Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: US and Israel 'don't have the courage' to attack Iran

US, Israel 'Don't Have The Courage' To Attack Iran
Posted Wed Nov 25, 2009
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said even 'mentally challenged people' know attacking Iran is not a possibility. He went on to say, 'Those you mention (Israel, US) don't have the courage to attack Iran. They're not even thinking about it.'

Speaking during a visit to Brazil, he insisted an attack on Iran over its suspected covert nuclear program was no longer a possibility "even for mentally challenged people".

"The age of military attacks is over, now we've reached the time for dialogue and understanding. Weapons and threats are a thing of the past," he said.

He added, with a smile: "Those you mention [Israel and the US] don't have the courage to attack Iran. They're not even thinking about it."

He was speaking on Monday night alongside President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva at the end of his visit to the capital Brasilia.

Mr Ahmadinejad's arrival in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday was greeted by a 1,000-strong rally of members of Jewish, anti-racist and homosexual rights groups who protested his past tirades against Israel and other groups.

During the joint press conference with Mr da Silva, a protester quietly waved a gay-rights banner in the crowd before police escorted him from the venue.

Mr Ahmadinejad met for three hours with "Lula" to discuss Iran's controversial nuclear program, over which the Brazilian leader urged Tehran to find a "just solution" with Western powers.

Mr Ahmadinejad was to depart for Bolivia for talks with his counterpart Evo Morales, then on to Venezuela to see his "friend", President Hugo Chavez.

Shadd and I were talking tonight as we were walking. What he said, would happen if some one dropped a bomb on Mr. Ahmadinejad? Good question I said, do you have some one in mind. Well Shadd responded. We could have Jose fly there, and put on his bat wings, fly over head and boom, drop a brown bag of runny dog poop. And he speaks good spanish in case he gets caught. We looked at each other and broke out in loud laughter heard all around the neighborhood. About that time I missed stepped and landed right on a pile of runny brown dog poop! Shadd laughed and danced all the way home.......
