#2 I wonder if they keep the ayatollahs on life-support in anticipation of the 12th Imam's return?

#3 When they're as far gone as the ayatollah is, shouldn't it be called "death support?"

#5 ...and the rest is very interesting.

News of Khamenei’s heart problems, especially if they turn out to be life-threatening, would undoubtedly catalyze the battle at the highest levels of the regime to control the choice of his successor. Recent events document both the intensity and the violence of the power struggle.

On November 27th, a military aircraft–an Antonov 74—headed for a military site near Tabriz crashed shortly after takeoff from Tehran. Nearly forty deaths were reported, including several top leaders of the Revolutionary Guards Corps, the country’s elite military organization. The dead included some of Khamenei’s closest allies and advisers, and their loss was a serious blow for him.

Most Iranians–who are in any case reluctant to believe in accidents when the mighty are killed–are convinced the plane was sabotaged, especially as this is the latest in a sequence of spectacular airplane disasters, producing high-level military casualties.

#6 We are told ever so often that believing Muslims welcome death. They are said to love death as the decadent West loves life. Why then is so much effort put into keeping this Holy Man from his eternal reward?

#7 Good riddance of the worst sort of rubbish. We should have helped this sick twisted maggot to his earthly reward a looooong time ago. These eldery hidebound Neanderthal fucks simply cannot die soon enough. That is a problem which will be addressed only when our government finally gets serious about winning the Global War on Terrorism.

Ahmadinejad may be a nutcase, but he's a dangerous nutcase and he has allies.

Like the bird in the graphic always says:

Patience, my ass! I'm going to kill something!
