Iran's Ahmadinejad Comes Up With Brilliant Idea...Canceling the Sanctions On Iran Would Be "Helpful"


I've said it before...that all Mahmoud Ahmadinejad needs is a big red nose, some huge shoes and a horn and he'll be at home on the world stage.

Well, the MiniMe of demented world leaders (by the way, have you noticed that the two Presidents in the world that we have the most trouble with are both bordering on "little people" in height?) has come out and said now that if the West were to lift the sanctions on Iran, it would improve the negotiations process regarding Iran's nuclear ambitions.

From the report at Breitbart:


Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says lifting sanctions imposed on Iran would help achieve progress in nuclear talks currently under way in Geneva.
State television quoted him on Tuesday saying "canceling the mistakes you made" would "definitely be helpful," referring to several rounds of U.N. sanctions.

Ahmadinejad spoke to a crowd in the Iranian city of Arak.

Iranian negotiators and representatives of the six world powers met in Geneva Tuesday for a second day of talks over U.N. Security Council demands that Tehran curb its nuclear activities.

The U.S. and its allies fear Iran is using its nuclear program as a cover for developing weapons, a charge Tehran denies.
I'm sure if the West just did away with those sanctions, the Iranians would, in good faith, halt all construction of their nuke facilities and destroy all capabilities towards weapons that they have reached to this point. The scariest part of all of this is that the U.S. President will probably suggest that we take him up on the offer.



Iran says canceling sanctions 'helpful' to talks



TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says lifting sanctions imposed on Iran would help achieve progress in nuclear talks currently under way in Geneva.
State television quoted him on Tuesday saying "canceling the mistakes you made" would "definitely be helpful," referring to several rounds of U.N. sanctions.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

GENEVA (AP)—Talks between Iran and six world powers are going into a second day with no sign of progress on U.N. Security Council demands that Tehran curb its nuclear activities.

An official at the negotiations said the first meeting Monday gave little reason to presume that Iran would relent and address the demands. That would dash hopes of a renewed meeting in the new year.

Delegates from Iran, the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany are meeting Tuesday at a conference center in Geneva.

Tehran insists its nuclear program is only designed to provide more power for its growing population. Yet as Iran builds up its capacity, neither Israel nor the U.S. are ruling out military action if Tehran fails to heed U.N. Security Council demands.
