As Iran was testing long range missiles – which, as Matt Drudge underscored in his headline, ‘can reach Israel’—Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad “dismissed fears that Israel and the United States could be preparing to attack his country, calling the possibility a ‘funny joke.’”
Yeah, but is anyone laughing? I doubt it, but the sheer craziness of this guy is scary – especially if you’re an Iranian. After all, the US is sending in terrorist operatives, and daily threatening war, while a resolution calling for a blockade of their country is likely to be approved by the US Congress. So what does their President have to say?: “’I assure you that there won’t be any war in the future,’ Ahmadinejad told a news conference Tuesday during a visit to Malaysia for a summit of developing Muslim nations.”
Whatever Senor Ahmadinejad is smoking, I want some. In any case, this does nothing for his reputation as a hard-liner.
