#1 We know it, and he knows we know it. And the Mad Mullahs knew we would know it. And they knew they would appoint - no annoint - him, because they knew we would know it.

In other words, we Mad Mullahs dare you to do something about it.

#3 But the United States has not yet determined whether Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was involved in the taking of hostages, a White House national security council spokesman said.

Does that matter? I read an article here on Rantburg that said this asshat was in charge of security for the entire period the hostages were there. So he might not have physically seized hostages,(and I stress might not) but he did guard them and give orders to those who held them. So what, we'll let this slide if he didn't actually seize hostages? What's the deal?

The Mad Mullah's are doing this to screw with us, they know damn well who this dude was and what his involvement was in Tehran, that's why they handpicked this political nobody to win the elections, elections my ass.

Debka said this about the move on June 25th..."A virtual nobody on Iranâs national scene, Tehran mayor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, 49, was picked by Iranâs radical Islamic leaders and swung ahead of the presidential race to deal âthe heaviest psychological blow to Iranâs enemies.â Those words were uttered by the new president in his first post-election statement Saturday, June 25. They attested to the fact that Iran had chosen him as its tool for getting back at the Bush administration for seeking to bring regime change and democracy to the Middle East and Iran in particular."

I'm prone to agreeing with Debka on this one, and have been following the White House's guarded approach to see what happens.

Let these bastards give us an excuse to invade, oh please Iran ..."all regimes that want to be annihalated please step forward" Syria seen shuffling quietly towards the back of the room

I wonder what will happen next.
