Achmadinejad Master of Diplomacy

Oh, this guy is a wordsmith, an adept at ambiguity, a dean of deception. Who can pierce through his mask-like visage and discern his true intentions?

Iran's hard-line president called for Israel to be 'wiped off the map' and said a new wave of Palestinian attacks will destroy the Jewish state, state-run media reported Wednesday.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also denounced attempts to recognize Israel or normalize relations with it.

'There is no doubt that the new wave (of attacks) in Palestine will wipe off this stigma (Israel) from the face of the Islamic world,' Ahmadinejad told students Wednesday during a Tehran conference called 'The World without Zionism.'

Sounds like quite a zippy conference: "The World without Zionism". I'm only surprised it isn't being co-sponsored by the London SOAS.
