How about translating this, professor Juan Cole?

Since the days of the famous linguistic controversy about the undying words of Mahmoud Ahmadinejd aka Mahmoud the Mad and the brilliant interpretation of the "wiped off the map" by prof Cole, the issue has somewhat lost its allure. And now, Iranian military, undoubtedly seriously moderated by the latest elections (if prof Cole and his partners in disinformation are to be believed), decided to bring an end to the controversy.

Fars News posts photo of launched missile with Hebrew inscription: "Israel must be wiped off the face of the earth."

But, as they say, different strokes for different blokes. And if Ayatollahs and their warriors prefer to masturbate using missiles, one couldn't prevent a learned scientist from masturbating with words.

So translate this, prof Cole...
