Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gave the following remarks on the Iranian News Channel IRINN TV on June 2, 2008:
"Our beloved Imam [Khomeini], you commanded that the arrogant [powers] of the world must be destroyed. You commanded that the global rule of hegemony must be removed. I'd like to say that thanks to your illuminating presence, thanks to your guidance, thanks to your ardent and divine words, thanks to the continuance of your illuminating rule, and thanks to the steadfastness of the Iranian people, today, the cruel and arrogant [powers] have reached a total dead end, and thanks to God, the countdown for the decline of America's demonic power has begun."
"The Zionist regime has lost its raison d'être. Today, the Palestinians identify with your name [Khomeini], your memory, and in your path. They are walking in your illuminated path, and the Zionist regime has reached a total dead end. Thanks to God, your wish will soon be realized, and this germ of corruption will be wiped off the face of the world."
During President Ahmadinejad's remarks, the audience chanted "Death to America" eight times.
I am forced to believe that Ahmaddinejad truly wants the USA destroyed. And the only reason Iran hasn't done it yet is that they are unable to accomplish it. I am also sure the countdown he mentioned is the end of President Bush's term of office.
