Iran condemned over anti-Israel remark, regime unrepentant - Yahoo! News
TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran was hit by a barrage of Western condemnation after its hardline president called for Israel to be "wiped off the map", but the clerical regime struck back with yet more verbal attacks against the Jewish state.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech, delivered Wednesday at a conference entitled "The World without Zionism", came just hours before a suicide bombing in Israel and provoked fresh fears that Iran has a covert nuclear weapons programme.
The European Union said Thursday that the comments -- the first time in years that such a high-ranking Iranian official has openly called for Israel's annihilation -- were "despicable and unacceptable" and "inconsistent with any claim to be a mature and responsible member of the international community".
Whoops...give them fella's a taste of power...and if leading the EUrinals on one merry chase after another isn't empowering than nothing else is...and watch the rhetoric swell to epic proportions. It's also, you see, a way of making the rest of the world, well, Europe at least, think that they've got some spunk behind their words, when everyone knows they've got a military that the Jews could wipe off the face of the earth in nanoseconds if push every came to shove.
Posture, incite, then strap hand grenades under baby carriages because your boys aren't up to snuff when it comes to doing business with a real army.
And psst...Iran DOES have a nuclear weapons program and the only reason any sane person would refer to it as covert is because the EUrinals refuse to see the forest for alla them stupid trees. Oh, they weren't trees, they were missile silos? My bad.
