Ahmadinajad: "foes cannot do a damn thing"
2006-02-05
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here Sunday said the enemies could not prevent Iran from making progress. Ahmadinejad made the statement as a reaction to Saturday's decision of the International Atomic Energy Agency on reporting Iran to the United Nations Security Council. "The enemies of the Islamic Republic (of Iran) are furious because the Iranian nation has dared to grow its self-confidence out of their domination sphere.

"The foes cannot do a damn thing. We do not need you (enemies) at all. It is you (enemies), who need the Iranian people."

The president, who talked on the sidelines of the inauguration ceremony of a couple of projects at Shahid Babaei Telecommunications Center, noted, "They are going to inspect all our military sites in the name of the agency to become aware of our defensive might, but we will not allow them to do so."

Addressing the UN watchdog IAEA, he said, "You can issue as many resolutions as you like and dream on. But you cannot prevent Iranian nation's progress." He added, "It is you, who have atomic weapons, have poisoned the world atmosphere, and should be disarmed. We do not need atomic weapons.

"The Iranian people are civilized and cultured and have altruistic behavior.
we give to Hamas and Hizboallah alike! We even shelter al Qaeda leaders
"We rely on our unrivaled revolutionary thoughts and logic to play our role on the international scene."
He been taking lessons from the NORKs?
He warned the enemies, "You know very well that you cannot make it. The era of hegemony has come to an end and you must accept the realities."

The IAEA Saturday issued a resolution to report Iran to the UNSC. Of 35 member states of the IAEA's Board of Governors, 27 voted for the resolution, five abstained, and three voted against.

#13   It is you (enemies), who need the Iranian people.

Actually, we don't. If you were all to die under a saturation nuclear strike, it wouldn't hurt us a bit.

Think about it.

#12  The GWOT > the real battlefield is about America and whether America lives or dies, rules or is slave under OWG, as fought battle for OWG is fought in Washington amongst the NPE. RADICAL ISLAM IS JUST A BLOODY, PC "DIVERSION" AGS THE SURVIVAL AND DESTRUCTION OF DEMOCRATIC, FEDERALIST, REPUBLICAN, LIBERTARIAN, PLURALIST, ETC. FREE AMERICA AS WE KNOW IT. THIS IS WHY AMERS MUST NOT BE AFRAID OF EITHER EMPIRE OR NUCLEAR WAR OR UNILATERAL ACTION, BECUZ OUR ENEMIES WANT TO KILL US ONCE AND FOREVER, AND IN ALL LIKELIHOOD WILL SUBORN, REPRESS, AND EXTERMINATE US ANYWAYS NO MATTER HOW MANY CONCESSIONS WE MAKE TO THEM IN THE NAME OF PEACE.

#11  I think this moke truly believes he is the Mahdi. Perhaps the West cannot destroy all the Iranian nuclear sites from the air, but I do believe we could "decapitate" (a truly Islamic solution) the Iranian government. It would be interesting to see how the Iranian people would react if they awoke one morning and the theocracy had been vaporized during the night.

#9  Or worst, chain Jimmuh to one of the plant's fences as a shield!

#8  Perhaps Bush should send Jimmah to Tehran as a goodwill ambassador to defuse tensions. Sure would be a shame if he couldn't apply the Carter touch before the bombs start falling.

#7  "The foes cannot do a damn thing...." Save that quote. It will make a great epitaph.
That may have been true when Ahmadinejad was ravaging the US Embassy in 1979, but Carter isn't calling the shots anymore.

#5  i get the sad impression the Iranian people lap him up like the Germans did to Adolf hitler before ww2, i wonder if his speeches kind of 'galvinise' the Iranian people like adolfs did the germans.I always thought the way hitler - as much of a wnker he was and his nazi party were - was an incredable public speaker ,even though i havnt got a clue as to what he was saying/shouting in those rallies the way he says it and captures the audiance was amazing, dont get me wrong they were a sick bunch but i feel hitlers speechs and the way he captured the audiance were incredable, my question would be does this new hitler wannabe grab his audiance in the same way???? very worring if so

#4  He may be right - it is quite possible the West cannot do a damn thing about Iran & nukes. But not because of anything Iran or Ahmadinejad have to offer - but because the West is politically weak and has not the ruthlessness and WILL to do anything.

#2  Maybe Rumsfeld has to come out and say "Double Dare Ya!", or the dreaded "Your Mother!", before this pugilistic dung beetle takes the bait.
