I remember hearing that before.
Oh yes, I think Bush called it,
the war on terrorism.

Beat me to it man..

Its cool we talk all kinda crap but when a nation is defending itself against bullies then its a problem when someone says that?

AH I think you're on to something! It would be the biggest media event in world history. It could start out with a few audience questions to get them warmed up and then it's on to the ramdom questions. An independent system takes over that randomly picks internet, smartphone, voicemail questions and really put them on the spot.

Now that's entertainment!

You have to give Ahmadinejad credit for that one

Today Western media are propaganda agents who continuously speak about democracy and human rights though their slogans are sheer lies," he said.

These statements always remind me of the brat who is about to get decimated in a schoolyard brawl but who, for some reason, just cannot bring himself to stop talking/ even as the fists are landing on his face.

Others call it School Yard Bullying..So you are close and it's usually the Bully that is the antagonist...

You warn them once and you are giving out a warning.
You warn them twice and you are enforcing that warning.
You warn them three times you sound as hawkish as your opponent.
You warn them any more times and you sound like you are the one wanting the war and/or attention.

I have long defended Ahmadinejad for just wanting to defend his country and he has every right to that nuclear program. But now this is just getting ridiculous, all of these people talking the same old lines trying to sound like some hero in their respective nations and they are sounding like nothing more than children caught up in their own argument to impress others and everyone else has already walked away.

Fortunately I'm old enough to remember the Carter administration and the entire Iran hostage fiasco. These folks have been poking the sleeping lion for a LONG time.

And if a kid wanders around school talking smack about how easily he could beat the bully... Well eventually the bully is going to show up and call him out on it.

IMO, he is just saving face...
He is being condemmed from all sides with little proof of their claims..
The OP is quick to point out this one interview but doesn't mention the earlier interview on the same show where Hilary Clinton didn't exactly hard back on critisism...

It was obviously staged.

This whole war business is nothing but a game...

Except that the bully is in on the whole thing.

The bully can just waltz right in.

Don't buy into this garbage.

Another Ahmadinejad diatribe? Yawn... Doesn't that poor little wheasel know that if you cry wolf (sorry, "Death to Israel!") too many times, people stop listening,
Perhaps he should spend his efforts on his country's economy instead, Iranian inflation is going through the roof.

The Iran hostage issue reminds me of why the US invaded Afghanistan, because they refused to hand over OBL, worse actually because OBL has never been officially linked to 9/11...

The students vowed not to release the Americans until the U.S. returned the Shah for trial, along with billions of dollars they claimed he had stolen from the Iranian people.

Theres more about the CIA messing in Irans affairs etc bhut you already know all that...

funny you should mention that.
I was around during Carter as well.
And little do the newbies around here
know that the CIA under Carter was
responsible for putting the Shah of Iran
in power to begin with.

Those American hostages were held by rebels
seeking retribution for the CIA's
overthrow of the previous government.
From the best of my recollection
that's how it went.

It would be so embarrassing for Obama, the head of the world's biggest hypocritical nation to stand against Ahmadinejad, no chance at all..

I can imagine Obama running towards his room in the (white) house, jumping in his double king size bed (which must be white) and hugging his (white) pillow and sobbing all night.

Mohammad Rezā Shāh Pahlavi, Shah of Iran, (Persian: محمدرضا شاه پهلوی [mohæmˈmæd reˈzɒː ʃˈɒːhe pæhlæˈviː]; 26 October 1919 – 27 July 1980), was the emperor of Iran from 16 September 1941, until his overthrow by the Iranian Revolution on 11 February 1979. He was the second and last monarch of the House of Pahlavi of the Iranian monarchy. Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi held several titles: His Imperial Majesty, Shahanshah (King of Kings,[1] Emperor), Aryamehr (Light of the Aryans) and Bozorg Arteshtārān (Head of the Warriors,[2] Persian: بزرگ ارتشتاران).

Carter didn't have anything to do with putting the Shah into power.

Nor did the CIA which wasn't formed until 09/18/1947.

The OSS may well have played a part in his placement. But not Carter, or the CIA, or the CIA under Carter.
