“This summer will see Muslim victories in the region and the defeat of our enemies!” – Ahmadinejad in Damascus

This guy is desperate for a war so that he can refocus the world's attention from his nuclear programs. He is also making sure that most of the dead are Syrian or Palestinian. This gives him a little bit of deniability. Not that he is fooling anyone.

DEBKAfile - “This summer will see Muslim victories in the region and the defeat of our enemies!” – Ahmadinejad in Damascus: "The Iranian president trumpeted Iran’s intentions for the Middle East when he arrived in Damascus Thursday, July 19. DEBKAfile’s Middle East sources reveal that behind the braggadocio, his conversation with Iran’s closest ally, Syrian president Bashar Assad, was acrimonious. In fact, he warned Assad he had better stop signaling his willingness for peace talks with Israel because this behavior was hampering Iran’s plans for a war this summer.

Ahmadinejad reminded Assad that Tehran had spent almost a year on detailed preparations for a summer war and would not tolerate the Syrian ruler sabotaging this effort. Assad was reminded of his huge debt to the Islamic Republic. In the last few months alone, Iran put up hundreds of millions of dollars for Syria’s arms purchases from Russia; Syria gets its oil gratis and raw materials and finished goods at subsidized prices."
