Iranian designated madman Mahmoud Ahmadinejad thumbed his nose at the European Union’s monumentally unserious “incentives” today.
TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran’s hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ridiculed a European Union plan to offer trade and technology incentives in exchange for his country agreeing to halt sensitive nuclear work.
“They say they want to give us incentives. They think they can take away our gold and give us some nuts and chocolate in exchange,” Ahmadinejad told a rally in the town of Arak.In a confident speech carried live on state-run television, he also vowed the Islamic regime would not bow to demands it freeze uranium enrichment work — at the centre of fears the country could acquire atomic weapons.
Watch out, Mahmoud. If you provoke the EU too much, they may resort to … a strongly worded condemnation!
