#1 I would bet dollars for dimes that the backwood's overachiever who leads the Iran terrorist entity, is charcoal by the end of March.

#2 Yet that is where the similarities between Ahmadinejad and Bani-Sadr end. Sounds like an awful lot of similarities!

"Everyone must support this government," Khamenei said, according to state television. "The extent of my support for this government and this president is the same as my support for the previous presidents." Yeah, the same as the last guy who wasn't re-elected.

Even his former opponent Mr. Hashemi-Rafsanjani, who has criticized some of Ahmadinejad's actions, defended the president's remarks by referring to the "illegitimate Israeli government" in an Oct. 28 sermon. Ya suppose any other sermons condemmed Israel? Big difference between saying it inside the mosque, to the true believers, and announcing it in the international arena.

It is extremely unlikely that the regime will replace an elected president today. But they can have an "election" any time they like, and the more, the better. Mebbe, oh ... in the spring? March?

#3 Ahmadinejad is effective for the MM's:

he can implement hard-core crazy policy, threaten Israel, the Great Satan, Saudis and Europe, bamboozle the UN and IAEA, all the while the MM's sit back, saying "hey! It's not us! The guy's crazy!...and elected!"

#4 Ahmadinejad is Hitler with nukes. He just hasn't completed his purges yet. He's working on it.

#5 Interestingly, action on the USA or Israel attacking Iran Futures Contracts on Tradesports is still low. Will have to keep an eye on this.

#6 Doc, it's going to happen. What is unknown is how many strikes we will absorb before we destroy Iran.
