Ahmadinejad did not lose an election. Term limits means he is out in 2013. The question is who will be elected their next president. Many of his subordinates are possilble presidents. Will another extremist takes power? Or someone more moderate, such as Rafsanjani, take the reins? More 'big dic' threats from extremist conservatives, like George Jr or Netanyahu, will surely guarantee another Ahmadinejad is elected.

The answer to that is, the Mullahs. The Mullahs counted the votes.

Ahmadinejad lost the election at the ballot box. He was re-appointed by the Mullahs at the counting.

Also being asked is whether Ahmadinejad can put forth his choosen man. Or if the Mullahs will make that choice. More of the many 'theys'.

It may have been in an interview. Ahmadinejad will not even commit to recommending one of his subordinates for president.

That election will be Spring 2013. Clearly a foolish military adventure by Israel would drastically change everything. Make it virutally impossible for any moderate to be elected.
