Bush at U.N.: 'We Must Stand United'

Iranian President Rails Against Zionist Bankers

By BENNY AVNI | September 24, 2008

Delivering a speech redolent of classical European anti-Semitism, the Iranian leader accused Zionists of controlling the banks and was embraced yesterday by listeners at the General Assembly. He exchanged a long hug with the Assembly president and was feted afterward with mostly friendly questions from handpicked reporters.

Mr. Ahmadinejad's speech — in which he accused "Zionists" of domineering Americans and Europeans through their banking and political activities, and predicted the rise of a "righteous and perfect human being" in their place — was denounced by Israel's President Peres as a return to the language of Hitler and the fraudulent anti-Semitic tract the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Senator Obama said he was sorry that Mr. Ahmadinejad "had a platform to air his hateful and anti-Semitic views."

A spokesman for the McCain-Palin campaign, Michael Goldfarb, responded: "It is Barack Obama who would give him the greatest platform of all, an unconditional summit with the President of the United States. Barack Obama's reckless determination to meet with a man who believes our Israeli friends are 'Zionist murderers' undermines our nation's allies and demonstrates a frightening lack of judgment."

That is a great picture.

What I find almost criminal is that every (supposedly US) news station I switched to carried the Imagonajihad speech live. He’s all over the front pages and on Drudge but not our President? WTF???

Bush should have said in his speech....

He lacks the authority to do that. What he should have done was not go at all. Demonstrate by his absence that the UN is not worth dealing with.
