What Ahmadinejad and Bin Laden seem to understand all too well is that America's achilles heel is the 'hate America first' left which sees 'betrayal' in US sucess. They appeal to that crowd found so prominently in Universities and in the press so that we will self- destruct because they can not do accomplish that goal without our help.

As someone I heard today so aptly put it,Ahmadinejad’s speech will be editted and passed around the Middle East with any negative stuff cut out. All the “cheering” he got,and there was quite a bit of it by those academic morons will be played over and over again !!!

I wish to know who gave him a standing ovation. Their names should be made public.

They are your neighbors children - if it took a village to raise a child, the village failed.

The dumb bastards in academia do NOT belong on the world stage of foreign policy,giving a propaganda platform to a certifiable nut-job. He played Columbia like the naive dim-witted fiddle it is. The tough talk narrative preamble means nothing and will be known for what it was.... a last minute Columbia fig leaf from the ninnys up on the west side that will be lost to the cutting room floor. Meanwhile, all the “good stuff” will make it’s way through out the middle east. Another great play by the out of touch elitist left from the hallowed halls. Fools, all of them.

Can’t believe that no one has made this connection yet:

At Columbia, Ahmadinejad offered the infidels (us) the opportunity to convert, on our home turf, in a way that he knew we would hear. An invitation to convert to Islam is apparently one of the traditional steps before jihad.

Today, Ahmadinejad stated that the ‘nuclear issue is closed’ (yes, that’s a paraphrase of a translation, so there may be some uncertainty there). Such defiance of world nuclear regulatory bodies appears to be a (non-traditional) step before detonating a nuclear device.

Put the two together, and what do you have? Traditional and non-traditional hints that something (like NYC) may go boom in the near future.

Yikes.

“Today, Ahmadinejad stated that the ‘nuclear issue is closed”

My speculation, I now expect that Iran will be refusing any further IAEA inspections. And that means that they are moving forward to an undisguisable stage of their nuke development.

Iran will have its nuke before Bush leaves office in January, 2009, if it doesn’t have it already.

"if he were willing to engage in a debate and a discussion," the university would happily invite Adolf Hitler to speak,

But in truth, George Bush or Anne Coulter would not be welcomed nor allowed to speak at Columbia. Now, isn't that perverse as all heck?

That cartoon nails it. Ahmadi’s sweet talk has the Left in a swoon.
