Iran's Leader Declares Intent To Speak at U.N.

New York Sun ^ | September 7, 2006 | NICHOLAS WAPSHOTT

[John Carey]

Diplomats at the United Nations were sent into disarray yesterday when President Ahmadinejad of Iran declared that he intended to attend the General Assembly of the world body on September 19 and to debate his country's nuclear program with President Bush, who is due to address the Assembly that day.

However, it was far from clear whether the Iranian president was serious in his suggestion or whether he was merely tweaking the nose of his American opponents. His intention to visit New York was reported by the Islamic Republic News Agency, which quoted the Presidential Office Media Department reporting him as saying, "We are ready for a debate with the Americans at the U.N. General Assembly" and that "the American side can even take part in the debate side by side with his advisors, and as a full team, if they wish so." Mr. Ahmadinejad last visited the United Nations last year.

[mmyers]

Maybe John Kerry can have lunch with this nutjob and work this out>>>>

[boomop1]

Refuse him visa, don't let the bum in, he is a terrorist.

[unkus]

Some idiot from the DNC will probably meet with him-probably Howard Dean.

[wvobiwan]

Good. Arrest this 'man' for his crimes against humanity.

Khatami too.

[doc maverick]

Will Ahmadinejad say the Mahdi surrounded his head with another halo as he speaks to the U.N. again??

LOLLLL!!

[MPJackal]

Let him do it. Then we can see where everyone (UN) really stands......with us, or with the terrorist.

[MikeA]

We should declare our intent to arrest his ass as soon as he sets foot in the US for his participation in having taken American diplomats hostage in 1979.

[BallyBill]

Diplomats at the United Nations were sent into disarray yesterday ... Why because this nut case will expose just how powerless the U.N. is? I hope he comes and makes faces at Kofi Annan and threatens to slap him.

[seasoned traditionalist]

Let him do it. Then we can see where everyone (UN) really stands......with us, or with the terrorist.

Surely you jest and hope you were asking that rhetorically?

If not, then you must have just landed from Mars or if the fairer sex, Venus.

[MPJackal]

I do jest. But as my momma always said; "Many a truth are said in jest". It might be a good thing if western nations SAW all the Durka Durks cheering for that wacko.

[seasoned traditionalist]

We should declare our intent to arrest his ass as soon as he sets foot in the US for his participation in having taken American diplomats hostage in 1979.

Good one. Had forgotten that he was personally involved.

Would be nice if one of the hostages took it upon them self to try (as the State Dept weenies would certainly protect this wackjob) to affect a citizen's arrest.

Would make for interesting copy and would embarrass the hell out of W, Condi and all the other wimps who are afraid to stand up and make a decision deny him entry to our country--which if I am not mistaken, we are well within our rights to do.

Give him the taste of one of these...

[A CA Guy]

He's going to go there and first say, "How come America thinks they should be the only one with Nuclear capacity"
The honest answer is that their society and thinking is inferior by a load compared to America's, but saying that without insulting the rest of the Middle East with what I consider the truth would be kind of tough.

Next he will call Israel terrorist, Hezbollah will be the good guys and the President of Iran will have never seen a terrorist in Iran in his life.

This guy is a dirty dangerous scum.

[uncbob]

Didn't this guy take an active part in violating our embassy and taking American hostages in 79

He should be seized if he trys to enter the country

If Bush lets him in it will NOT be to Bush's credit to say the least
