Thank God Aznar is now telling the world about this horrific discussion he had:
Former Spanish prime minister Jose Maria Aznar said Tuesday that Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told him five years ago that “setting Israel on fire” was the first order of business on the Iranian agenda.
Aznar, in Israel as the guest of the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, related the story to Major General (Res.) Professor Yitzhak Ben-Israel, who later confirmed to Haaretz that the remarks had been made. Aznar’s aides refused to give Haaretz the exact quote, but mentioned an article Aznar has written in the past on his meeting with Khamenei.
“He received me politely,” Aznar wrote, “and at the beginning of the meeting he explained to me why Iran must declare war on Israel and the United States until they are completely destroyed. I made only one request of him: that he tell me the time of the planned attack.”
Imagine you are a world leader, the PM of a major Eurpean country, and your staff ushers another world leader into your office, for a sitdown and some diplomacy. Sure, you might expect some tough talk, some tense negotiations on trade, or human rights. But would you ever expect to hear this?
It's like bringing Sonny Corleone in to meet the frickin' Dalai Lama.
I know we can't expect a man like Aznar to be anything other than diplomatic in the face of such behavior from Khameini, but I'll bet you even he wished that just for once he could get up and kick the shit out of this guy.

Ayatolloah Khameini Told Spanish PM, Iran's #1 Priority is "Setting Israel on Fire"
