From Cliff Thies:

According to Al Arabiya, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, says he has documentary proof that the United States is trying to prevent a return of the Mahdi, the 12th or Hidden Imam, believed by Shi’ite Muslims to be the Savior of the World.

Al Arabiya (via Fox News):

“We have documented proof that they believe that a descendant of the prophet of Islam will raise in these parts and he will dry the roots of all injustice in the world,” Ahmadinejad said during a speech on Monday, according to Al Arabiya.

"They have devised all these plans to prevent the coming of the Hidden Imam because they know that the Iranian nation is the one that will prepare the grounds for his coming and will be the supporters of his rule," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying.

Could he really be that crazy?

And be developing nuclear weapons?

Of course not. Just like Major Nidal M. Hasan couldn’t be that crazy. He’s just saying these things for domestic political consumption.
