The President presumably gets some sharp dressing down from Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in his audience today. He now issues a much toned down statement although convoluted to the core which is far away from ground realities which even Palestinians agree are not possible compromises.. Now he says ''the best step would be political rather than military but with a caveat i.e. with the participation of Palestinians inside and outside the occupied territories .''

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday the only solution to the Middle East conflict was democracy for Palestinians, after provoking outcry last week by calling for Israel to be "wiped off the map."

The official IRNA news agency quoted him as saying the best step would be political rather than military.

"The only logical solution to solve the Palestinian issue is to hold free elections with the participation of Palestinians inside and outside the occupied territories and recognition of the nation's legitimacy," he said after a meeting with Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

I wrote on this If Khamenei distances himself from him gradually, this is the end of Ahmdeinejad, if the president is allowed to continue on this line, this will be end of Iran as a stable country.
