Ahmadinejad Cannot Even Control His Own Cabinet

According to this report, there was a very tense meeting in which members of Ahmadinejad openly quarreled with him over his choice for first VP with several members walking out. If Ahmadinejad has this much trouble controlling his own cabinet with hardliners, you can imagine why these guys cannot control the country for very much longer. Also Khameini has made renewed calls to sack Ahmadinejad's choice of Mashai as VP.

NIAC reports during his sermon at this week's Friday Prayers, hardline cleric Ahmad Khatami (not to be confused with the reformist former president Khatami) has called on Ahmadinejad to sack his VP essentially because Khameini said so.

This is what happens when there is no longer the rule of law and the constitution in a country. When a government steals an election and violates its own ideals, then there is no system in place to keep everything in order. Also it shows the danger of having a President with no legitimacy and who owes his place to the approval of a few individuals. Those individuals feel that they have a right to pressure the President to do whatever they would like such as sacking his own choice for his deputy.
