Chutzpah: Ahmadinejad tells West, "As God is my witness, the Iranian nation will not give a damn for [your] bombs"

Does anyone really think sanctions are going to work with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?

KARAJ, Iran — Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made a defiant TV speech Sunday in which he taunted the West, saying the Islamic Republic is unfazed by the threat of Western military action.

“As God is my witness, the Iranian nation will not give a damn for [your] bombs, warships and planes,” Ahmadinejad said in a televised speech in Karaj, west of Tehran, reported by the official IRNA news agency.

“They say all [options] are on the table. Well, let them rot there. You yourself will rot,” he added.
The hard-line leader accused the US and other Western nations of bullying Iran, adding that the West “should talk politely, and recognize the rights of nations, and cooperate instead of showing teeth, and weapons and bombs.”
