There is a big flaw in the cited quote: It assumes that Ahmadinejad is Iran's leader. It is wrong. Ahmadinejad is certainly NOT Iran's leader. He does not have the power to move even a single soldier. He is the president, which in Iranian consituency means CEO of an oil company named Iran. All the policy making and other critical political issues are investigated and decided out of his government, noticeably under supervision of the supreme leader.
