Reuters – Iran's parliament summoned President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for questioning, semi-official Mehr news agency said on Monday, raising tensions in a power struggle between factions in the Islamic Republic's ruling elite. Ahmadinejad -- facing parliamentary elections next year and a presidential race in 2013 -- must attend the assembly within a month, Mehr said, after 100 lawmakers signed a motion calling him in. As well as facing pressure over policy issues, Ahmadinejad faces accusations that many of his closest aides are part of a "deviant current" who they say put secular nationalism ahead of Islamic values and are a threat to Iran's clerical rule >>>

puppet show, no party can

no money, no honey, no millions:
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Mon Jun 27, 2011 08:05 PM PDTThanks for the link to Milani's faramarz. On the millions of supporters you mentioned, well, evidence is that he did try on at least one occasion to bring his "millions" out on the street and ended up with s**t on his face by the lack of response. His support base was primarily amongst the rural poor who received actual cash handouts from him. The super high inflation directly as the result of his administrations thieving, corruption and mismanagment has wiped away those handouts and the support which came with them. The buffoon has well passed his expirey date, as has the entire islamist regime. His fate could be similar to Hoveyda's...

Ahmadi, the Sacrificial Lamb
by Faramarz on Mon Jun 27, 2011 07:52 PM PDTAhmadi has always been the "Accidental President!" The son of a blacksmith with no family ties to the clergy, no religious standing and no real connections. Abbas Milani just wrote an article about him and Khamenei and basically stated that if things continue to go bad for the Regime, Ahmadi will become the sacrificial lamb.
//nationalinterest.org/article/ahmadinejad-vs...
On occasions, Ahmadi threatened to bring his many millions of supporters out to the street, but he has not done so for whatever reason. But I agree that his days seem to be numbered. Next wrong move by him and Mashaaii will get it and after that it will be his turn.
p.s. Has anyone noticed that the pro-Regime folks on this site with Ahmadi's avatar have been very silent lately! The guy that was jailed last week, Malekzadeh, the Deputy Foreign Minister was responsible for the activities of the Iranians in the west.
No Money, No Honey!

by Mash Ghasem on Mon Jun 27, 2011 05:07 PM PDTSome might say he was seriously whacked (politically) back in that little election.
looks like AN is gonna be wacked!
by Sheila K on Mon Jun 27, 2011 04:48 PM PDTI wouldn't be surprised if one of these days we hear AN get killed by so called terrorist or CIA agents (wink wink).
Ahmadinejad a Nationalist and Secular???LOL
by vildemose on Mon Jun 27, 2011 03:13 PM PDTwho they say put secular nationalism ahead of Islamic values and are a threat to Iran's clerical rule
Ahamdinejad is only using secular nationalism to remove the clerics so he can have free reign in establishing his vision of "true" Islam, inspired by messianic visions of grandeur... Ahmadinejad does not even know what "secular" or "natioalism" mean to save his life...

Add him to the list
by Reality-Bites on Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:15 PM PDT- Bazargan
- Banisadr
- Moussavi
- Rafsanjani
- Khatami
- and now Ahmadinejad.
Every IRI president/prime minister (who wasn't killed ala Rejai, Beheshti) sooner or later falls out of favour with the Supreme Leader and his mullah cohorts, who hand-picked them in the first place.
These people are so duplicitous, back-stabbing and self serving that they can't even get along with each other.
He won't last
by Jahanshah Javid on Mon Jun 27, 2011 11:59 AM PDTThe avalanche has only just begun. The wave of attacks against Ahmadinejad and his friends will only get bigger and stronger. Just watch him get crushed in the coming weeks.
