US no longer Super Power?

According to Iran, the answer is no. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in yet another bizarre twist on reality, has claimed that Iran is the greatest and most powerful country in the world.

"Iran is the number one power in the world," Ahmadinejad said Thursday in a
speech to the families of those killed in his country's war with Iraq more than
20 years ago. "Today the name of Iran means a firm punch in the teeth of the
powerful and it puts them in their place..." He continued, "You can see how some people here... try to materialize the plans of the enemies and by showing that Iran is small and the enemy is big,"

Let me finish by referring to my cartoon: "But as you can see by this chart, it is Iran who is big and the enemy is actually small"

Iran, a country in a region of great historical value, is headed by a mad-man. As if his recent comments about peace by wiping Israel off the map weren't enough, or his claims that his nukes will be peacefully used to wipe Israel off the map... ummm, I mean for energy... Then this is clear evidence of delusions of grandeur!

Wikipedia helps us dissect what is going on with the Iranian Leadership:

Megalomania (from the Greek word μεγαλομανία) is an historical term for behavior
characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, genius, or omnipotence - often generally termed as delusions of grandeur. The word is a collaboration of the word "mania" meaning madness and the Greek "megalo" meaning "very large", "great", or "exaggerated", thus combining to denote an obsession with, either in the form of irrational perceived need for or preoccupation with in one's own estimation having and/or obtaining, grandiosity and extravagance (especially in the form of great fame and popularity, material wealth, social influence or political power, or more than one or even all of the aforesaid) and accompanying complete desirous and bombastic abandon; a common symptom if not the key diagnostic feature of megalomania.

It is often symptomatic of manic or paranoid disorders.

Little Hitler is clearly mad, and hell bent on starting a war. Should he have it his way, it will be a war of the nuclear type. A war in which Israel cannot recover... and it is true that should Israel (whose total population is 7 Million) get hit with a single nuclear bomb, killing 200,000 (3% of their total population) she could not recover.

Obama - The Inexperienced Foreign Relations Jester

Not a day goes by anymore where Barack Obama is not placing his foot in his mouth on foreign relations issues. And the more it happens, the more you can hear the laughter at the thought of him as President of the United States.

He began by declaring that his first objective as President would be to set up meetings with rulers who have sworn their hatred towards the United States (such as Chavez, Castro, Ahmadenijad, Jung-Il... and the list goes on). The intent of the meetings would be to determine how we could appease their hatred for the US... Worked for Clinton in the 90's in giving North Korea nuclear technology... only took them 10 years to build a nuclear warhead and threaten to launch against US territory or allies.

Then, as if he realized that the crowd was laughing at him, not with him, he came out acting like a war hawk... declaring that he would bomb Pakistan if Musharif would not act swiftly on intelligence to get Bin Laden. Of course this action would surely unseat Musharif, as he barely holds control of his country... and then a new Islamic State of Pakistan would be created in the fashion of Taliban controlled Afghanistan or the Peoples Republic of Iran. Then you could kiss our foothold in the region good-bye, and almost certainly ensure that Pakistan's nuclear arsenal is distributed to Martyrs on the way to America or India or London or... you get the picture...

Now, in an attempt to fling mud in the face of his plummeting poll numbers, he is attacking US troops and great progress in Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, the US troops had a swift success in overthrowing the Taliban, and rebuilding the infrastructure... ensuring freedom for women and children... the list goes on... The region is not without it's problems as Al-Queda attempts to resupply the Taliban with the help from Iran, but the country is clearly better off and the people know it, and appreciate the freedom given them.

Barack Obama, in a classic case of "WTF?" said that US troops need to do more than just kill civilians in Afghanistan.

I say to you, Mr Obama, "Mind your words". You are unfit for such a prestigious office, and your recent resorting to "fraternity hazing rituals", as you called it, is evidence enough that you are just not ready for the executive branch of the federal government.

So as the elections inch closer each day, let's not forget to take a second and laugh at the Jack-Ass (Democratic Donkey, if you will) who thinks that the office of the President has no need for reason and logic in foreign affairs... go ahead, point and laugh...

God Bless
