When Arundhati Roy, Gabriel Garcia Marquez or Salman Rushdie pen works of vaulting fantasy coexisting side-by-side with pedestrian reality and none of the plot characters recognize the inherent contradictions we celebrate their efforts as high art.
When Ol’ Beady Eyes announces that he’s spinning up another six thousand centrifuges while casually opining that 9/11 was, you know – an inside job – well. The imagination wanders:
Turning his attention to the 11 September 2001 attacks on the US, Mr Ahmadinejad said: “On the pretext of this incident a major military operation was launched and oppressed Afghanistan was attacked…
He also alleged the names of the people killed in the attacks on New York’s World Trade Center had never been published.
And he added: “How is it possible that with the best radar systems and intelligence networks the planes could crash undetected into the towers?”
The only thing more terrifying than hearing this goombah say these things is the idea that he might actually believe them.
Believe them he does. Remember this is the same guy who thinks he has a personal connection to the 12th imam, and that when he addressed the UN, the whole audience was “hypnotized” by him. Believe it he does, and that only makes him more dangerous.

I can already hear somebody yelling, “MEDIC, We”ve got somebody who drank all of the kool-aid!” The medic says, “Hurry, this man needs open heart surgery. Where’s the wood stake and a big hammer?”
Big lies and little minds, rinse, repeat,
pogroms and final solutions,
big lies and little minds, rinse, repeat…
I don’t care what he says. I don’t care if he believes it.
What is troubling is the fact that the U.S. once again lacks the will to act in her own self interest. So, once again, we will have to pay the butcher’s bill.
Don’t worry. Obama’s gonna talk him outta 3-4000 of them pesky things. You know- use his lawyerly persuasion skills…
Cynically lol.

I’m with ASM826 – how much longer will America sit idly by while Iran starts to take over Iraq.
A friend of mine at work used to work at Homeland Security; he was recruited on 9/12/01, having worked at the Pentagon as a civilian for about 10 years. The few stories he can share are quite revealing and very interesting.
With his experiences in that agency, with all that he knows about this nation’s internal security – he says without question or doubt that we will suffer another terrorist attack and it will be sooner rather than later. And much as I don’t want to believe him – I do. It’s far too easy with so many options available.
And with Iran standing at the head of the line, waiting their turn.
What Ol’ Beady Eyes believes doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is that there are too many people in the US who believe the same thing.
I’d like to know how many Iranian subjects believe the same thing. Not to mention Syrian subjects, Saudi subjects, etc.
He already has ‘em believing the Holocaust didn’t happen. It’s even easier to say 9-11 didn’t really happen or that the US government was responsible…BTW, Ron over 80% of the Muslim world thinks Israeli Mossad was behind 9-11… He also might say, Hell, just ask Oliver Stone, Bill Maher, Rev Wright, etc.etc. or any number of “Americans”, am I right?
re ol’Beady & the Persians, I’m gonna spare y’all and I ain’t gonna go off on my typical “turning off the water and lights” for the Iranian people tome..but you know?- we either act on our own timeline or be hostage to their’s and more importantly, Israel’s….
