2 Corinthians 11
14And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

15Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Just what we need - RETURN OF THE MAD MADHI - remember General Gordon's last stand at Khartoum,
clutching a Bible in one hand and pistol in the other - before being killed by FANATICAL ISLAMIC
SUPPORTERS of guy proclaiming himself to Allah's
Anointed!!
Guess our little Marmaduke fella or should that read Marmeluke - not content with being President

The light surrounding him is clearly visible in this picture. The radiant beam from a Klieg light is truly a sign from Allah.

I am under the impression that hallucinations are a key sypmtom of psychosis. And 'visions' of grandeur, as those experienced by our thug-in-chief, often are associated with psychoses as well.

So now we have proof that there's people running countries out there who truly do not belong outside the psych ward. Ahmadinejad certainly qualifies.

Troubling.

Yes, they were all thinking: Why the h*ll didn't I get out while I could?

The psychosis experienced, this vision of grandeur when under the spotlight, has been identified and aptly named the Norma Desmond Syndrome.

And one hopes that this Norma/Norman Desmond, since he is so obviously ready for his close-up, discovers that his particular boulevard is Sunset, that is to say, the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

The US delegation, led by the honorable John Bolton, also had a vision and walked out on this piece of crap.

As I've said before, the only vision this ahmadi-nejad should have gotten in America is the inside of Federal holding cell. He should have been arrested as soon as he walked off the plane, and made to answer for a little event he orchestrated on American territory in Teheran 25 years ago.

Vividly. It must have gone the way of the Colgate ring of confidence, the finger of fudge (the less said about that the better), the grime that says hot when the label says not and taking two bottles into the shower even without the boil wash. Not to mention the ambassador's parties ('You are spoiling us') and 'uh-oh - foot odour'.

My brain is full to bursting with TV adverts best forgotten. One day I'm going have a purge and replace them with clever apophthegms. But not yet.

(At my local shop there's a special offer on apophthegms and naphthalene. Just no call for that kind of consonant cluster round my way.)

How come only this President could 'feel ' the light when hundreds were watching him ? Probably he has mistaken the beam light ,they flash from the UN Assembly roof top ,right on the person,who is delivering the message on the platform. No world news papers ever have mentioned about this 'misterious 'light that shone on this evil terminator!.Only the illiterate islamists willfall for such cheap gimmics. This has a similarity in how 'Prophet' Mohamed claimed he saw Angel Gabriel,who dictated the Koran to him in a lonly cave!.

sheik yer'mami said "why don't we go after their families,their mothersw,fathers,brothers and sisters?" A very practical suggession and it is the only way that works with these heartless criminals. Our civilised, bible based 'turn the other cheek 'policies will never ever work with these people,and they know fulwell,that. we will not retaliate in such a way.For instance, as sheik yer'mami suggested,after the London Subway bobmibg,if they have at least sent back the parents and siblings of the three suicide bombers,to Pakistan, without any christian mercy,it will make the 'wouldbe' suicide bombers to think a little before they embark upon such murderous acts.

Cultist Benajim Creme is said to be able to do the same, as well as many cultists throughout hisory. Of course, simple hypnosis can cause all kinds of things. But I'll leave it to the demon inside of Ahmadinejad that cause anything out of the ordinary around him.

Another jihadist recieving messages from Allah, even though Islamic teachings strictly insist that Mohammed was the last man to recieve them. I think that when they struggle to restore the caliphate OBL, the Thug-in-Chief and various other Islamic 'notables' will begin to have these delusions/hallucinations.

That is if they forget to wear their tinfoil hat.:)

Given that Ahmadi-Nejad is a dread Shia, jealous would be to understate any sentiment OBL might hold toward the Iranian Thug-in-Chief as I'm sure OBL thinks he's the new Caliph (having appointed Al-Zarqawi the Emeer of the land of two rivers). If there's been any cooperation between the Iranians and the "Sunni insurgency", Ahmadi-Nejad's publicly proclaimed delusions of grandeur may put an end to this.

Wasn't it Bush who said God had told him to invade Iraq, and that he speaks with God every week?

Posted by: Ispanan at November 30, 2005 6:44 AM

Was it not Bush who said God told him to invade Iraq?

"He should have been arrested as soon as he walked off the plane, and made to answer for a little event he orchestrated on American territory in Teheran 25 years ago."

If he should have been arrested for the hostage taking (even tough no one proved he orchestrated it or even took part in it), then why should have been done to the occidental leaders who supported Sadam against Iran, giving him weapons (even chemical weapons), resulting in 8 years of war, +1 million casualties, and the leaders who established the embargo against the Iraq population, making it starve to death from the lack of food and medicaments? Tell me. And what should be done to the CIA agents that kidnapped an eyptian citizen in Italy, tortured him, and then released him when they understood he was innocent. Tell me,what?

Posted by: Ispanan at November 30, 2005 6:54 AM

Ispanan:

I think there are a whole lot of posters here who would be only too happy to see Jimmy Carter, Nobel Lauriete, held to account for supplying Saddam with arms to get back at the Islamic Republic for taking US diplomats hostage.

People have made such allegations about Bush claiming divine instruction, but have yet to offer time, place and verbatim account. Such is not the case with the Iranian Thug-in-Chief.

As for the privations the Iraqi people suffered due to sanctions, let's have a little context here: they were imposed because of the wholy unjustified invasion of Kuwait and were kept in place in part because of Saddam's defiance and in part because Saddam was able to manipulate the sanctions to his own advantage, making out the West as the bad guys while he rose to new heights in syphoning off oil income and diverting it to the construction of palaces and mosques to his own glory, not to mention hosting terrorist conventions and training camps and providing comp for Palestinian suicide bombers. It would not surprise me in the least, when the dust finally settles around Saddam's record, to discover that not only did he have the financial means to feed his people, but that he used the sanctions systematically to damage his vulnerable enemies -- the Iraqi Shia population through starvation and the withholding of medical supplies.

FYI, about a month ago, I listened to a Radio Prague interview of a doctor from Basra who was in the Czech Republic to learn advanced medical techniques. The interviewer tried, again and again, to get the doctor to complain about the awful impact of the Coalition force's invasion, but the doctor would have none of it, pointing out that the most important thing for all Iraqis, was that Saddam was gone and while things are not good at the moment, he expected things would be much better a few years down the road.

The fact that the US once supported Saddam against another extremely ugly actor doesn't mean that they had no right or reason to come back nearly 20 years later and boot the SOB out of office. Possibly, they had an even greater duty to do so.

"I think there are a whole lot of posters here who would be only too happy to see Jimmy Carter, Nobel Lauriete, held to account for supplying Saddam with arms to get back at the Islamic Republic for taking US diplomats hostage."

What are you talking about? What does Sadam have to do with Carter and them with the irani revolution? Oh btw dont forget Reagan, who did provide weapons and chemicals to sadam and vetoed any sanction intended against him when he was gasing kurd and irani civilians (and then you condem the terrorists attacks of the 11/9)

"People have made such allegations about Bush claiming divine instruction, but have yet to offer time, place and verbatim account. Such is not the case with the Iranian Thug-in-Chief."

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2003-04-01-bush-cover_x.htm

"they were imposed because of the wholy unjustified invasion of Kuwait and were kept in place in part because of Saddam's defiance and in part because Saddam was able to manipulate the sanctions to his own advantage."

So the sanctions were kept in place because sadam was able to manipulate the sanctions. Yes, you make sense.

They were imposed because Occident intended to starve the Iraq people to make him rise against Sadam, that is why they were imposed. But this didnt work, because Sadam managed to convince the Iraq people they were the victims of Occident. And they were. And then you expected the iraqis welcome you with US banners. And dont bring up the corruption, what was forbidden to be sent to Iraq during the sanctions was not money, it was things like medicaments sadam himself would have no use about. The fact you want to blame on Sadam your own crimes you still refuse to recognize is pathetic.

when the dust finally settles around Saddam's record, to discover that not only did he have the financial means to feed his people, but that he used the sanctions systematically to damage his vulnerable enemies -- the Iraqi Shia population through starvation and the withholding of medical supplies.

Wow, after two years, a bit weird that the dust didnt already settle, right?

"He used the sanctions?" What the fuck are you talking about? Who imposed the sanctions, Occident or him?

"FYI, about a month ago, I listened to a Radio Prague interview"

Big deal. FYI I heard hundreds of interviews who say just the contrary.

"The fact that the US once supported Saddam against another extremely ugly actor doesn't mean that they had no right or reason to come back nearly 20 years later and boot the SOB out of office. Possibly, they had an even greater duty to do so."

The fact that the US supported Sadam shows you are the same garbage than bin laden. You think you can cause the misery and death of countless people and then just "correct" the error, coming back and killing even more people, and then be surprised that USA is not welcomed there? Do you think you have the right to play with humans lifes as you play with a chessboard? Did you even apologize for all the innocents you have killed? Your hipocresy is unbelievable. You hate bin laden for the terrorist attacks, but have no problem with the countless more innocents that have died because of your governments actions.

the 11/9 6000 deaths were an infamous terrorist attack, but the 100 000 civilians victims from the Iraq invasion were "colateral dammage", the +1 million iranis killed by sadam with the weapons you gave him were "the best strategy at the time" I guess the +1 million iraqis killed by your embargo were "colateral dammage" or "the best strategy" or any other politically correct word that allows you to sleep in peace and think in your folly that you are better than the islamic terrorists. High scale terrorists, this is what you actually are. To defend your "democracies" you have killed way more innocents and opressed more countries than bin laden could ever hope to do.

Ispanan, you have a memory loss...you forget that all through the centuries.. Muslims have killed each other and invaded other coutnries and killed those people.. you can start with India,...you want to look at who is suppyling who with weapons.. look at Russia, china,Norht Korea, not the least bit democratic.. well Russia is still learning... the embargo was created by the UN which is under control by many despot countries, including China and Russia.. go blame them!

Posted by: Lulu at December 1, 2005 7:46 PM

Oh, wait, and the good christians americans didn't slaughter the native people to establish themselves there, right? You are hilarious. UN under control of china and russia? what are you talking about? it was the US who suggested the sanctions, will you negate that? will you negate your country took part in the killing of thousands innocent civilians? and tell me, if its understandable that the despot countries took part in the embargo, what to say about the democratic ones?
