And More Lunacy from the President of Iran
Now this is scary. This clown thinks he is the Islamic messiah. (Another one courtesy of Boker tov, Boulder!):
“When addressing the United Nations in September, Mr. Ahmadinejad flummoxed his audience of world political leaders by concluding his address with a prayer for the Mahdi’s appearance: ‘O mighty Lord, I pray to you to hasten the emergence of your last repository, the Promised One, that perfect and pure human being, the one that will fill this world with justice and peace.’
Here’s a clue - he’s not talking about the Second Coming of Jesus here.
On returning to Iran from New York, Mr. Ahmadinejad recalled the effect of his U.N. speech:
[One] of our group told me that when I started to say ‘In the name of God the almighty and merciful,’ he saw a light around me, and I was placed inside this aura. I felt it myself. I felt the atmosphere suddenly change, and for those 27 or 28 minutes, the leaders of the world did not blink. And they were rapt. It seemed as if a hand was holding them there and had opened their eyes to receive the message from the Islamic republic.”
No, I think it dawned on the assembled delegates that they were in the presence of a genuine madman with nukes. Can we talk preemption here?
