Ahmadine-who?

By Ami Eden · June 12, 2009

It's election day in Iran. The polls are packed. No projected winner yet.

But Israeli officials and U.S. Jewish groups have already been making the case that it doesn't matter if Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is ousted -- the strings remain in the hands of Ayatollah Ali Khameini, Iran's Supreme Leader. And, by most accounts, he remains committed to pushing forward with Iran's nuclear program and supporting terrorist proxies such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

For a glipmse of what post-Ahmadinjad advocacy might look like ... check out this ad from the American Jewish Committee that was published earlier this week in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times The New York Post.
