The Ahmadinejad Strain

The Andromeda Strain type-human virus that is Mahmoud Ahmadinjad, the President of Iran says:

"I must announce that the Zionist regime with a 60-year record of genocide, plunder, invasion and betrayal is about to die and will soon be erased from the geographical scene. Today, the time for the fall of the satanic power of the United States has come and the countdown to the annihilation of the emperor of power and wealth has started."

Just like in the movie Andromeda Strain, where a satellite crash lands and unleashes a deadly virus and a team is assembled to find out how the organism kills and what to do about it, John McCain is close by, to brace Mahmoud and bolster the Israelis (well, as pretty close as he can get speaking at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee):

"Tehran's continued pursuit of nuclear weapons poses an unacceptable risk, a danger we cannot allow. Emboldened by nuclear weapons, Iran would feel free to sponsor terrorist attacks against any perceived enemy. Its flouting of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty would render that agreement obsolete and could induce Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and others to join a nuclear arms race. The world would have to live, indefinitely, with the possibility that Tehran might pass nuclear materials or weapons to one of its allied terrorist networks. Armed as well with its ballistic missile arsenal, an Iranian nuclear bomb would pose an existential threat to the people of Israel."

Barack Obama was talking today too. Here's what he said:

"And now it seems like all Senator McCain is talking about on the campaign trail is Iraq - instead of offering real solutions to the problems you face every day."

Personally, I don't want John McCain or Barack Obama messing around with my business. If gas is over $4 a gallon, then I need to stop driving don't I? I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I don't need either one of those guys mucking around with the every day problems that I face. That's why I have family and friends. That's why I go to church. What I need help with is knowing that there is someone in D.C. who is looking after guys like Ahmadinejad and his deadly strain of Islam. Checking him and making sure his nutso, Mahdi version of the world stays the hell over there.

Obama is like the infected guy in the A&E remake of the Andromeda Strain (a remake that stole 4 hours of my life and actually had Benjamin Bratt saving the planet with Ricky Schroeder's severed thumb), who gets a whiff of Andromeda and promptly fires up his chainsaw and cuts his own head off. Obama's solution to the Ahmadinejad Strain is just about that effective.
