THIS is why israel hearts ahmadinejad

How Convenient Is THIS?????? Really? Could he *possibly* lay Iran more carefully on the sacrificial altar? Then again, what did he actually say? Could we please have the full text and a translation? Apparently it's all so "sketchy" except for the part where he says the most inflammatory things, that part is apparently not "sketchy." Weird, huh? - Ed.

amid protests, iran leader calls holocaust a myth

LONDON — Courting renewed international criticism, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran on Friday called the Holocaust a myth as his country marked an annual pro-Palestinian demonstration amid reports of clashes between his supporters and opposition protesters.

With sketchy accounts filtering past official media controls.....

In a speech to a pro-Palestinian rally, which also fell on the eve of the Jewish New Year, Mr. Ahmadinejad called confrontation with “the Zionist regime” a “national and religious duty,” news reports said.

Mr. Ahmadinejad said the Israeli “regime has no future. Its life has come to an end,” Reuters reported.

Mr. Ahmadinejad made similar remarks after his first election as president in 2005. But, coming only days before scheduled talks between his government and western powers, his latest denial of the Holocaust seemed likely to cast a cloud over those discussions.

She [CLINTON] said the meeting, to be held Oct. 1, would fulfill President Obama’s pledge to engage with Iran. But she insisted that the United States would not be drawn into a lengthy and fruitless diplomatic dance with Iran, as some analysts have warned.

“We have no illusions about the Iranian government,” Mrs. Clinton said. “The point is to meet and explain to the Iranians, face to face, the choices that Iran has, and to see whether Iran is prepared to engage.”

They seem to know already that diplomacy will be FRUITLESS. So once the 10/1 meeting takes place they can express "regret" that diplomacy failed, as prearranged, and then proceed to attack Iran, because of course there will be "No Choice," seeing as Ahmadinejad made all these terrible threatening remarks, *again.* - ed.
