Details have emerged of the surprise letter written by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to US President George W Bush.
In it, Mr Ahmadinejad criticises the US invasion of Iraq and urges Mr Bush to return to religious principles.
The letter was issued as foreign ministers met in New York for talks on the Iranian nuclear crisis.
Iraq 'lies'
Mr Ahmadinejad spoke of the invasion of Iraq, a US cover-up over the 11 September 2001 attacks, the issue of Israel's right to exist and the role of religion in the world.
"On the pretext of the existence of WMDs, his great tragedy [the US invasion of Iraq] came to engulf both the peoples of the occupied and the occupying country.
"Lies were told in the Iraqi matter," Reuters news agency quoted the letter as saying. "What was the result? I have no doubt that telling lies is reprehensible in any culture, and you do not like to be lied to," Mr Ahmadinejad is quoted as saying.
The president also questioned the creation of Israel, asking "how can this phenomenon be rationalised or explained?", Reuters reported.
In another part of the letter, Mr Ahmadinejad suggests Washington has concealed elements of the truth about the 11 September 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, Reuters reports.
"Why have the various aspects of the attacks been kept secret? Why are we not told who botched their responsibilities?" he asks.
The president ends the letter by appealing to Mr Bush to return to religion.
"We increasingly see that people around the world are flocking towards a main focal point - that is the Almighty God.
"My question for you is, 'Do you not want to join them?'"

bump
The letter was in long hand?
Maybe the answer should be chalked on the side of a tactical nuke.
Does he think that the more he goads us the more we will drag our heels to show him we move on our time, giving him more time?
Does he want to draw us in for the show?
Is Israel the real target here?
Too deep for me. I just hope when we do go in, this time we claim some oilfields:')
Saddam was a peaceful man full of love. I'm just being a Moonbat! My "Populist" liberal co-worker thinks, " The Letter is a good sign. Lord please get me out of this hell! :)
If Mr. Ahmadinejad's letter to President is the rambling insanity that it is starting to sound like, it will surely strengthen our case before the UN.
This is supposed to be the first official diplomatic relations between the US and Iran in 27 years and would be expected to contain the usual diplomatic overtures and offers of concessions given its importance and the timing.
Even the Russians and Chinese can't accept a clearly unstable person having nuclear weapons.
Most likely the letter is the combined rants of Richard Cohen, Al Franken, Nancy Pelosi, Cynthia McKinney, Howard Dean and the staff at the NY Times.
plus Ward Churchill, Cindy Sheehan, CNN, and Michael Moore.
Cindy Sheehan, check your email. I think eHarmony just found you a date.

Of course it does. Didn't you hear? Amadinejad hired Dean as his ghostwriter! LOL
(Denny Crane: "Every one should carry a gun strapped to their waist. We need more - not less guns.")
If this letter is as goofy as it appears, I hope the President publishes it in it's entirety. Then (finally satisfying the Rats) he comes out and apologizes to the American people. It would go something like this:
'My fellow countrymen, I humbly ask your forgiveness. I have tried to turn the other cheek. I have misled you into believing that the Muslims seek peaceful coexistence. This letter has forced me to face reality. I from this day forward, make the destruction of Islam my personal Crusade. To that end, I have decided to unilaterally reduce our Nuclear arsenal. Anyone wishing to witness the disposal of our warheads will kindly direct their attention to the nearest major Muslim population center. Please exercise extreme caution as the flash is apparently hazardous to your eyesight. (note to Tony Blair; Jack was wrong and so are you.)
Oh, and another thing. The response to whatshisnames letter is:
NUTS!'
If the MSM publishes this crap, it should be good for 20 points on the Presidents approval rating, it will terefore be buried!
Add in that nitwit McGovern and the Generals
LOL. He sounds like a CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) employee or a University student.
