Iran's loony leader accused the U.S. of trying to colonize Iraq and then blamed "Zionist murderers" on Tuesday for everything from the plight of the Palestinians to the Russian invasion of Georgia.

"Today, the Zionist regime is on a definite slope to collapse, and there is no way to get out of the cesspool created by itself," President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told the UN General Assembly.

The "American empire in the world is reaching the end of its road," he added.

It's the decline of the American Empire, says Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at U.N.

Between this ridiculous bailout, Obama possibly being prez, and gas prices he may be on to something...

All empires eventually decline. Do we need to mention the empire of Persia? Oh wait...isn’t that modern day Iran?

Another reason they need to change the name Turtle Bay, to simply, Turd Bay.

Did you see what other tripe came out of a UN meeting in Switzerland today. Talk about an outrage!

Today, at the 9th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva (Switzerland), a NGO working “for rights of the indigenous” called Sarah Palin a “genocidal governor”.

The statement delivered by a NGO called “North South XXI” asked the international delegates to condemn the Alaskan governor and the USA in general for ignoring the right to self-determination of the indigeneous people of Alaska.

The video of the statement will be available soon here : http://www.un.org/web

hope you are right, but things seem to be rapidly moving down hill for US. Socialism and moral decay are gaining by the day..We are seeing Russia testing us in Georgia and now Venezuela, N Korea backing out of another Nuke deal,Pakistan moving into chaos, and Our economy looking very weak as the congress nationalizes wall street..
NO national leadership from either party makes for a witches brew that could collapse our house of cards..
One Liberal (socialist) treachery too many..has finally brought us to this point. I fear for our Nation.

Sentiments such as that coming from the U.N. doesn't surprise me. We should shut down that building, evict its tenants, and turn it into a high-rise parking lot.
