Our blog provided several graphics used at the hearing. Newt Gingrich, and James Woolsey brought with them an enlarged version of the graphic used at the "World without Zionism" conference, where Ahmadinejad made his infamous statements about wiping Israel off the face of the map.
The graphics and a more complete translation of his speech make it painfully obvious that Ahmadinejah is seeking "a world without America" as well.
Several of those testifying before the Senate specifically referenced the the graphic to illustrate this point. It's good to know that others are taking note of our work.
Read the testimony. They are taking the threat seriously and it was reported well received.
