If only the students at Columbia University had done the same, instead they applauded him. What a travesty for our university system to embrace Achmadinajad rather than stand with the students who protested him.

It is a shame Columbia should never live down.

I was thinking the same.

Hate to see what is going to happen to those students in Iran later on. For all we know they may be gathered and shot.

Very good news as well as interesting. If the guy is such a great guy, why do they hate him so much?

And then we've got President New Tone saying all religions pray to the same god--

--excuse me--

Our president should be hammering Iran's nuclear facilities, rolling its Pasdaran agents back from Baghdad to Tehran and putting them up on lamp posts, not crooning Kumbaya--

The poor souls in this video are no doubt screaming under real torture in the IRGC's prisons.

But the U.S. administration (Football Commissioner Condi) sends chaperones to accompany Blackwater and parlays with Assad and Adamjihad's lackeys.

The guts of this street demonstration of Iran young people stands in stark contrast to Foggy Bottom's betrayal of our forces fighting for freedom in the region and indigenous forces such as these pictured in this demonstration.

And it took enduring yesterday's AFSCME Featherbed Day and an hour of busy signals today to get through to a White House Comment Line operator to deplore the President's sucking up to Islamists and his failure to bring down the Islamist regime in Tehran.

How is the war in Iraq to be won if Syria and Iran are still standing and abetting the "insurgents"?

Ledeen may shout "faster, please", but that presumes it's in action.

Next time Israel takes off for downtown Syria, I say, don't stop there--take it to the streets of Tehran.

When Ahmanutjob speaks at Tehran University, students shout against him. When he speaks at Columbia University, students applaud him. Hell, if I had to choose between the two schools I’d learn Farsi and be off to Tehran U!

What a weird world...

He and the clerics need to stop breathing, then Iran can move forward with a future IMO.

“Why only in Columbia? We have questions too!” read one banner. ‘

Because academia here in America thinks Imindamood4jihad is just peachy!

Thanks SB.
All entrances to Tehran University, a sprawling campus in the heart of the capital, were guarded by police and undercover security agents who kept out potential demonstrators... Some made references to Mr Ahmadinejad's speech last month at Columbia University in New York, where the Iranian leader said that people "should be free to speak their mind" at university... The demonstration was organised by Tahkim Vahdat, the student union organisation. Many of its leaders were arrested this year and three remain behind bars... State television reported Mr Ahmadinejad's speech at the university... But it made no mention of the hostile response that the Iranian head of state received from some students.
The students used to chant, "death to the mullahs! The mullahs must be killed!" It is coming.

I wonder how many UAVs could be dropped and launched against the Iranian army from just *one* B-52?

I dunno, but I remember seeing a B-52 bombing run, from a couple miles away, make a Southeast Asian beach look like it was being traversed by a stampede of a hundred thousand buffalo, and remember wondering at the time why the ship’s superstructure above my head was rattling so much.

The irony here is almost unbelievable.

I’ve only seen a B-52 bomb drop (VN era) on film. A rack was dropped, took a while; figured that was it, then the next rack started; maybe there were three or four total. Unreal. The B-52 payload was specified to accommodate Ed Teller’s H-bomb design, but another team came up with a much smaller design, so the 52 wound up a (mostly) conventional bomber.

Peace through superior firepower.

Let’s hope that whoever gives the commencement speech at graduation day for Columbia U’s Class of 2007 should keep it short and sweet-Like: “ Kiss my *** you class of sorry losers. Go now and try not to screw up the rest of the world.”
