Following are excerpts from an address by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, which aired on IRINN, the Iranian news channel, on May 19, 2011.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: In Europe, there is a lot of rain – an average rainfall of over 1,500 millimeters. They do not need [watering] systems because they have natural irrigation, but they used equipment at their disposal to empty the clouds
As you know, clouds move from west to east. They are formed over the ocean, and then move over the Mediterranean, where the air undergoes changes. Then they pass over Iran, moving eastward. The clouds were emptied of most of their content.
As you saw on the news, there was an unusual amount of rainfall and snow in Europe, while [Iran] was dry during the fall. A certain politician, who is not an expert on water or construction, wrote an article, 7 or 8 months ago, about a water crisis in the next 30 years, in which he included a map of the world, with an area that he claimed would be arid, stretching from Turkey to us, and then further east. This is precisely the area that they are afraid of, due to the creation of [our] civilization and culture. These were the arid areas.
I was at a meeting where someone said that there was a water crisis, and that someone had written an article about it. I told him that this guy does not work in this field, and that he is not an expert on water, meteorology, or hydrology. How did he reach this conclusion? We had reports that they are doing this in Europe. They are emptying the clouds, so that they will not move our way.
Then we conducted studies and became convinced that what this gentleman had written was not a scientific forecast. Rather, this is a premeditated event. We will deal with this through legal channels. We will not permit such a disgraceful thing to take place.
It is clear that when rain becomes scarce, more conflicts develop over water in border areas.
It sounds like he’s looked at clouds from both sides now...
No, not Europe NW NJ. We haven’t had sun in about a week and a half.
Will he eventually be visited by the SEALS?
It’s all a great global conspiracy!
It’s those damned windmills!
Ah....but he really doesn’t know clouds at all!
So Karl Rove’s still at it?
Rove!
Hey, he and Al Gore should have a lot to talk about.
...a friend of mine who installed solar panels last Nov. has been walking around talking to himself. Of course, I don’t help his situation by blaming him for the lack of sunshine since..... (nwnj)
hilarious
Blame Mr. Blue Sky.
My corner of America has had some 4 inches more rain than average since March.
Come and git it monkey boy.
Well, we know the European socialist vampires can suck the life out of anything, so I'm inclined to think Mahmoud has a point insofar as Europe sucks.
LOL!
