Anyone know where I can find an audio or video stream of Ahmadinejad's appearance at columbia? Blan on blogging it I can find one.
I would ask him “Why do you, a dictator known to harbor terrorism, support al-Qaida, sell weapons to the insurgents in Iraq, deny the Holocaust, insist on nuking Israel off the map, and threaten the US every day, insist on speaking to American college students and visiting Ground Zero, the site of two building that, by the help of your cronies, are now a pile of rubble?”
In a way I wish I was at Columbia today. I would loooove to ask that question. I just hope they won’t taser me...
WOW...that is a very telling quote that shows the liberals for the traitors they are.
Did he kill the 50 scientists he lost? Sheesh like someone that kills their mom and dad telling a sob story about being an orphan.
ahem, that was meant to read “not sure if it’s...”
Kurt Waldheim was barred by the Justice Department from entering during his term as President of Austria. However, I don't believe he ever tried to enter the US to address the UN. That would have been a test of our host country agreement with the UN. To the best of my knowledge, it has never been tested.
It’s ok to post the article but the NY Times must be posted as an excerpt.
Thanks.
The collective “we” is America. I am not suggesting that the USG get involved.
10-4, thanks
An anvil would look better than the pancake.
Thanks. C-SPAN will air everything tonight at 11:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). I’ll have to TIVO it or watch a video stream on their website.
lol
Oh well, the international community will have to send us a harshly worded letter.
A few countries might imprison our diplomats, if we start violating treaty obligations whose origins extend back to antiquity.
I am certain that if Hitler were alive, they would say the same. Nutjob vs DUmmies? It's a toss-up. I can't tell which is more insane.
At least DU isn't working on nuclear weapons, so I guess that makes them less of a threat.
That is why it was so stupid to invite him here in the first place. The publicity he will get from this, after all the truth is cut out, after they remove the comments by the Dean, and they erase the hard questions he was asked and could not or did not answer. There is no way anyone in Iran will get to see Ahmadinejad's obvious stupidity and how inept and uneducated he truly is. This is exactly what he wanted.He couldn't have paid for a better propaganda stunt in his country!
He got applause (from some either stoned students or "plants,") he got a crowd to come there (it doesn't matter that the majority were protesting his visit - just the crowd will be shown in Iran and that will be touted as a success), and he got the invitation.
These will carry him a long way in Iran because of how it will be projected there.
How dumb can we be that we have given this this terrorist dictator the opportunity to use our own people to advance his hatred against our country; his reputation, his lies, his prejudices, and his insane policy in his country to his advantage? Didn't anyone at Columbia think how this will be turned around to show we favored him, and used to further strengthen their belief that everyone in the US is against all current U.S policy/leaders? How can a college dean not understand anything about "spins" when it comes to politics, and the way a country and leader like Ahmadinejad will turn this around to make it all appear favorable? In Iran they certainly won't hear the truth about this farce of a speech; they certainly won't be told how dumb and flustered he was, and they certainly won't hear the "boos," -- or any of the after-speech negative commentary and intelligent analysis stating that he "said nothing except lies and drivel," that he received.
I give up when I think of our own ability (and our idealistic naiveté to think these people fight fair!) to put our own heads on the block when it comes to international propaganda! aaa,pa. And we wonder why President Bush says that negotiations/talks with idiots like these are fruitless. Anyone with half a brain has just seen why!
Like who?
Countries we shouldn’t be in in the first place.
We don’t owe terrorist leaders anything.
If people can’t understand that - they were never our friends to begin with.
At least see the good that our fellow Americans witnessed.
Iran was not propogandized, they live in that society. Just another day.
Mahomophobe Ahmadinejad that is what Americans who give a crap saw....
I think we had a coup today : )
Just what countries do you want us to not spy on? That is one of the major purposes of diplomacy you know.
We’re friends with the russians and chinese and they’re increasing covert operations in our nations.
So really - diplomacy has limited advantages.
And besides, I’m asking you which countries are going to start arresting our officials?
inviting him to hear him say stupid things like ‘there are no gay people in iran’ and ‘911 might be inside job’ to prove that he is stupid is like needing to stick scissors in an electrical socket to prove electricity is dangerous
we should not have had to ‘get first hand proof’ or whatever columbia was trying to pull
the whole thing is embarassing
