Meeting confirmed. Location of Earth or after death still in doubt.

#3 It's a universal ideology that leads the world to justice,

What happened to the last ideology that proclaimed that?

#4 Bullshit. Ahmadinejad already thinks he's here.
He thinks it's him.

#7 Ahmadinejad, who has drawn global attention recently for his contention the Holocaust was a "myth,"

I guess his statement that Israel should be "wiped off the face of the earth" wasn't enough to draw that much attention.

#10 "We don't shy away from declaring that Islam is ready to rule the world."

Too bad this jerkwit doesn't realize there's a whole bunch of people with everything from handguns to nuclear weapons that simply don't agree with him on this particular topic. I'm astonished that the Sunni Arabs haven't taken exception to this Shiite upstart's endless squawking about how superior their brand of Islam happens to be.

Someone cap this waste of skin real soon, please.

#11 The "operations order" for D-Day stood almost six feet high. That is, a stack of 8.5"x11" paper.

Can you imagine how high the stack of paper for the operations order for the attack on Iran would be?

Them fellas can only type so fast, you all.

Not very, 'moose.

How much paper would it take to say "Do it"?

#13 Isn't anyone else remotely disturbed at the extent of this f&%kwit's obsession with apocalyptic visions? Allowing nuclear weapons to fall into the hands of this raving madman goes beyond all reason. This dirt bag needs to be incinerated with all of his fellow terror sponsors.

#14 Zenster, this guy DOES worry me A LOT. He reminds me of the guy in the Star Trek movie where Cpt. Kirk dies, the one who is willing to destroy a whole planet just so HE can gain Paradise. An otherwise intelligent person who is insane about not ever truly dieing but truly believes he will live on in eternity in Paradise. Tatally scary and he WOULD take the rest of the world, not just his own Nation, with him to do it.

#15 Notice how the Mahdi will reign for 7 years after which there will be a judgement upon the Earth by God?

Notice the correlation between what the Bible says about the End Times and this Mahdi prophecy?

To put it succinctly, this Mahdi sounds like the Antichrist who, it is written/prophecied, will rise to power over a 7-year timespan, bringing about God's judgements upon mankind and the planet - at the end of which there will be Christs' return and the great battle of Armageddon.

Ahmadinejad wants to bring about armageddon and the end of the world? He really is a lunatic. Allowing someone with this kind of psychosis to get hold of nuclear weapons would be just that -armageddon (hopefully only for Iran and Islam).

#16 Actually, FOTSGreg, Islam, Christianity and Judaism all share similar doctrinal roots in terms of Edenic legends of origin and all the way to Abraham. The Mahdi is simply the Koran's messiah.

Agreed that the concept of Iranian Islmaists as midwives for the second coming is as disturbing a notion as it gets, and well enough to arrive at the inversion over to the anti-Christ, this is not the case.

What you are really seeing if the terrifying prospect of any fundamentalist religion being given full rein.

Back in 1998 I acquired a wolf hybrid for free. My fundamentalist neighbors were also considering acquiring a pet as well. I mentioned how my animal's littermate sister was available for free and was met with the reply, "Oh, we're waiting until after 2000 to get a pet."

When I asked why, I was told, "We're concerned about any interuption in the supply of pet food with the coming Y2K crisis."

After scooping up my jaw from the ground, I told my neighbor that even if we had to run sales totals using pencil and paper, there was no way that America's economy was going to grind to a halt over Y2K.

It was simply amazing to see somewhat intelligent people buy into the apocalyptic vision of end times arbitrarily arriving in time for the oft-corrected Julian calendar's page-flip to 2000. Christ's second coming has been almost continuously predicted since his crucifixion. Thinking that he would time his rearrival for some aribitrary calendar date was simply stunning.

Consider that there are Christian groups helping the Israelis solely for the purpose of making sure that Israel is around for Christ's second coming. They really have no affection for the Jews, they just do not want to lose a vital component of the constellation that is required for the end times (i.e., conversion of the Jews).

Now take all of the above and multiply it times 10,000 and you get the danger that Ahmadinejad poses to our modern world. This guy has been breathing his own exhaust for so long that there's no way he can be in touch with reality. That whole talk about a "halo" appearing during his speech at the UN was totally blood-chilling.

Iran's drift off into total fantasy bespeaks a door opening upon the worst of atrocities. When the world is ending tomorrow, any sort of barbarity or war crime all takes a back seat. This is why Ahmadinejad needs to be deposed right away.

#17 I was talking about Ahmindeedanut this past weekend with a very good frien from my college days. He is very anti-Bush and pro- Jimmy Carter (?) and said, "You can't believe what this guy says, he's insane". I said, "We HAVE to believe him because he IS insane and DOES mean what he says. He believes what he says". He typifies to me the Liberal Democrats. They just can't believe people like him should be taken seriously.

Consider, too, that we aren't necessarily talking about the North Coon Prairie Lutheran Church Ladies' Aid society when we mention them.

#19 He is not the only one who claims that a Golden Halo appeared around him during the UN speech. Others claim to have seen it as well. Ahmadinejad goes on to claim that he was posessed during the speech and was receiving strength and instructions from God. He says that he is preparing for the coming of the Mahdi; however, I think he truly thinks he is the Mahdi and that he will bring global destruction. No Joke Boys and Girls! The golden halo was not just a bad bean burrito! This is Germany 1934.

#20 Hmmm... S'pose the ultimate weapon is part of his fantasy? Take out the jews and get elected "Mahdi for Life"?

#21 I said, "We HAVE to believe him because he IS insane and DOES mean what he says. He believes what he says".

Deacon Blues, I agree with you totally. However much of Ahmadinejad's agenda is smoke and mirrors matters not. This wingnut will act upon his to-do list as time and opportunity permits. This we cannot allow.

I remain amazed at the number of people here and amongst the liberal set who write off Ahmadinejad as some sort of yapping Pomeranian that is annoying but can do no harm. This maggot means to do a world of hurt and his ability to do so doesn't enter into the equation. We must strip this guy of all ability to act. Preferrably by bringing his body temperature to ambient.

#22 DB, Zen et al - I'm agreeing as well. We need to believe that when someone sez he'll kill you and your family/friends, you proceed accordingly. My instinct is that he should be spread into a fine pink mist over the rest of the mullahs at their next parliament hearing

#23 Zenster I share your fears. The other thing I hear from liberals and even members of this MB is "well, he is just playing it up for home consumption". No, he is not. This goes way beyond "home consumption". He means what he says.

#25 "Isn't anyone else remotely disturbed at the extent of this f&%kwit's obsession with apocalyptic visions?"

Uhhh... I've been disturbed by these Iranian nutbags since at least as far back as 1976, when I encountered Iranian Islamic loonies protesting the Shah when I was at the U. of Colorado.

And I've been absolutely certain push would come to shove with the Islamazoids since the hostage crisis (thanks for nothing, Jimmeh!) began in November of '79.

No, you're not alone, Zenster...

#26 Has Ahmadinejad read our strongly worded demarche yet? Should another be sent before March?

#27 "The worst woes will come to those who heap their grief by blood of sheep."

For those interested, have a look at what I found: Testimony of Antichrist

BS or no? ...I like the quote though.
