Perhaps if he goes, he'll throw off the so-called false flag that is often cited on here?

This is the president of a country, a country that has not attacked anyone in over 100 years, and he wants to be present at it. These games are supposed to be about goodwill, peace and unity. I think this is a big deal...

What do you reckon mate, blame the atheletes for smuggling explosives inside their equipment or a long range missile?
I'm guessing they won't go nuclear / dirty bomb or viral this close to central London...

The UK doesn't want him there because when the UK instigates a false flag and Ahmadinejad is killed in it, they cant blame Iran...which is their plan.
Why else would they NOT let him attend a friggin sports event...
The UK needs to get a grip of itself.edit on 18/5/12 by jrmcleod because: (no reason given)
