And I'm specifically talking about recent statements about using military force against Iran, which has come from NATO and the US. Iran hasn't said it will bomb Israel, or bomb the US, or use Military Force. And I pointed out that the sound bite that supposedly captured the President of Iran sayi

Of course there's all the other statements made by Iranian officials wanting the destruction of Israel. Or the open and extremely generous support of Hezbolla, development of IR ballistic missiles with enough range to hit Tel Aviv, or the actions of the Kuds Force in the Bekka Valley, or other loc

This should be made into a Snopes entry. I thought it at the time that this was an intentional mistranslation...and it was. "‎"Many believe Ahmadinejad has threatened to obliterate Israel because many news outlets ran a dubious translation of the Iranian president's remarks, suggesting he want
