Officials Reject Iranian President's Bid To Visit Ground Zero
WNBC ^ | 9/18/07

NEW YORK -- Officials on Wednesday decided to reject the Iranian president's request to visit ground zero just weeks after the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

The decision came in a meeting that included representatives of the NYPD, the Secret Service and the Port Authority, according to police.

NYPD officials confirmed in a statement that earlier this month the department received a request from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to visit the World Trade Center site during the United Nations General Assembly.

A statement issued by the NYPD said, "Requests for the Iranian president to visit the immediate area would also be opposed by the NYPD on security grounds."

And opposed by the rest of us on the grounds that the little shit has no business being there, praying for the hijackers.

I would have been much more impressed if they said the request was denied because it was a sacrilege.

What, so he could gloat? No way. I don’t think he should be allowed in our country at all, given the anti-American and anti-Semetic themes that are the substance of all that he says and does. Much less put one of his ugly paws on sacred ground. I guess those in charge wisely realized what an uproar that would have caused.

Pity. Was hoping some enterprising American would have taken out his skull with a rifle from one of the many building down there.

We know when Ahmadinerunt is flying from Iran to the U.S., we know the flight path, we know what type of aircraft.

We should be planning to do to him what we did to Yamamoto in April of ‘43.

But that would require someone with major, forged steel stones in the White House.

This Iranian nutjob is currently plotting the creation of future Ground Zeros, both in the U.S. and Europe, as well as in Israel.

To let him visit the World Trade Center site would be an absolute outrage.

The only place on American soil he should visit is a garbage dump.
