Rough week for Israel...

TUESDAY: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (above) announces that Iran has successfully enriched uranium, a required and difficult step in the process of making nuclear weapons.

FRIDAY: "Like it or not, the Zionist regime is heading toward annihilation," Ahmadinejad said at the opening of a conference in support of the Palestinians.

"The Zionist regime is a rotten, dried tree that will be eliminated by one storm."

Hmm ... I wonder of these two items are related somehow?
