MEMRI has the latest here from the "man of peace" and the left's biggest rock star since Che, Imadinnerjacket;

Iran President Ahmadinejad: 'I Have a Connection With God, Since God Said That the Infidels Will Have No Way to Harm the Believers'; 'We Have [Only] One Step Remaining Before We Attain the Summit of Nuclear Technology'; The West 'Will Not Dare To Attack Us'

[...] October 14, 2006, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated that he had a connection with God, and promised that Iran would continue to develop nuclear energy, and would not give in to the West's demand to suspend its uranium enrichment "even for one single day."

The parts of Ahmadinejad's address regarding his connection with God were reported by the independent Iranian news agency Iran News, which is active within Iran, on October 15, 2006, under the title "A Different Report by Iran News on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's New Shocking Address at the Iftar of the Engineers Union."

The reformist daily Aftab-e Yazd reported that Ahmadinejad had said in his address that Iran "must stand firm [in its nuclear policy]; we have one more step, and if we pass that, this [matter] will be attained."(3)

In that speech, Ahmadinejad underlined the West's inability to act: "The enemy will never confront us. An attack on Iran is nonsense."(5)

The following are the main points of the Iran News report of Ahmadinejad's Iftar speech:(6)

The Second Islamic Revolution

"...I told you that the second wave of the [1979 Islamic] Revolution has already begun [with my election to the presidency in 2005], and that it is bigger and more terrible than the first..."(7)

 Ahmadinejad: Israel "Cannot Continue Its Existence"
Iranian President Ahmadinejad on Thursday continued his harsh rhetoric against Israel and termed the Jewish state "the greatest insult to human dignity," ISNA news agency reported. "We have said several times that this regime cannot continue its existence," he said. "No Middle East country would ever, not even in a hundred years, acknowledge this regime." (DPA)

Thousands of Iranians chanting "Death to Israel" marched through central Tehran Friday to mark an annual day calling for Jerusalem to be handed to the Palestinians. "My wish and my hope is that Palestine will triumph and Israel will be destroyed," said civil servant Salman Abbas-Nejad, 51, who brought an effigy of an Israeli soldier to burn.
    An initiative started by Iran's revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khomeini, Quds Day annually draws thousands of Iranians to the streets to denounce Israel, which Iran does not recognize. Similar demonstrations are being organized in Beirut by the Iranian-backed Hizballah movement, and in Gaza under the auspices of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.

"On the nuclear issue, I have said to my friends on many occasions, 'Don't worry. They [i.e. the Westerners] are only making noise.' But my friends don't believe [me], and say, 'You are connected to some place!' I always say: 'Now the West is disarmed vis-à-vis Iran [on the nuclear issue], and does not know how to end this matter [with us].' But my friends say: 'You are uttering divine words! Then they will laugh at us!'

"Believe [me], legally speaking, and in the eyes of public opinion, we have absolutely succeeded. I say this out of knowledge. Someone asked me: 'So and so said that you have a connection.' I said: 'Yes, I have.' He asked me: 'Really, you have a connection? With whom?' I answered: 'I have a connection with God,' since God said that the infidels will have no way to harm the believers. Well, [but] only if we are believers, because God said: You [will be] the victors. But the same friends say that Ahmadinejad says strange things.

"If we are [really] believers, God will show us victory, and this miracle. Is it necessary today for a female camel to emerge from the heart of the mountain so that my friends will accept the miracle?(8) Wasn't the [Islamic] Revolution [enough of] a miracle? Wasn't the Imam [Ayatollah Khomeini] a miracle?... "


Iran's Nuclear Policy

"They (Westerners) did two ugly things. First, they attacked Lebanon in order to extract concessions from us [i.e. Iran]. Second, they took the [nuclear] issue to the [U.N.] Security Council. Of course, now they are sunk in a quagmire, and don't know what to do with us. We, for our part, did not retreat one millimeter. First, because if we retreat [even] a little, that is, if we agree to suspend [uranium enrichment even] for a single day, they will say that the Iranians retreat under pressure. And second, if we do this, they will tell the entire world that the Iranians have finally stopped their [uranium] enrichment. Didn't we stop the enrichment in the previous round [of talks]? What did we gain by that?...

"I say that now, by the grace of God, we have gone most of the way; be confident that they will not dare to attack us."


Attitude Towards the U.S. and Bush

"... The president of America is like us. That is, he too is inspired... but [his] inspiration is of the satanic kind. Satan gives inspiration to the president of America...

"[With regard to the news that U.S. aircraft carriers have been sent to the Persian Gulf,] I say to you now to let your minds be at ease. If two warships come, let them come... Why did you say nothing two months ago, when 140 of their warships left? Actually, I think that the fact that they are coming means that there is no possibility that anything will happen.

Ahmadjihadi just won't quit. He is so confident that Allah is going to take care of those nasty infidels. Well he is right about Eurabia. Mark Steyn is right, it is America alone. Pretty much cvery other Western country except Australia has turned into a pusillnimous dhimmi.
