Iran president claims US assassination plot

[ZetaNine]

paranoia will destroy ya.... these really are the rantings of a sick delusional paranoid mind.

this cat is beyond loony.  he always sounds like some kid on the playground who keeps getting the crap kicked out of him....and after he gets up all bloodied..he dusts off...runs away for a safe distance....then starts shouting insults at the kids who kicked the crap out of him...

is he the next:

saddam or noriega?

my other thought (which I rather like).... perhaps our own CIA really is having a blast with this guy.  I'd love to be a fly on the wall and find out just how covert and overt were are taunting him inside his own borders.


TEHRAN,Iran (AP) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday accused the United States of plotting to kidnap and assassinate him during a visit this year to Iraq, state media reported.
The hardline president told a meeting of clerics in the central city of Qom that Iran's "enemies" planned to kill him when he went to Baghdad in March, according to the president's Web site. Iranian leaders usually use the term "enemies" to refer to Western nations and the United States in particular.

The report on the presidential Web site did not specify the United States as the source of the plot. But state television reported that Ahmadinejad had "unveiled a shocking story"—that "Americans had intended to kidnap him during his trip to Iraq."

Ahmadinejad said the plot was never carried out because of "intentional" last-minute changes in his schedule during the visit, the Web site said. He said the conspirators learned about the changes too late, when he had departed Iraq.

I really don't think anyone would have to kidnap him or any other international leader to kill them. With the way technology is you can just drop a big flippin' bomb in there and smoke everyone. OR it doesn't take a huge amount of previous planning to setup someone with a sniper rifle and smoke a guy like him from a good distance if you want to be a little more discreet about the killing. That is if you would like to keep it a little less obvious that doing him with a bomb.

I hope the ruthless aliens use the anal probe when they kidnap him.

Why would we want to kill him?  As radical as this looney toon is, he seems to be as smart as a bag of hammers.  It is probably safer for us to have him in power as opposed to similarly radical nutjob with a brain.  The same line of logic as was used with Hitler, his incompetence brought about Germany's fall sooner.

Wait a minute.......didn't we drop a bomb on some wacko's tents, killing some of his children and missing him completely? Seems i remember that happening. Momar Kadafi wasn't it?

And in the process, millions were killed. Not just by war, but by extermination.

Yeah we did but that was in the 80's when we were busy telling everyone that we had the F-19 stealth fighter...

I'd rather see him a fringe lunatic that erodes Iran's credibility, than a martyr.

This is a no brainer.

Thing about Iran's governmental system, he may be the President but he is not the ultimate authority. The highest state official in Iran is the Supreme Leader.
The Supreme Leader:

• Appoint non-governmental directors, foundations and tv/radio directors
• Position Currently filled by Ali Khammenei
• Intended to be an ayatollah (religious figure similar to Pope) of the entire community
• Appointed for Life
• Interpret the meaning of the Shari'a
• Eliminate Political Candidates
• Dismiss the President
• Command armed forces
• Nominate 6 members to the Guardian Council
• Appoints bonyads

Opposed to the President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad:

• Cheif Executive
• Second highest state official after Supreme Leader
• Devise Budget
• Supervise Economy
• Propose legislation
• Sign treaties, laws and agreements
• Chairs National Security Council
• Select VP and Cabinet

Basically the President has to fall in line with what the Supreme Leader wants done. So if we were to assassinate any official from Iran, it would be the Supreme Leader. However the Assembly of Religious Councils (86 members) would just appoint a new Shi'ite Supreme Leader.

So killing any one individual really won't change anything with Iran. Truth be told many citizens of Iran are not as extreme as their government, many have talked about hoping to start a revolution in Iran, however that is easier said than done.

He is just trying to find someone on the same level as himself to have a conversation with.

you guys are real brave discussing politics on a forum where 75% of the members agree with you. Always nice to have SOMEONE give you a pat on the shoulder right? Heaven forbid you actually have to back up your claims.
