President Mahmoud sez countdown for Israel destruction has started
2007-06-04
Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday said the world would witness the destruction of Israel soon, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported. "The countdown has started for the Zionist regime's destruction at the hands of the Lebanese and Palestinian peoples," the student agency ISNA also quoted the president as saying.

Ahmadinejad said last summer's war between Israel and Hezbollah showed for the first time that the "hegemony of the occupier regime (Israel) had collapsed, and the Lebanese nation pushed the button to begin counting the days until the destruction of the Zionist regime," IRNA quoted him as saying. "God willing, in the near future we will witness the destruction of the corrupt occupier regime," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying during a speech to foreign guests mostly from African, Arab and neighboring countries who attended ceremonies marking the 18th anniversary of the death of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who is known as the father of Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Ahmadinejad has made anti-Israel comments in the past. In October 2005, he caused outrage in the West when he said in a speech that Israel's "Zionist regime should be wiped off the map." His supporters have argued Ahmadinejad's words were mistranslated and should have been better translated as "vanish from the pages of time" -- implying Israel would vanish on its own rather be destroyed.

#2  I'm thinking the Nuke will either come from Lebanon or be a giant suicide vest worn by the GAZA fence.

No direct track to Iran.

The most traceable will be if it comes from Syria.

Iran's hands will be clean up to 3 away - by their logic.
