re: I heard last night
TB — (archived)

I've heard that a lot. That's one statement from one speech. There have been many. It's interesting how some people (like the talk radio host) will bend over backwards to cut someone like this as much slack as humanly possible. Why?

These pictures are from the big parade of war machines in Iran on the Saturday before Ahmadinejad came over here.

Ask someone who knows the language what the signs really say.

Here's a closer shot of the sign. The characters of interest are the last ones on the line in blue ink:

Most liberal commenters who are a bit farther along on this concede the phrasing of various speeches, but insist it's all just "rhetoric," and has no real meaning.

That being said, what kind of "regime change" do you suppose Ahmadinejad has in mind? I doubt it's just a change of prime ministers.
