Ahmadinejad calls for US leaders to be 'buried'
By ALI AKBAR DAREINI (AP) – 46 minutes ago

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's president Sunday called for U.S. leaders to be "buried" in response to what he says are American threats of military attack against Tehran's nuclear program.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is known for brash rhetoric in addressing the West, but in a speech Sunday he went a step further using a deeply offensive insult in response to U.S. statements that the military option against Iran is still on the table.

"May the undertaker bury you, your table and your body, which has soiled the world," he said using language in Iran reserved for hated enemies.

Several top U.S. officials including Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff have said in recent months that the military option remains on the table and there is a plan to attack Iran, although a military strike has been described as a bad idea.

US has 'dragged the world in mud' says Ahmadinejad
(AFP) – 2 hours ago

TEHRAN — Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad launched a vitriolic tirade against the United States and Israel on Sunday as he cast fresh doubt on the September 11 attacks, state media reported.

"They have such nerve to threaten us and say all options are on the table. May the undertaker take you, your tables... away as you have dragged the world in mud," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying in a speech.

The United States and Israel accuse Iran of seeking nuclear weapons and have never ruled out a military strike to curb Tehran's atomic drive. Iran maintains its atomic programme has peaceful aims.

"We have hundreds of unanswered questions about the September 11 incident to which they should respond, and we will not back down on this," Ahmadinejad said in the speech marking the start of a housing project outside Tehran.

1. Is this a native colloquialism that sounds worse to anyone who isn't familiar with Iran

and their traditional customs and smack talking?

[rug]

4. Kruschev said the same thing 50 years ago.

[slackmaster]

8. Kruschev said it with STYLE and grace and class. Kruschev was a friend of mine.

Ahmedinejad is no Kruschev.

[Xipe Totec]

19. Kruschev meant "we will attend your funeral"

Meaning that the Soviet Union would outlive the United States.

That's quite a different message.

[Jackpine Radical]

21. Thanks.

You saved my having to say that.

However, even at the time, most Americans heard it as a death threat.

[ixion]

2. See, because it's okay for the US to threaten Iran, but for Iran to respond

is "brash" and a "vitriolic tirade"

[mbperrin]

13. Yep, that whole thing about national sovereignty and such is only

for 'Murikans.

American exceptionalism - promoting global destruction one country at a time.

[TheIdiot]

22. I must have missed the part where we said...

that Iranians must simply die. Guess i'd better go do some research...

[boppers]

28. The threat of a nuclear strike, invasion, etc.

The US has been quite blustery about "all options" being on the table.

[ixion]

34. our language is different, but the meaning is the same: "the military option"

is how it is phrased by the US government, but the end result is the same.

[tomm2thumbs]

3. I think that's pretty much where everyone ends up...

what is it they say about death & taxes?

[DinahMoeHum]

5. Who gives a farting fuck what that c*ck-wagging blowhard thinks?

Sheesh.

:evilfrown:

[onehandle]

6. 'Please invade us.' nt

[slackmaster]

7. Pardon my native colloquialism that isn't as bad as it sounds to a non-American...

Phone-pole sodomize that bullshit asshole tinpot dictator.

[Codeine]

9. Oh fuck that silly little troll doll. nt

[CJvR]

10. Hehe!

He is probably a bit grumpy that his A-bomb program caught the Stuxnet bug.

[sonomak]

11. Ahmadinejad and his mullahs need to be gone

One of these days the Iranian people are gonna send them to the crane

[RBInMaine]

12. He sounds like a TeaBagger.

[onehandle]

14. And looks like a Middle-Eastern George W. Bush.

Including the squint and smirk.

Not to mention the stolen election

[Warren Stupidity]

15. The alternative is cremation? left for buzzards?

Time for the Bombiran song.

[Amonester]

16. Who is this ALI AKBAR DAREINI? Greedy? How much?

"The speech was broadcast by both state television and the official English-language Press TV, but the latter glossed over the insult in the simultaneous translation."

Like the U.S. can afford a bigger (and endless) clusterf*ck to profit only the ruling class...

18. Fatuous

He does not need any enemies; he has himself.

He is not prepared to have a diplomatic conversation with the USA.

[EFerrari]

20. Um, the United States has repeatedly snubbed Iran's efforts

at diplomacy. The fatuousness is not one sided.

[TheIdiot]

23. WTF? I thought the president...

reached out to Islam... like about a hundred times. So, which is it?

[EFerrari]

26. Well, this president is "reaching out" with drones that mostly kill civilians

right now. But the previous president ignored several gestures of reconciliation by the Iranians. I don't recall if there have been any since Obama took office. This State Department hasn't really distinguished itself from the previous one, in any case.

[creon]

35. neither side

Neither side is ready to talk to each other. That is not surprising considering the bad blood between the two.

It will be a long time before either party will be willing to talk to the other.

[bherrera]

31. I think the US does not want to talk to Iran

Iran did suggest they hold talks. The USA has refused to do this. It is routine for the USA to follow an anti-USA diplomacy, because its politicians are driven by powerful lobbies. This is your fault, Americans. You should learn to take care of yourselves, and stop attacking other countries.

[guyton]

24. Pretend for a minute, that you were in charge of a small country near Iraq ...

Ok, pretend for a minute that you were in charge of a small country, with lots of oil, near Iraq, and sorta couldn't help but notice that the US invaded on completely illegal grounds. Preventative war? I believe that used to be called "first strike" and is a war crime.

And then you note that the people who are responsible for it are all unapologetic braggarts, with no fear of being tried and convicted for their crimes and the hundreds of thousands of deaths that they are responsible for.

Wouldn't it behove you to get nuclear weapons to keep from being invaded? Wouldn't it be a moral compulsion to defend yourself and your country?

There's more than a simple moral reason to go after our war criminals. The ramifications are continuing.

[TheIdiot]

25. yeah, it's ok if WE go after our war criminals...

we are, after all, a nation of laws, are we not?

i just have a problem with our gutless fucking "leaders" allowing an insane asshole to go nuclear and using Shrub as cover.

[RZM]

32. Iran is not a 'small country'

It is one of the larger and more powerful countries in the region. I don't think they were particularly scared by the 2003 invasion -- actually, it's been argued they privately welcomed it, since it removed their most worrisome enemy and opened the door to future influence as Iraq's leadership became more Shi'a and the US forces left, both of which became inevitable once the Sunnis were booted from power and some level of democracy was introduced. Part of their motivation for wanting nuclear weapons is deterrence no doubt, but it's also about throwing their weight around and asserting dominance over the smaller Sunni Arab countries in the region, all of whom lack nuclear weapons and don't much care for Iran. Iran is not some defenseless lamb -- for a long, long time, many Iranian leaders (and regular people) have seen their country as a great power, even if outsiders don't.

27. They should be "Bound in bitter chains beneath the wide-weyed earth."

Well, I would have tried a bit of Hesiod.

29. "Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones."

Rocking it "prince of peace" style:

[unkachuck]

30. "May the undertaker bury you, your table and your body, which has soiled the world,"

....I don't think he likes us....

[roamer65]

33. Sounds like he's trying to start WW3.
