Three cheers for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

Lets see now how the UN and our other "friends" like France and Russia dance their way out of this one....

From Reuters today ...

Washington won a vote at the U.N.'s 35-member International Atomic Energy Agency threatening Iran with referral to the Council -- but Russia abstained. No deadline was set.
Russia, like Iran, has long maintained that Tehran's nuclear programme is entirely peaceful, and defended Tehran's right to develop non-military atomic projects.

From CNN today ...

The U.N. Security Council has condemned recent comments by Iran's president that Israel should be "wiped off the map" but did not say if the world body planned any action against Iran.
