Iran's prez skips chance to razz Bush
BY KENNETH R. BAZINET
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU
There won't be a confrontation on the General Assembly lunch menu today because the Iranian president has decided to skip it - passing up his best shot at ambushing President Bush with an impromptu debate.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has challenged Bush to a debate, and when the U.S. President turned him down, he suggested he would dog Bush at this week's General Assembly.
Bush has made it clear that he does not want to run into Ahmadinejad at the UN General Assembly this week because of Iran's secretive nuclear program, its support for terror groups like Hezbollah and vile comments the Iranian leader made calling for Israel to be "wiped off the map."
It's not clear why Ahmadinejad is passing on the lunch, which Fidel Castro once successfully used to shake hands with former President Bill Clinton.
Chances that the two men will bump into each other in the halls of the UN have been lessened by the fact that they are speaking nearly eight hours apart.
Bush is scheduled to speak at 11:30 a.m. discussing the war on terror, Iraq and Iran's nuclear ambitions.
The President is expected to single out Iran and Syria for trying to thwart democracy in the region.
"I think the President sees this ... as a struggle between the forces of extremism and the forces of moderation in the Middle East," national security adviser Stephen Hadley said, previewing Bush's speech. "And it's really a crucial time."
Ahmadinejad will address the gathering between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m., according to the UN.
They are still expected to engage in a war of words, with Ahmadinejad given the advantage of being able to respond in his remarks to Bush's speech.
