Did you witness Ahmadinejad’s speech to the U.N. yesterday? Did it strike you as sort of lackluster, not quite up to his world-class whack-job reputation? A big letdown after the buildup?
Me, too. But give the guy a break. He didn’t have his homeys to whip him up into the zone. Today, courtesy of MEMRI, we have a video of how our boy does on his home court. Here’s a link to the video, and here’s an excerpt:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: During this years celebrations of the revolution, you have witnessed some of our scientists’ technological and scientific achievements, [such as] the prevention and cure of the deadly AIDS disease.

But the dear humanity-loving, and believing Iranian people is inventing the cure for it, and will place it at the disposal of all humanity.
That Ahmadinejad is one fine humanitarian; you’ve gotta give him that. Here he is, all in a sweat to cure AIDS, and they don’t even have any gay people over there.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: This [Zionist regime] was established in order to swallow up the entire region, and to place it at the disposal of the world forces. It is a big lie that it was done in order to protect those killed in World War II, and in order to compensate them.
Over 60 million people were killed in World War II. Let’s assume you are right, and six million [Jews] were among those killed. How come none of you mourn the other 54 million?

On the one hand, they operate all the terrorist groups in Iraq and Palestine, and set them upon the peoples, yet on the other hand, they raise the banner of the war on terror.
