VOX POP: Ahmadinejad Crowd UP

Saying Israel would soon disappear.

Ahmadinejad first made the remarks in 2005, fueling international outrage AND speculation that he was threatening the Jewish state with a nuclear weapon...

But while speaking at a ceremony honoring the late founder of Iran's Islamic Republic Monday --- Ahmadinejad told an audience that --- quote --- "this origin of corruption will soon be wiped off of the Earth's face."

Ahmadinejad also called the U-S a satanic power... that with -- God's will -- would be annihilated.

Iran cut ties with Israel and the United States in 1979 after their revolution toppled the nation's government.

On Tuesday, Ahmadinejad arrived in Rome for a U-N summit designed to help combat skyrocketing food prices worldwide.

His attendance at the meeting was denounced by both Jewish leaders and a host of political and activist groups.
