| The Day the Secret Service Almost Shot Mahmoud Ahmadinejad |
| 2013-03-23 |
| One morning in September 2006, during the United Nations General Assembly, President George W. Bush's daily intelligence brief contained a particularly chilling item. It was three sentences long, and it scared the hell out of the dozen or so White House officials cleared to read it. According to one official, it began, "A U.S. Secret Service agent, in an apparent accident, discharged his shotgun as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was loading his motorcade at the InterContinental Hotel yesterday." The agent was adjusting the side-mounted shotgun on one of the motorcade's armored follow-up Suburbans when it discharged. "Everyone just stopped. The Iranians looked at us and we looked at the Iranians. The agent began to apologize. Ahmadinejad just turned his head and got into his car." And that was it. |

| #4 Nutjob is easily replaced by another clown. The problem is with the Iranian theocracy itself. |

| #3 Appears their handling of weapons is on a par with their handling of Columbian whores and vehicle fueling. |

| #2 "Ooops. Sorry, my bad." What more could we want - dead Ahmadinejad, plausibly by accident, before nuclear capability and before Persian Spring was squashed. Too bad it didn't work. |
