He outdid Madoff. He is of Jewish origin and must be a Mossad agent, sent to make troubles in Iran. What do you think Cal?

Not altogether easy to believe that such a things could happen. Maybe you should question your sources, Cal.

It's the Jerusalem Post, hardly an objective source as far as Iran is concerned.

Wild Cat, maybe if he kept his tongue in cheek, Ahmadinejad would be more acceptable! Seriously, even though it is true that jpost isn't exactly without agendas, most news sources have a point of view, and those who think that Iran is n innocent party to abuse are smoking something really good. They fund terrorism regionally, and are the main thrust of the Islamic Revolution in terms of actively promoting and training terrorism and terrorists in te area. I'll try to corroborate this story, but dont pretend this is just a fantastical story, either.

Ahmadinejad obviously presents himself as a strong man, may be on his own accord or may be on order from clerics. What puzzles me, how can clever Iranians elect someone like him? I know several Iranians, people with impeccable manners, great education and tact. They don't like Ahmadinejad, but somehow he got elected twice. HOW?

Because he's a lying,thieving,cheating rat, Wild Cat. It's interesting that he got caught with his hands in the till.
It's only $35 billion. No big deal in this part of the world.

Stan, the question is who will lose: the thief or his finders.
