Eh – he’s probably just speaking in code:
Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, declared Sunday that Israel had “pushed the button of its own destruction” by launching its military campaign against the Iranian-backed Hizbullah in Lebanon. Ahmadinejad didn’t elaborate, but suggested Islamic nations and others could somehow isolate Israel and its main backers led by the United States. On Saturday, the chairman of Iran’s armed forced joint chiefs, Maj.-Gen. Sayyed Hassan Firuzabadi, said Iran would never join the current Middle East fighting.
We eagerly await the official State Department explanation as to why Ahmadinejad is just playing power politics and how he doesn’t really mean what he says. Because it’s so inconceivable that a tyrannical thug threatening to wipe out 6 million Jews would mean what he says. That’s just insane.
