Iranian Leader Miscalculates

Iranian leader and engineer extraordinaire Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has it all figured out:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad attracted criticism Monday when local media quoted him as saying his technical education and belief in God helped him rule out the possibility of a U.S. attack.

Ahmadinejad has said previously he doubted Washington would bomb Iran over the country's controversial nuclear program, but his latest comments drew fire because of his justification.

"I am an engineer. For hours, I write down various hypotheses, reject them, provide reasons and make plans based on calculations," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by several newspapers Monday, including the reformist daily Kargozaran. "They (the U.S.) are not able to create troubles for Iran."

This makes about as much sense as the Iranian attack story that had the lefties all excited this weekend. However, I believe Admadinejad had better go back and recheck his figures.
