Ahmadinejad: We Love All Nations
So, I’m watching Ahmadinejad’s speech, right now and I couldn’t help but notice his glaring lies. He goes on about Iran having Nuclear contracts with the U.S. and several other countries that were canceled. Of course they were! The Iranian revolution and the taking of hostages insured that would occur. For some reason, Ahmadinejad thinks that because we were going to help Iran build nuclear power plants when the Shah of Iran was in power, we should afford them the latitude to continue with those nuclear ambitions…
When asked to answer Yes or No to a question about wanting the destruction of Israel, Ahmadinejad complained ad nauseum about the question. Later on, he mentioned that Jews live safely in Iran. Obviously, he is ignoring his proxy war on Jews through Hezbollah…
When asked if he supported Terrorists, he threw the question back at the questioner asking something to the effect of: Iran is a victim of terroristm: if there were bombs exploding all around you and you were the President, wouldn’t you say that those who are doing the bombing are terrorists? In effect, implying that the United States was a terrorist state
When asked about homosexuals in Iran, Ahmadinejad stated that they don’t have homosexuals in Iran like America does. Rounds of laughter could be heard in the audience. Of course, he didn’t mention that they hang homosexuals in Iran...
All in all, his refusal to directly answer the questions posed to him is a grave error on his part. Even CNN Commentators (Mrs. Bulldog just had me cracking up by calling them “Common ‘taters”) were critical of his elusiveness.

As stated previously, Dr. Ahmadinejad must have obtained his Phd from a box of moldy cereal. The ertgot rye has infected the Mullahs and now their political figurehead. ajh

I watched most of it before going to work. The world now can see what the United States is dealing with. Will the United States be pushed to destroy Iran’s nuke construction sites, and was the mad man allowed to speak just for that reason?

Great point on the homosexual answer. This is all gravy for him and the folks back home.

It doesn’t mean a thing. Despite the poor performance of monkeyman we will still hear the same old same old. In other words, more appeasement.

I am disgusted that he was given a platform.

Shame on you americans!
Maybe Ahmadinejad is an SOB, but he is your guest and should’ve been treated with respect. If you dont like what he thinks than dont give hime a word, or you expected him to say smth. different? But if you gave him a word, than dont turn it into a cheap show and a public humiliation of a foreign leader. It is unfair. He is an SOB, but he had enough courage to come into an unfriendly environment (like Columbia) under constant mocking and accusations and answer the questions. You didnt like what he said, but thats what you invited him for – to share what he thinks.
Though yeah, shouting accusations from the safety of your country is easy. What about saying this to a group of tough iranies outside?
You better not accuse Ahmadinejad for what he thinks but your own authorities for giving him a platform.

He’s not MY guest! And, yes we did complain to the politicians. That’s why he’s not invited to Ground Zero.
Also, we were perfect gentlemen – giving him a standing ovation, applauding him, and cheering… Just read this report:

Che ~ That is almost funny! Perhaps Ahmadinawhatever is a little less delusional in his idea that Americans actual like him.

[What a name lol]
“than dont turn it into a cheap show and a public humiliation of a foreign leader.”
Sunshine is the best disinfectant.
“under constant mocking and accusations and answer the questions. ”
Mocking? lol He is a tin pot dictator, he deserves it. If he can sling the crap, then he had better expect some to be slung back in his direction.
Accusations =Truth
And excuse me he was not straightforward in his replies. He either evaded the question outright or lied. [roll eyes]
“You better not accuse Ahmadinejad for what he thinks’
What is your malfunction? He is nothing but a lying twisted little hitler wannabe who is brain washed by islam Creepy combo.
“but your own authorities for giving him a platform.”
Authorities? Do you not read? It was Columbia University whom had given him a platform.

Screw moon god worshipers across the globe. Imamadjacket should have been arrested, tried, and shot at dawn for his terror in the middle east, and elsewhere.
The short little POS!

Guys, in every country a visit of a foreign leader is coordinated with a foreign ministry protocol department. He can not be invited anywhere or exposed to media without approval.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad clashed with an American university president who called him a “petty and cruel dictator”
Introducing the Iranian president, Columbia University President Lee Bollinger said Ahmadinejad behaved as a “petty and cruel dictator” and that his Holocaust denials suggested he was either “brazenly provocative or astonishingly uneducated.”
- that is being a gentelmen eh? Hell of a coutresy.
In better english this guy reflects my position
http://www.dctojerusalem.com/archives/23
I have returned to my blog here to discuss the various news items emanating from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s impending visit to the United States to take part in the United Nations General Assembly. Ahmadinejad requested permission to lay a wreath at Ground Zero and has been scheduled to speak at Columbia University this coming Monday. Although I fully understand and appreciate these sentiments, the burden of living in a free society dictates that we must respect speech, no matter how horrible its vehicle.
The NYPD’s decision to bar Ahmadinejad from Ground Zero makes logistical sense if nothing else. As one of the world’s largest hatemongers and as the president of the worst state sponsor of terrorism, Ahmadinejad’s presence at the World Trade Center site could easily provoke a riot and endanger his safety.
The hysteria surrounding Ahmadinejad’s speech at Columbia University is just ridiculous. The man stands for almost everything I am against, but he should be allowed to speak to an informed American audience. The suppression of objectionable speech is wrong – so long as that speech doesn’t incite violence or other critical thresholds. Instead, it should be met with debate. Columbia’s president should be applauded, not slandered, for his insistence that Ahmadinejad split his time evenly between speaking and answering questions. This is precisely the type of freedom we are trying to export around the world; what type of example would we be setting if we did not permit people like Ahmadinejad from speaking.
This whole incident brings up the recent tussle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton about speaking to foreign dictators. Obama has it 100-percent correct – we should not be afraid of losing a so-called propaganda war with a genocidal, Holocaust-denying, freedom suppressing despot from one of the most despicable regimes in the world. The American ideal is a shining example to the world and on our merits, we win against people like Ahmadinejad every time.
America is the greatest country in the world precisely because we allow people like Ahmadinejad to speak, no matter how hard we disagree with him. Now, I only wish I could be there to see it.

Che,
No one stopped him from speaking. He spoke and they listened. What’s the problem?

Che,
There is no way anyone could do the same in his country.
That he could even come here and speak without being worried that someone would kill him, or angry mobs would kill him, speaks volumes.
The guy is a turd.
