Iran's number one priority: Setting Israel on Fire

The maniacal despots known as Iran's Mullahs have used Nazi-style threats on Israel and the US for years. And the Mullahs' useful idiots in the media routinely underreport these threats in their zeal to harm the Bush administration. It's easy to imagine what will happen when these crackpots -- bent on martyring themselves -- get their hands on nukes. After all, they've told us what they'll do... starting with destroying America and Israel (hat tip: LGF):

Former Spanish prime minister Jose Maria Aznar said Tuesday that Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told him five years ago that “setting Israel on fire” was the first order of business on the Iranian agenda. Aznar, in Israel as the guest of the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, related the story to Major General (Res.) Professor Yitzhak Ben-Israel, who later confirmed to Haaretz that the remarks had been made. Aznar’s aides refused to give Haaretz the exact quote, but mentioned an article Aznar has written in the past on his meeting with Khamenei. “He received me politely,” Aznar wrote, “and at the beginning of the meeting he explained to me why Iran must declare war on Israel and the United States until they are completely destroyed. I made only one request of him: that he tell me the time of the planned attack.”
