Re: That incident between Syria and Israel...


It looks like he will visit ground zero anyway, with secret service protection and the blessing of Bloomberg.

http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=local&id=5665164

"Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad requested to visit Ground Zero during an upcoming trip to New York. That request was rejected Wednesday. But a source tells Eyewitness News that the decision may not stop him.

A law enforcement source says the Iranian mission to the United Nations has informed the Secret Service that the Iranian president intends to visit Ground Zero Monday at 10 a.m.

The source says regardless of the NYPD’s rejection of the request for a Ground Zero tour, Iran’s president and his entourage will be accompanied by a Secret Service protective detail, a detail provided to all heads of state when they visit the United States. "

He will also be a featured speaker at Columbia university!

In other great news, Syria has been made co-chair of the IAEA. I wish that were a joke...

Re: That incident between Syria and Israel...


I couldn't believe I was reading this out of the http://washingtontimes.com/article/20070921/NATION01/109210098/1008
It's not politically correct! ;-0

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ground Zero is not for crashing
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the well-armed fruitcake who is more or less in charge of the government in Iran, knows how to pull the chains of certain wimps in the West.

The Iranian president will arrive in New York City on Sunday for a two-day visit to the United Nations, where he will deliver one of his entertaining rants against the United States, Israel and the West. He's entitled, since we're the hosts of the United Nations (and more's the pity).

But seeing Manhattan's rich array of temptations not available in the eighth-century world whence he springs, is not enough. He wants to visit the famous hole in the ground in Lower Manhattan, put there when radical Muslims blew up the World Trade Center as a demonstration of the radical Islamic version of what President Bush calls "the religion of peace."

The Iranian mission to the U.N. says President Ahmadinejad, who regularly promises to kill everybody here, wants to lay a wreath at the site to pay his "respects."

Just looking at where the Twin Towers once stood might yield clues to how it can be done. Laying a bouquet of evening nightshade would be appropriate.

The New York Police Department offered a bureaucratic reason for saying he couldn't go. "The site is closed to visitors because of construction there," said the deputy police commissioner. But his boss, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, said Mayor Michael Bloomberg himself, ever the nebbish, invited Mr. Ahmadinejad to visit ground zero. He envisioned himself in a nifty photo-op, escorting a celebrity to inspect the grim handiwork of 9/11.

Once revealed, the mayor tried unsuccessfully to distance himself from himself. He sent out a mouthpiece to decline to confirm or deny the police commissioner's revelation. "There is nothing to discuss," he said, several times. "The police are not permitting him to go to ground zero." Sometimes a waspish denial is merely an eloquent confirmation.

'Tis a pity that such a worm, glamorous as he may be in certain Upper East Side salons, is denied a welcome by mere bureaucratic circumlocutions. When a visiting Saudi prince came to New York in the wake of 9/11 with a gift of $10 million and a sneer at America's friendship with Israel, Rudy Giuliani, then the mayor of Gotham, told him where to stuff it.

The White House said the properly correct thing in the language the White House must use in speaking of heads of state. "It's a matter for the city of New York," George W.'s spokesman said, "but it seems odd that the president of a country that is a leading state sponsor of terror would visit ground zero." Odd indeed, and it would be nice if the White House would instruct the Secret Service to tell the Iranian mission at the U.N. that Mr. Ahmadinejad will not be allowed to visit ground zero, no matter how much he wants to pay his "respects" at ground zero, and make it clear that the refusal has more to do with decency and honor than with considerations of the Iranian president's personal security.

Rudy Giuliani, who made his reputation at ground zero, was particularly outraged and the outrage looked authentic (not always easy for a pol). "This is a man who has made threats against America and Israel, is harboring Osama bin Laden's son and other al Qaeda leaders, is shipping arms to Iraqi insurgents and is pursuing the development of nuclear weapons. Assisting Ahmadinejad in touring ground zero, hallowed ground for all Americans, is outrageous."

Mitt Romney, eager to one-up his rival, was "shocked" by the audacity of it all, and said the Iranian president "should be handed an indictment under the Genocide Convention" when he arrives.

Even Hillary Clinton got into the spirit of the moment. It's "unacceptable" for the Iranian president to visit "the site of the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil."

But there's good news for aficionados of anti-American venom. Columbia University, though far uptown from ground zero, invited Mr. Ahmadinejad to take his message of hatred of the West to what are likely to be the friendly precincts of Morningside Heights.
You never know where you'll find an appetite for fruitcake.

Re: That incident between Syria and Israel...


Iran President Ahmadinejad Rips U.S.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - A day before flying to New York to speak directly to the American people, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad struck a confrontational tone Saturday with a parade of fighter jets and missiles and tough warnings for the United States to stay out of the Mideast.
Three new domestically manufactured warplanes streaked over the capital during the parade marking the 27th anniversary of the Iraqi invasion of Iran, which sparked a 1980-88 war that killed hundreds of thousands of people. The parade also featured the Ghadr missile, which has a range of 1,120 miles, capable of reaching Israel.

Some of the missile trucks were painted with the slogans "Down with the U.S." and "Down with Israel." The parade also featured unmanned aerial surveillance drones, torpedoes, and tanks.

Tensions are high between Washington and Tehran over U.S. accusations that Iran is secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons and helping Shiite militias in Iraq that target U.S. troops. Iran denies the claims.

Washington has said it is addressing the Iran situation diplomatically, rather than militarily, but U.S. officials also say that all options are open.

"Those (countries) who assume that decaying methods such as psychological war, political propaganda and the so-called economic sanctions would work and prevent Iran's fast drive toward progress are mistaken," Ahmadinejad.

Iran launched an arms development program during its war with Iraq to compensate for a U.S. weapons embargo. Since 1992, Iran has produced its own jets, torpedoes, radar-avoiding missiles, tanks and armored personnel carriers.

"Those who prevented Iran, at the height of the war from getting even barbed wire must see now that all the equipment on display today has been built by the mighty hands and brains of experts at Iran's armed forces," Ahmadinejad said.

He is expected to address the American people directly in an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" airing Sunday, and through appearances at the U.N., Columbia University and several other events.

His request to lay a wreath at the World Trade Center site was denied and condemned by Sept. 11 family members and politicians. Protests against his Columbia appearance are planned at the university and the United Nations by demonstrators angry at his questioning of the Holocaust and declarations that Israel will cease to exist.

Iran and the U.S. have not had diplomatic ties since militants took over the U.S. Embassy following the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Since then, the cleric-led regime has vilified the United States as the "Great Satan."

Despite Ahmadinejad's frequent anti-U.S. rhetoric, he has tried to appeal to the American people before. Recently, he told a live satellite television show that his country wanted peace and friendship with the U.S. Since coming to power in 2005, Ahmadinejad has also sent letters to the American people in which he criticized Bush's Mideast policy.

He is scheduled to address the General Assembly on Tuesday—his third time attending the New York meeting in three years. Last year, Ahmadinejad was harshly critical of U.S. policies in Iraq and Lebanon and insisted that his nation's nuclear activities were "transparent."

At the parade, Ahmadinejad repeated his demand for foreign forces to leave the region and urged the United States to acknowledge it has failed in Iraq. Outside the 160,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, there are 40,000 troops on U.S. bases in Persian Gulf countries and another 20,000 in Mideast waters.

"Nations throughout the region do not need the presence of the foreigners to manage their own needs. Foreign presence is the root cause of all instability, differences and threats," he said.

On the sidelines of the parade, the head of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, Mohammad Ali Jafari, said the event highlighted the "might of Iran's armed forces to its enemies," adding that Iran is ready to retaliate if attacked.

"Iran has drawn up plans to confront enemies in the face of any possible attack," the official IRNA news agency quoted Jafari as saying.

The Bush administration is expected to soon blacklist a unit of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, subjecting part of the vast military operation to financial penalties. The step would be in response to Iran's involvement in Iraq and elsewhere.

The U.S. is also leading a push in the U.N. Security Council for a third round of economic sanctions against Iran over its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes including generating electricity. The Security Council is not expected to take up the issue before October.

"Learn lessons from your past mistakes. Don't repeat your mistakes," he said in a warning to the United States over its push to impose more sanctions.
