In reply to the discussion: Iran's Ahmadinejad says that Israel will be 'eliminated' [View all]davidthegnome
(2,983 posts)What was actually said is being misrepresented - I suspect deliberately. Or, here, I posted this earlier:
""The nuclear issue is not a problem. But the approach of the United States on Iran is important. We are ready for dialogue, for a fundamental resolution of the problems, but under conditions that are based on fairness and mutual respect."
"We are not expecting a 33-year-old problem between the United States and Iran to be resolved in a speedy fashion. But there is no other way besides dialogue," Ahmadinejad said. "
Oh - and also what Ahmadinejad (wow that's a hard name to spell, glad someone else did it for me) actually said:
"We don't even count them as any part of any equation for Iran. During a historical phase, they represent minimal disturbances that come into the picture and are then eliminated," Ahmadinejad added."
I'm no fan of Ahmadinejad, but I am a fan of more honest journalism. The title of this article is misleading.
