Iran's President to address UN General Assembly at about 630 pm... Expected to explain why it needs nuclear program and why the world should back off...

Has FNC got Krauthammer tonight? If so, hope he sticks around.

I'm sure I'll see a repeat of it every hour on the hour when I get home. Oh joy.

It just really ticks me off that this a-hole is in this country right now and we can't take him out. It's almost like inviting someone who wants to kill your entire family over for supper.

NEW YORK (AP) -- President Vicente Fox says Mexico is willing to extradite all major drug lords in its custody wanted by the United States.

Hi!

*waves*

Scroll up for the brilliant drinking-thread-protocol of the night.

(Bush is rocking, BTW.)

[mewzilla]

Wow. Wonder what it's gonna cost us?

[Feiny]

What about the murderers?

[Miss Marple]

I should also point out that Boxer's statement about "people making too big a deal of this" about Nut-job is the best hope they have of holding down a Bush bounce over this. They can't agree with the Iranian publicly, they can't agree with Bush without alienating the moonbat donors, so.....they have decided that "everyone is making too much of this."

That's my opinion, and if anyone can come up with a better explanation I sure would like to hear it.

[jennyjenny]

hehe. The day is getting better by the minute!

[Dog]

He wants something in return..

[Darlin']

Me, too! LOL

[onyx]

WOW!

Good to see you, jaz

Mexican president pledges to extradite all drug lords wanted by U.S.

NEW YORK (AP) -- President Vicente Fox said Tuesday that Mexico is willing to extradite any drug lord in its custody wanted by the United States.

Fox said Mexico currently has 16 "big leaders" of drug gangs in jail along with 75,000 lower level members of various cartels. The U.S. is believed to have requested the extradition of at least three suspected drug kingpins: Benjamin Arellano Felix of the Arellano Felix smuggling syndicate; Osiel Cardenas, reputed head of the Gulf Cartel; and Hector "El Guero" Palma, a reputed leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel.

"We will extradite all of those who have pending matters with U.S. justice," Fox told a news conference in New York where he was attending the United Nations General Assembly.

It was the first time Mexico's president had made such a sweeping commitment to send wanted drug lords to face charges in the U.S.

Mexico extradited its first major drug lord -- accused kingpin Francisco Rafael Arellano Felix -- to the United States over the weekend. Before that, Mexico had often balked at sending drug kingpins, arguing they should face justice in Mexico and refusing to send anyone to the U.S. who would face the death penalty.
