Iran's Ahmadinejad charges US with assassination plot

Jun 19, 2008, 20:55 GMT

Tehran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday charged the United States with an assassination plot against him, Fars news agency reported.

'According to reliable information, as I rejected to reside in the green zone during my trip to Iraq, the Americans had planned to kidnap and kill this humble servant of the nation,' Ahmadinejad told clergy circles in a meeting in the religious city of Qom in central Iran.

'The plot was neutralized due to a last-minute change of our schedule,' Ahmadinejad added, without however elaborating how Iran gained the information of the assassination attempt.

Ahmadinejad was in Iraq last March and according to reports back then, he cancelled a trip to southern Iraqi holy cities of Karbala and Najaf due to security concerns.

Ahmadinejad is clearly crazy. Now we can add paranoia to his list of mental illnesses. The US wouldn't kill him--aside from other considerations, it wouldn't even do any good to kill him.

Constitutionally the President of Iran is a barking dog on a short leash and doesn't run the country at all. And Ahmadinejad may or may not even be re-elected. If anything, the US likes this guy because he says such crazy psycho racist stuff that its easier to get support for sanctions against Iran every time he opens his mouth.

Several months back, Ahmadinejad offered to monitor the upcoming US Presidential elections, claiming he could prove whether or not they were free and fair elections because 'if Bush is re-elected, he'll know the elections weren't fair.' He said it in all seriousness. He is clueless about the world and of course there's that holocaust denial thing and that 'wipe Israel off the map' thing.

Sadly, I wouldn't even trust Iran to run a nuclear power plant (they don't even take proper care of their hospital biohazard waste!) let alone nuclear weapons.

The US administartions have committed more crimes in the world than any other nation. Assasinations and revolts are the bye product of US friendships and enmity.

OFF COURSE MAJOR PART OF THE US POPULATION, IS DECSENDANTS OF ROBBERS, PIRATES AND OTHER CRIMINALS, EVEN CASTRO OPENED HIS JAILS TO SEND CUBAN CRIMINALS TO USA!!!

SP4: Of course you don't(and do!)Jun 20th, 2008 - 04:29:32

...because, you moron, it's easier to blame the USA for any shortcomings than acknowledge all the wonderful things we have brought to the table. Things like:

60 years of peace and the resulting unparalleled prosperity of Europe.

Winning the cold war with the old Soviet Union.

Winning two world wars

providing half of the security for the free world.

Confronting some of the worst crimes against humanity

The first to run to another nations aid in their time of need.

Neighbors who have the finest neighbor in the world, who honor their soverignty and would run to their protection in an instant.

Freeing 50 million people from the yoke of totalistarianism.

Yeah, some folks got killed and mistakes were made. Nonetheless, go look at a map of the world and ask yourself what it would look like without US leadership.

'again millions in Iraq'

Look man we all know you hate the USA.
but you don't have to lie about US.

Let's take your word seriously
and will do the calculation with your numbers ok.

you said millions in Iraq?

Let's start with 2 miilion dead according to your numbers.
Divide 2 million into 272 weeks (rough estimate)
and you get 7352 people killed every week.

You would need death camps
trains and buses for transportation
and an SS like deathsquads to round up the people.
That's if you wanted to achieve your numbers.

Death camps with ovens and Sondercommandos
to shove the people into the chambers.
It's the only way to get the numbers you want.

Over a thousand people a day
would have to be exterminated to achiveve
your phoney baloney nmumbers.

Well buddy
I think you need to get into a new line of work.
Polikal lying is a sublte thing...
and you are too emotional to think through anything subtle.
