The madness of Mad Mahmoud

Mad Mahmoud is even crazier than usual.

“We have precise information that the Americans have devised a plot … they plan to attack at least two countries in the region within the next three months,” he said in remarks Press TV posted on its website from an interview with him late Monday.

Ahmadinejad said the United States was seeking to achieve two main objectives from these wars.

“First of all, they want to hamper Iran’s progress and development since they are opposed to our growth, and, secondly, they want to save the Zionist regime because it has reached a dead-end and the Zionists believe they can be saved through a military confrontation,” he said referring to Israel.

So, Mad Mahmoud has “precise information” that America is about to enter two more wars in the region to try to destroy Iran and prop up Israel. Could he be any crazier?

Well, yes.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has criticized Paul the octopus, who gained fame by correctly predicting the outcome of eight World Cup matches.

The Iranian leader called Paul a symbol of decadence and decay in the Western world. Mr. Ahmadinejad also said those who believe in a psychic octopus cannot be leaders of nations like Iran “that aspire to human perfection.”

You know, if this guy wasn’t in charge of a country laden with oil that sits atop the Persian Gulf, has a huge army, and is trying to attain nuclear weapons, he’d be hilarious. Nobody really thought the octopus was psychic—at least, nobody with a brain. This is as funny as the Arab News editorial that cited dogcatcher elections:

The American system is based on perpetual elections at all levels; in many places even the dog-catcher is elected.

Yeah, because the phrase “He couldn’t get elected dogcatcher” means something different in Arabic, apparently.

Back to Mad Mahmoud and Paul the Octopus: We can laugh, but never forget that he and the Mad Mullahs have the capability of bringing life as we know it to a very different path—if they get the bomb.
