And again: Khameni calls Israel a 'cancerous tumor' and promises to 'remove' it
For those who continue to delude themselves that Iran really just wants to have a nuclear weapon but not use it, please listen to the words of Iranian religious leader Ayatollah Ali Khameni, and tell me what other interpretation they can have other than a literal one. "The Zionist regime is a cancerous tumor and it will be removed," Teheran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Friday.Khameni also had some kind words for the United States and its 98-pound weakling leader.
Khamenei addressed thousands of worshipers attending a Tehran University prayer service marking the Fajr celebration.
The Iranian Revolution brought freedom and dignity to Iranian people and "destroyed the anti-Islamic regime, and brought Islamic regime instead… Dictatorship was changed to democracy," he said.
Khamenei further downplayed the possibility of a United States' strike on the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities: "A war would be 10-times deadlier for the Americans… These threats indicate America's weakness and the Americans need to know that the more threats they make, the more they damage themselves."Okay, so I agree with the second half of the last sentence: The US should stop talking and just do it.
And lest you think that sanctions are having an effect...
He also dismissed the West's sanctions on Iran, saying that they will not make Iran forfeit its nuclear ambitions: "They said they would impose crippling sanctions to punish us, but the sanctions are good for us – they make us rely on our own talented people."The crowd ended the rally with a rousing chant of 'death to Israel.'
He also reiterated Iran's threat to close the Strait of Hormuz, saying that "when the time comes we will execute our warning."
70 years ago, another madman threatened to murder all the World's Jews. The civilized nations of the world decided that Adolph Hitler was mad and did nothing about him - did not even try to do anything about him - until it was too late. Will the same thing happen again, God forbid?

He's channeling Tom Friedman.
Courtesy of a thread entitled Not Waiting for the Asteroid at conservative Canadian blog Small Dead Animals, we're told the Comrade Journalists at the NY Times excised the threat to Israel by Supreme Ayatollah Khamenei in their coverage. Liberal downplay-the-genocide-threats agenda in play..."
