Breaking: Ahmadinejad to resign

are you following the story? I have not provided any updates as the situation between him and Khameini is very tense. I am waiting for one of them to blink.

Hey, thanks for this enlightening article. Seems as if someone at AP did her/his homework.

Whoa! Just a few weeks ago someone (I can't remember who) and I were talking about the best avatars ever (agreeing it was yours) and wondering where you had been.

Absolutely amazing avatar, to be sure!

good one....

The person who originally submitted the article (which turns out to be her very OWN article) put it in the "News" group. After a couple of days, someone else apparently added it to the "Comedy" group. This happens. And since the whole article (especially the damn headline) is a fake, the submission really does "deserve" to be in the latter group, don't you agree?

I agree with you. Comedy!

because comedy delivers the best news..

It is not fake because Ahmadinejad was asked to resign. The article specifically stated that the report was unconfirmed and offered supporting evidence.

"Ahmadinejad to resign" is what you wrote. You did not write "Admadinejad ASKED to resign." And it wasn't "breaking" news, really. "Breaking" would be when he hopefully DOES resign.

Just like every American president since Andrew Jackson.

yes, of course... but he dared to cross Khameini; that is not common nor desirable if you want to stay in power.

Justz: see above. And hold your fire. You may be killing a good investigative reporter.

Yeah good idea, As I stated in a reply a moment ago. Iran was a stable secular democracy until the US and England financed an overthrow in 1954... funniest name in the mix at that time Kermit Roosevelt. Check it out.

"keeps his hidden under his robes..." that and his tiny little chubby, too.

No but Khameini actually did lose his own credibility and some stature when he endorsed Ahmadinejad despite the doubt that he had won the last election. His stance compromised his approachability.

Absolutely true. Installing the Shah was the beginning of a disaster for the region. But England needed a guarantee for its oil supply, and thus ...

Is it that much different than Nancy and Ronald Reagan consulting an astrologer while Ronnie was in office?

actually jinns or djinns, which is a word that comes up often in crosswords; I never really thought they still believe in those in Persia.

Very astute

You do realize that Iran was a secular democracy. Until the US and England in 1954 financed a coup to overthrow that government and put the Shaw of Iran in power. And you wonder why they don't like us.

Well America is headed in that direction my friend. It's called the Tea Party Express.

So glad that you read as much as you do....teach the others.

Depends on WHO he is replaced with ... and what their plans are . This could be bad .

I agree. But this change is absolutely necessary!

You should keep in mind that Ahmadinejad is one of the most progressive presidents that Iran has had - though we certainly might not view him as such. The real leader is the supreme Ayatollah, and I'd much prefer Ahmadinejad to stay in power. Though, like Artemis said, we'll have to see who replaces him.

The religious leaders have the real power there , so , i think not .... It is just a show of power by THEM ....

Israel would be a much happier camper, that's for sure.

Well this could be the timing for that Green Revolution that was so violently aborted..

Same here.

Why is it that left wing governments always turn into villains to certain types of people?
Just because a country is left wing doesn't make it evil. You have to let go of the cold war- time has moved on. Don't be a stupid dinosaur.

Thanks for correct country, although one hand washes the other.

I might be a dinosaur but not stupid. If I was a condemned man and I had a perfect place as far away from the crazies , that's (Venezuela not costa rica) where I'd go. I'm intrigued how you got so riled up from my comment, I buy from citgo all the time and I have a $64.89 receipt

Which 'Left Wing' government are you referring to? I'm confused, but that's easy to do.

OR where the hell Venezuela is located!

Thanks for Apology. Apologies are rare...

Listen, if all these dudes head to Caracas, then we can get them all when we go for Chavez.

Do you think the Obama pitch to Brazil worked?

so nice to see you here again..

Very true, but it still doesn't change the fact that what their government is today is extremely horrible, no matter what the initial reasons for that were.

-Their GOVERNMENT is bad. This is an important distinction. Too many people think of the country as evil and dehumanize the population.

Right, right, right!

You are mistaken. It is a phonetic rendering, there is no set way of spelling it in our alphabet. The same thing goes for Russian names. My family name can be spelled a dozen different ways in the Latin alphabet, but only one way in the Russian alphabet.

You saying that tells me you've never watched Al Jazeera in your life. Do yourself a favor and put the movie 'Control Room' in your Netflix cue...you might actually be able to comment intelligently after watching it.

THERE you go! REAL news!

I also know for a fact -- because I heard it on the commuter train -- that Ahmadinejad is adopting four blind children from Mumbai.

I thought so, too!

I know it must suck to live in Cleveland, but lighten up, beyotch!

Thanks! I can see a lot of people take themselves REALLY SERIOUSLY on this site!

If this wasn't so funny, I'd love to see that happen. In Farsi.

That movie reinforced the feeling for me that I had been watching al-Jazeera for the right reasons. It was excellent. Plus their coverage of the Arab Spring, especially that of Egypt was topnotch. They were just awarded the 2011 Columbia U prize for journalism for that coverage. And they deserve it.!

That is really unecessary...because you don't read enough you don 't know enough

WHAT is "really unnecessary*?"

ASSumptions can be foolhardy, and you've just made one of me. Why so antagonistic? You made a mistake, and it's okay to admit that. I'd admire you more if you did so.

.

*correct spelling

But I have been more than forthcoming in providing more info for the skeptics. So far, everything reported is accurate. He has not yet resigned, but was given an ultimatum and is mulling it over. The Ayatollah has asked him to resign. There are no assumptions made here, as the statements are supported by other articles in British and Farsi media.

Assumption... as in what you wrote about me, which is: "... because you don't read enough you don't know enough" -- can't make it plainer than that.

And, still... WHAT is "really unnecessary," I ask again.

Um, yeah, just a "LITTLE misleading"...

Why don't you refer to the list posted by Vierotchka. Seems to me she's better informed, or has better resources.

It says "see a psychologist."

I don't care what Pakistan says, they knew BL was there. They didn't want to lose the Billions we send them. If you believe a prime Minister of Pakistan over the President of the free world and our CIA you are one sick American. BL died May 1,11 at the order of our Commander-in Chief.

LOL what? If you don't believe the President or the C.I.A that makes you a sick American? Are you Drunk? Are you aware of the history of the C.I.A

Yes, too bad some "Americans" only believe other Americans.

It has nothing to do with hating obama.

you believe bush when he president or you one sick american?

this guy say what ever he can makeup to support puppet obama

Oh really? The date keeps changing, it has kept changing over the past ten years.

Thanks. Reading the comments, I see the hate. Sad for America. I'll run when i see there name. Al Queda is scary!.

I corrected my wrong date. Still had April on the calender. He died May 1, 2011. If I put it any where else it will be wrong.,but only by two days.

I must say, you are astute!
