A plot to kidnap!!

The Iranian President, Mr Ahmadinejad claimed that during a recent official visit to Iraq, the Americans tried to " kidnap" him! I am not sure if I should laugh or cry to have such a naive and idiot individaul to be the President of my beloved homeland! Not long ago, he travelled to New York and if the Americans had any such plan, it would have been a lot easier to try to kidnap him while he was there! Why do it in Iraq? The story goes that as part of the plan, the "potenital kidnappers" also wanted to transfer him to the US! Once again, it would have been a lot simpler to do it while he was in the US?
I am not sure what else to say! As we say in Iran, "I am melting of shame!!!"
