Ask the Clinton's what their secret is.

I'm shocked by all of this, stunned I tell you. Who would ever have imagined that Iran, the paradise of democracy and peace, would ever elect as its leader someone such as this?

Catch me, I'm going to faint...

Get me some air.

Help.

<SMALL>Help.</SMALL>

Ahem.

Actually, if the new president of Iran had not been outed as a one-time terrorist, I would have been truly surprised.

Iranian President-Elect May Be '89 Killer

VIENNA, Austria — An exiled Iranian dissident on Saturday said Iran's newly elected president — already accused of taking American diplomats hostage 36 years ago — played a key role in the 1989 execution-style slayings of a Kurdish opposition leader and two associates in Vienna.
However, a top adviser to outgoing reformist President Mohammad Khatami (search (javascript:siteSearch('Mohammad Khatami');)), denied that President-elect Mohmoud Ahmadinejad (search (javascript:siteSearch('Mohmoud Ahmadinejad');)) was involved in the Vienna killings. He also said the new president was not involved in the hostage-taking.

"I'm opposed to Ahmadinejad's policies and thinking, but he was not involved in the hostage drama nor in the assassination of an Iranian opposition Kurdish leader in Vienna," said Saeed Hajjarian (search (javascript:siteSearch('Saeed Hajjarian');)), the Khatami adviser, who was reached Saturday in Tehran.

Austria's daily Der Standard, meanwhile, quoted a prominent Austrian politician as saying authorities have "very convincing" evidence linking Ahmadinejad to the attacks in Vienna in which the Kurds were killed.

The reports follow recent accusations from some of the 52 Americans who were held hostage for 444 days in Iran beginning in 1979 that the hard-line Ahmadinejad was among the hostage-takers.

Neither Ahmadinejad nor his aides could be reached Saturday for comment on the claims surrounding the Vienna killings, but the president-elect on Friday denied a role in the hostage-taking.

"It is not true," Ahmadinejad said. "It is only rumors."

Alireza Jafarzadeh, who runs Strategic Policy Consulting, a Washington-based think tank focusing on Iran and Iraq, said Ahmadinejad was a Revolutionary Guard commander who supplied the weapons used to gun down Iranian Kurdish politician Abdul-Rahman Ghassemlou and two colleagues on July 13, 1989 in Vienna.

Jafarzadeh is a former U.S. representative for the National Council of Resistance of Iran. The council is the political arm of the Mujahedeen Khalq, a group that Washington and the European Union list as a terrorist organization.

Ghassemlou, the principle target, was secretary-general of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan. His delegation had been in Vienna for secret talks with envoys from the Tehran regime.

Jafarzadeh said his assessment was based on Iranian government sources "who have provided accurate information in the past."

Whats next? He owns a New York salsa company? NEW YORK CITY!!!!!

Hanging's to good fer 'em. This is one I would reserve for the "fire ants" after all they have to eat too. Stake 'em down in the sand and let the little bastards do the rest.
