Iranian President Stands by Call to Wipe Israel Off Map
NYT ^ | Oct. 29, 2005 | NAZILA FATHI

Posted on 10/28/2005 7:25:18 PM PDT by FairOpinion

The president of Iran stood by his earlier call to "wipe Israel off the map" on Friday, while other Iranian officials played it down and some commentators here suggested it was a sign of what they considered his amateurism.

The president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was cheered by thousands of supporters during an anti-Israel rally in Tehran on Friday. "My words are the Iranian nation's words," he said of his statement, which was widely condemned around the world, the Iranian news agency IRNA quoted him as saying. "Westerners are free to comment, but their reaction is invalid."

State media reported that hundreds of thousands took part in the annual demonstrations across the country. Protesters chanted "death to America" and "death to Israel" and set fire to American and Israeli flags.

Iran should be wiped off the face of the earth. The Islamic scum cannot be reasoned with.

So, it's amateurism that made him say it? I guess the pros there know how to say it without really saying it. Piss on them. Death FROM America! Death FROM Israel!

Clancy wrote a book where there was a Iranian president like this. He spent his time destabalizing the middle-east and helped organize a covert chemical weapons attack on america.

He ended up with a JDAM in his house.

Let's hope life imitates fiction on this subject.

Iran is a bunch of pussies. They pay other people to fight their battles for them.

Ummm, `fraid that if the West submits a "comment" it will will "invalidate" YOU, Mr. Prez of Iran. Perhaps you haven't been following the papers regarding you ex-neighbor Sadam.

Iranians can try their absolute best to wipe Israel off the map but God will not allow the apple of His eye be destroyed.

Israel is proof that there is a God. Many attempts have been made to wipe the Jews off the face of the earth but they have all failed and will continue to fail.

I remember the book! IIRC, Pres Ryan orders the JDAM strike and has it televised on live TV, and then threatens Iran with 'more drastic measures' if they don't immediately fall into line.

I'll take the side of Israel. Hopefully the U.S. will do the same, and not sell out. If we do, it will not go well for us.

Since Iran has confirmed it's very existance to be a mortal threat to Israel, for all intents and purposes having made a declaration of war, I say we let Israel launch a pre-emptive N-strike and wipe it out.

If they want some nuke fuel we should send them some, granted the reaction will be a little faster than they like but oh well :

Fine, Iran has declared war. Now Israel cannot be condemned if they take out their reactors. This is a good diplomatic improvement.
