  2. It is funny!

    If they like him so much they can actually keep him over there as their President since we don't want him at all! He has brought us pain and nothing else

  5. Why tumultuous? Does it look out of control or disorderly? Why not enthusiastic welcome or passionate welcome?

  6. If his visit is by any means described as something positive, they risk being fired like Octavia Nassr of CNN.

  8. Anon 1:56 PM,

    It was indeed an enthusiastic welcome and passionate welcome. By use of the word tumultuous I wanted to capture the mood there, people yelling pro-Iran slogans, etc. Did not mean it in any negative way.

  9. The Lebanese people are cheering Iran and not Ahmadinejad. They would have done the same for any visiting Iranian president, for many good reasons. Viva Iran.

  10. When Mossad is arming and training the Pejvak Terror group to plant bombs and kill or kidnap people aclong Irans borders (by the way they train the PKK too)

    Then Iran has every right to generate its shadow upon Israel.

  11. I think the cheering crowds are all Hezbollah supporters. I doubt if the other people in Lebanon are so pleased by this display of Khomeinist dominance.

  13. the desperation with which western media reflect a forced upon state visit in lebanon is almost redicolus.

    all a sign somebody is pushing the right buttons.

  14. Yes I agree! I find it so amusing how often I have read this trip was planned to help Hezbollah, yet they forget to mention that Ahmadinejad is there with an invitation from Lebanon's president and not Hezbollah. Also, Ahmadinejad has very rarely even mentioned Hezbollah's name and instead pushed for a unified Lebanon.

    I read one recent article that made the comment, "looking at these thousands here to see Ahmadinejad tonight, I almost forget the thousands choosing not to come out"

    I can only respond --> Drawing straws! Drawing straws!

  15. When you give billions of dollars to hezbollah then you expect tens of thousands of radical muslims to root the hero of the islamic revolution! I love the fact that his motorcade are a bunch of American Fords and Chevy's! What a hypocrit nob he is.

  16. If the terrorist group hezbollah decide to take amadinejad out, just remember, you can't blame Israel to start a war.

  17. Again amadinejad and his puppet hassan call for the disappearance of Israel "forever" and the muslim wonder why everyone is up in arms about why amadinejad is desperately seeking nukes.

    Tehran owns Beirut, not the Lebanese gov or the leaders who protested his visit before he arrived and then praised amadinejad for his moderation.

    By forming a coalition of Iran, Syria, Turkey, the Palestinians, Lebanon, Iraq and possibly Russia and China, it's clear that amadinejad not only wants to wipeout Israel and the US but also looks to overtake all the middle east oil in the name of the shiite muslim.

    'This is what the Sovereign LORD says:

    In future years you (Persia, Cush and Put will be with them) will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate.

    I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws.

    On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birds and to the wild animals. You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD.

    Ezekiel 38-39
