Once again, the likes of Sheldon Richman and Justin Raimondo (through Antiwar.com, which is where Richman chooses to obtain his "facts" from) try to pervert the truth. I assume, (although it's hard to understand especially Raimondo's goal in anything....In Raimondo's case, he's just a goofy crackpot who like to hear himself talk and see himself in print) that the goal here is to portray the American government as insistent on attacking Iran, and that whole "Blood For Oil" theory that both love so much......Needless to say, that Richman's and Raimondo's very existence depend upon petroelum products, from the food that they inhale to the nasty drawers on their backsides.
Here are but just a few of the examples of: "Iranian leader[s] threaten[ing] Israel with annihilation"
(Ahmadinejad: "Death to Israel")

Washington Post: The facts revolving around Ahmadinejad's purported statement of "Wipe Israel Off the Map"....Note the discussion of the Iranian billboards throughout the Nation, stating that Israel should be "wiped off the map")
Germany's Der Spiegal News: Summer of 2007, Ahmadinejad: "the ocean of nations of the region will get angry and will cut the root of the Zionist regime from its stem."
There are many, many more examples....All one has to do is Google, " Ahmadinejad + Israel"

The New York Times' Lie and Truths about Iran
Posted by Sheldon Richman
Today's New York Times report "Obama Rebuffs Netanyahu on Setting Limits on Iran's Nuclear Program" contains one outright lie and a couple of true statements that don't get nearly enough attention in the media.
The lie:No Iranian leader has threatened Israel with annihilation.
- Israeli officials, however, say this guarantee [that the Obama administration will prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon] may not be enough for Israel, which Iranian leaders have repeatedly threatened with annihilation.
The truths that require more attention (emphasis added):http://sheldonfreeassociation.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-new-york-times-lies-and-truths.html?spref=fb
- Basing a military judgment on Iran's stockpile of medium-enriched uranium could be tricky, however, because while the overall amount of this material has increased, the amount that can be readily used to fuel a bomb has declined since Iran converted some of it into plates to be used in a research reactor in Tehran. . . .
- Administration officials contend that the United States will still be able to detect, and prevent, Iran from passing that point. Nor does the administration have evidence that Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has even made a decision to build a bomb.
