HA HA HA! Iran is a threat to my armpit and that's about it!

[Don Corleone]

Hoy maloy. Okay, you got me, Tribesman. Since he doesn't give speeches in English, President Ahmadinejad never technically used the phrase 'wiped off the map'. What he has said in Farsi has been translated to mean that, however.

I mean, Spiegel, that CIA propganda machine, can't be telling the truth.
Hmmm

And Micheal Bloomberg is Jewish, so this MUST be part of the Zionist conspiracy:
Double Hmm.

And dammit all, Mossad must have infiltrated The Independent. Hmm yet again.

But hey, I'm sure you're right. He has no hostility, poses no threat to Israel. I mean, when he says: Israel will disappear, he really means "what a nice bunch of young Jewish lads over there".

So, much like there are "No homosexuals in Iran", there surely is nothing for Israel to fear.

He doesn't pose any threat to Israel, besides working with Hezbollah. Why?

1) Iran is not strong enough. Any attack on Israel will meet a response along the lines of creating a new resort on the side of Lake Tehran.
2) Iran is not that stupid.

Well done Don , in trying to defend your "quote" that was never said you go on to use another "quote" that was never said
Hey Don you can provide whole volume of news articles using those same words , but if they are not what was said they are not what was said .
BTW it isn't a "technicality" as you put it . It is simply that what you are using in "" is not what was said in any language .
BTW2 can you guess who it was that dinnerjacket was quoting ? as in quoting not "quoting" when he said that , a good clue might be found in your 4th link .

I don't know what you're trying to say, Tribesman, and I'm in no mood to try to figure it out.

Sometimes you're not supposedly allegedly negatively inversely the opposite of the converse of the obstruction of the obtusion of something and you should definitely maybe possibly invariably unlikely know just what that something might be.

Yep, understood you too there, Chief. Iran poses no threat to anybody. Ajay is all about peace.

Iran is hardly a peaceful nation, but I disagree that they're a significant threat. They're just not powerful enough to stand up to Israel alone, much less America and Israel.

But, if you translate it instead as "Israel should vanish from the pages of history" it just sounds so much nicer than 'wiped off the map'. Totally changes the meaning doesnt it?

But as that isn't what was said either what was your point again ?
Come on Xiahou give the proper quote and then try and explain how your governments stance on the issue is so very different

[Don Corleone]

So reading the link that EMFM supplied (thank you, btw) in post #35, Iran's offiical information minsitry said that what Ajay said meant was 'wipe Israel off the map', turns out it doesn't, Tribesman is on everyone for not speaking fluent Farsi so that we would know what Ajay actually said, and Idaho blames the USA and Israel in an anti-Iranian propaganda move for the misunderstanding.

God I love the Backroom on Friday afternoons. Makes me really need that quittin time beer.

A big charade? Yes.
A threat to Israel and US interests? Undecided.

Ahmadinejad has clarified his statement time and again. Because I don't want to do the work that the usual rightwing suspects in this thread are too lazy for, let me just point to the Wiki:

Speaking at a D-8 summit meeting in July 2008, when asked to comment on whether he has called for the destruction of Israel he denied that his country would ever instigate military action, there being "no need for any measures by the Iranian people". Instead he claimed that "the Zionist regime" in Israel would eventually collapse on its own. "I assure you... there won't be any war in the future," both the BBC and AP quoted him as saying.

Idaho is right that the U.S. and Israel are the agressors on the ground as well as in diplomacy and in public statements. That is why Iran needs the atomic bomb. I hope Iran will demonstrate its possession of a nuclear device one of these days and then we can put this circus behind us.
