Light-headed




Ahmadinejad saw a bright light, alright...Zzzap!

Via LGF, and straight to the rubber room:

Ahmadinejad said that someone present at the UN told him that a light surrounded him while he was delivering his speech to the General Assembly. The Iranian president added that he also sensed it.

"He said when you began with the words 'in the name of God,' I saw that you became surrounded by a light until the end [of the speech]," Ahmadinejad appears to say in the video. "I felt it myself, too. I felt that all of a sudden the atmosphere changed there, and for 27-28 minutes all the leaders did not blink."

Ahmadinejad adds that he is not exaggerating.

"I am not exaggerating when I say they did not blink; it's not an exaggeration, because I was looking," he says. "They were astonished as if a hand held them there and made them sit. It had opened their eyes and ears for the message of the Islamic Republic."

Baztab.com reported that during the meeting, Ayatollah Amoli said that "carrying out promises and restraining from fooling people" is the most important duty, presumably of officials . However, it is unclear whether that comment is made in reaction to the claim made by Ahmadinejad.

Critics And Skeptics
Iranian legislator Akbar Alami has questioned Ahmadinejad's apparent claims, saying that even Islam's holiest figures have never made such claims.

I'd suspect that Ahmadinejad's chances of dying a natural death just decreased tremendously...

I guess that depends on what you consider 'natural.'

It would be perfectly natural for me to put one of those Barrett .50's right between AHmadinejad's eyes. That natural enough?

Well, I suppose whacking him with a 30-pound rifle would work, but getting gray matter out of the scope mounts is such a drag...

Yes, but think of the satisfaction you will be feeling as you clean those scope mounts - job well done!

I wasn't talking about a butt stroke. I was talking about squeeeeezing that trigger at a range of about 2,000 yards. You, now, secure that sucker to a tree or something solid so he could see the muzzle flash and know the round is in flight. Either that or we could stump hang him. (I'd have to go off line to describe that method.)

Maybe next time he sees the light he will walk towards it, Old Soldier seems ready to help in that respect.
