Idiots
It's this kind of crap from the Washington Post:
Rafsanjani, a millionaire and moderate cleric, has emphasized his negotiating credentials as a "pragmatic conservative."
And this kind of crap from Reuters:
Moderate cleric Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani held a narrow lead on Saturday in Iran's presidential election, but was far short of outright victory, with an unprecedented run-off vote now certain, officials said.
And this kind of crap from the BBC:
The second round pits pragmatic cleric Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a who led the country until 1997, against hardline conservative Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
... that just drives me insane about MSM Middle East coverage. Ladies and gentlemen, the moderate and pragmatic Rafsanjani:
One of Iran’s most influential ruling cleric called Friday on the Muslim states to use nuclear weapon against Israel, assuring them that while such an attack would annihilate Israel, it would cost them "damages only".
"If a day comes when the world of Islam is duly equipped with the arms Israel has in possession, the strategy of colonialism would face a stalemate because application of an atomic bomb would not leave any thing in Israel but the same thing would just produce damages in the Muslim world", Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani told the crowd at the traditional Friday prayers in Tehran.
Analysts said not only Mr. Hashemi-Rafsanjani’s speech was the strongest against Israel, but also this is the first time that a prominent leader of the Islamic Republic openly suggests the use of nuclear weapon against the Jewish State.
These are the same people who accuse Bush of being a war-monger.
