejad. “Zionism is a complicated and terrible party. And to most they have 10,000 members, and 2,000 main members.” However,...

That’s why they put it there,” Ahmadinejad told the Iranian nation in a televised address late Tuesday. Turkey, a NATO member, agreed in September to deploy a NATO early warning radar system...

There is much turbulence in the Iranian government today. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is not happy that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad fired Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi last month.

According to the BBC, one of his aides wrote a blog post that said the Iranian president “is in pain, as if a thorn is stuck in his throat… he cannot take it out or swallow in.” Try that one the next time...

NBC News chief foreign correspondent Andrea Mitchell has experienced a lot in her 16 years on the beat. But she calls this week's interview with Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "one of the most complicated challenges I've faced."

Mitchell has been in Iran all week and was the first to report the news Tuesday that Shourd, an American hiker had been freed...

Excuse me; Mr. President; this is too much. We as a Free Nation Must care...
