UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Iran, whose president has vowed to wipe Israel off the map, complained to the United Nations on Wednesday that the Jewish state was repeatedly threatening to bomb it. The threats were "matters of extreme gravity" and the U.N. Security Council should condemn them and demand that Israel "cease and desist immediately from the threat of the use of force against members of the United Nations," Iranian U.N. Ambassador Javad Zarif said.These Iranians are such jokers. I mean how much of a threat can Israel be if only 50% of the country is left?
His comments, which came in a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan dated November 10 and circulated at the United Nations on Wednesday, prompted a quick rejoinder from John Bolton, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. I would say this is perhaps an example of the Iranians trying to learn 'chutzpah,"' Bolton told reporters, using a Yiddish word for unmitigated gall or outrageously arrogant behavior.

The Iranians are a trip. They've also demanded that the state prosecutors in Argentina be branded as war criminals for filing Interpol warrants against the Iranian gov't officials responsible for deadly bombing attack on the Jewish Center in Buenos Aires.
Isn't funny how lawless, violent, terrorists are always the first to scream for legal assistance?
Thanks for encouraging words and comments you left on my weblog. I appreciate it. Thanks
What would be even more hysterical is if the Iranians started to demand the world pick up their legal bills too.
Winston, your welcome, and I meant every word.
Sheesh, and they should ask for a Gift Certificate for National Ammo day...reimbursement on shaped-charges, etc.
