| This man is just basically an idiot. Tehran, Oct. 28 â Iranâs President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has fired his countryâs ambassadors to Britain, France ... allways a smart move,pissing of one of your ... and Germany, and ordered 18 envoys to be recalled to Tehran, a government official in the Iranian capital told Iran Focus. âAhmadinejad has been angered by what he sees as the envoysâ meek reaction to the global condemnation of his Wednesday speech against Israel and the Westâ, the official, who requested anonymity, said. âHe made the speech with the full blessing of the Supreme Leader [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei] and has his green light to stifle any dissenting voice within the governmentâ can you say coup against the reformers, of course you can The official said that while there was broad consensus within the clergy-dominated regime on the hard-line Presidentâs vow to âwipe Israel off the mapâ, some Iranian diplomats voiced concern that the international backlash could be too costly for the Islamic Republic. no shit-sherlocks On Friday, an array of top political and military figures in Iran lined up behind Ahmadinejadâs fiery speech. The Commander in Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, the Speaker of Parliament, the Secretary General of the Supreme National Security Council and the powerful Minister of Intelligence and Security (Iranâs secret police) were among those who fully endorsed the Presidentâs diatribe and made equally strong invectives against Israel. âThe Supreme Leader and his inner council see a window of opportunity for Iran right now, as the Americans are stuck in Iraq and the Europeans are divided over what to doâ ... you have got ot be ... he said. âThey are telling everyone not to be afraid of threats of military action by the West, as this is only a bluffâ. The ambassadors who are being fired were appointed during the administration of ex-President Mohammad Khatami. |

| #19 Do you think this guy is taking out a brush and painting a target on his back? I mean how stupid is the F***tard? I hope he keeps this line of bluster up for a few months. That will be the time it takes for the Euros to finally feel the impact of the clue-bat. Once they do, then something is going to go down. Springtime in Qom could be ugly. |

| #15 Bonjour, a5089! Ca va? You are too kind -- it's always a pleasure to welcome a newcomer to this interesting world of ours, and if his parents bring up their Ulysse to be as aware of what is happening beyond his doorstep as his Uncle a5089, they will have done well. And if he can write as interestingly and informatively as you about the politics of his time, then the trailing daughters in their turn will appreciate him as much as Rantburg does you. :-D |

| #13 don't be surprised if they arrange the accidental shoot down a US recon aircraft Wow, is this like a pre-emptive conspiracy theory? Or a pre-conspiracy theory? Or is it a conspiracy pre-theory? |

| #9 âThey are telling everyone not to be afraid of threats of military action by the West, as this is only a bluffâ. President Ah'm an Idjit might want to ask Saddam about Western 'bluffs'. |

| #8 The Hebes will do the dirty work, but don't forget that their interests are their interests. As far as Israeli pre-attack indicators... don't be surprised if they arrange the accidental shoot down a US recon aircraft and crew or try to sink a US Navy ship in the Levant or the Gulf. Remember the Liberty! |

| #6 If Diego Garcia starts sprouting KC-10s and KC-135s and the Bs(1s,2s and 52s)start showing up in Guam for "deployment exercises" and I lived in Iran,I'd make sure my air-raid shelter was stocked. Until then,let the ranting continue. |

| #5 As always, watch for the 'tripline indicators' for Israel's settling offensive...1) movement of US battle groups to the Persian Gulf and Mediterranean Sea 2)A quiet recalling of Israeli citizens out of Arab lands and 3)A sudden mysterious media info 'blackout' lasting 2 weeks prior coming out of Tel-Aviv! A night operation with eastward trade winds, during rain preferably, The Israelis will use nuclear tipped bunker busters, and may unveil a secret that would shock the world...Israeli kamikazi pilots!! |

| #4 At this point, I have wonder what Israel is waiting for - it seems to me to be a couple of minutes past "high noon" at this point. What are the worried about? That the Islamo-facist world might dislike them more? Kimmy in Norkland, and Comrade No. 1 Mugabe are both nut-case leaders who have deserved to be taking dirt-naps for a long time. But their countries are pathetic jokes. Iran is a full scale menace to the civilized world, not just Israel. All things considered, a preemptive strike by Israel right about now would be a welcome ass-whipping of the neighborhood bully, as far as I can tell. |

| #3 Iran's Military leaders? WTF? You mean terrorist facilitators don't you? Irans military doctrine involves human wave attacks and WW1 style use of Chemicals and Artillery. They have no air deterrent and will never get one now. It's a quick way to lose a war in the desert where it would be fought. There is no place for you to run or hide now. |

| #2 stupidly and stubbornly, he has managed to give Israel the green light for self defense (as if they needed permission). If the Joooooos were to take out all nuke facilities tonight, there would be clucking from the usual hens, but nothing else |
