WHAT AHMADINEJAD SAID WASN'T WHAT HE MEANT

Manouchehr Mottaki, Iran's foreign minister, denies that President Ahmadinejad wants Israel "wiped off the map":

"Nobody can remove a country from the map. This is a misunderstanding in Europe of what our president mentioned."

Yep, it's the Jews he wants wiped off the map.
