Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday that the state of Israel is a "stinking corpse" that is destined to disappear, the French news agency AFP reported.
"Those who think they can revive the stinking corpse of the usurping and fake Israeli regime by throwing a birthday party are seriously mistaken," the official IRNA news agency quoted Ahmadinejad as having said.
Ahmadinejad further stated that Israel "has reached the end like a dead rat after being slapped by the Lebanese" - referring to the Second Lebanon War in the summer of 2006.
"Today the reason for the Zionist regime's existence is questioned and this regime is on its way to annihilation."

I know many Iranians, and almost all of them hate Ahmedinejad (and the Ayatollahs for that matter).

If Ahamdinjead is such a hard ass then step up and go to war with Isreal, and Isreal don't freaking ask us for help, handle something on your own.

For all of Ahmadinejad's faults you have got to admit he has a colourful way with words. I am sure you could write a book on all the insults he has made against Israel, the US and the West in general.

So, just in case his sentiments were not clear enough in 2005 when he called for Israel to be wiped off the map
"Today the reason for the Zionist regime's existence is questioned, and this regime is on its way to annihilation," he said.

I would like to see in quote where he refers to "Israel" and not "zionist regime" as the target of his 'annihilation' comments.
Seems the only time "Israel" is mentioned is in everything BUT what he actually says from what I can find on this being reported.
"Today the reason for the Zionist regime's existence is questioned, and this regime is on its way to annihilation," he said.
Or are we still going with the zionists = Israel thing 'round here when it (is twisted and) fits ?

As far as Israel is concerned, they don't need help from us; they have done a pretty good job over the last sixty years in defending themselves, thank you very much.
