Iran President Again Lashes Out at Israel - Yahoo! News
"He [Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] did not say how this would be achieved, but insisted to the audience of at least 900 people: 'Believe that Palestine will be freed soon. The existence of this (Israeli) regime is a permanent threat' to the Middle East, he added. 'Its existence has harmed the dignity of Islamic nations.' The three-day conference on Palestine is being attended by officials of Hamas, the ruling party in the Palestinian territories."

So we're not the only country in the world with an idiot in charge. According to Juan Cole Ahmadinejad is extremely unpopular with the Iranian people so it looks like his threats and tough talk are designed to provoke Bush into doing something really, really stupid so as to rally the nation around him and preserve his power. And also to impress the visiting Hamas officials. Digby says Bush has already started doing something really, really stupid and I'm afraid he may be right. If Sy Hersh can find these things out why can't someone ANYONE in Congress find out and try to put a stop to it?
