| TEHRAN (AP) — President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday that the American people are eager for different opinions about the world, and he is looking forward to providing them with "correct and clear information," state media reported. The hardline Iranian leader left Sunday for New York to address the U.N. General Assembly and speak to students and teachers during a forum at Columbia University. Ahmadinejad said his visit will give Americans a chance to hear a different voice, the official IRNA news agency reported. "The United States is a big and important country with a population of 300 million. Due to certain issues, the American people in the past years have been denied correct and clear information about global developments and are eager to hear different opinions," Ahmadinejad was quoted by IRNA as saying. State-run television also quoted Ahmadinejad before boarding his presidential plane Sunday as saying that the General Assembly was an "important podium" to express Iran's views on regional and global issues. Columbia canceled a planned visit by the Iranian president last year, citing security and logistical reasons. Ahmadinejad has called the Holocaust "a myth" and called for Israel to be "wiped off the map." Hosseini said there "are efforts to cancel" the Columbia speech, but the Iranian government is continuing to pursue the program. He did not elaborate other than saying a lot of pressure was being placed on the program's sponsors. That must be the special "Persian pressure" so beloved by US institutions of higher education. But don't worry Mr. Midget, the administration of Columbia U. will make sure the hall is filled with people ready, willing, and able to give you a standing "O" as you stride towards the podium. |

| #4 A report at Michelle Malkin's site says that a Columbia grad was recently released from a Persian prison, which may lead one to consider that part of the "pressure" tactics was a quid pro quo. |

| #2 Dubya has reportedly said HILLARY will be the Dems nominee for 2008, whilst DICK MORRIS [NEWSMAX] has claimed that the US Dems are poised to control the Congress after 2008, besides also likely winning the WH. IOW, WOT [post-Dubya] > MAY NOW BECOME THE WAR FOR GLOBAL-EMPIRIC BUREUACRACY/ADMINISTRATION + GLOBAL WELFARISM. Whether the USA successfully protects its sovereignty + identity + Federalist-Republican structure, etal. IN THE NAME OF ITSELF IS UNCLEAR. Remember, DIALECTICISM/WAFFLEISM/ CORRECTNESS > WOT > ANTI-US LEFTS + ALIGNED > USA CAN WAR FOR GLOBAL EMPIRE AS LONG AS IT LOSES = GIVES UP ITS EMPIRE IN THE END, VOLUNTARILY = FORCIBLY, UNILATERALLY = MILITARILY BY THE WORLD COMMUNITY. |

| #1 Sounds like MOUD read DRUDGE's report on Dubya saying Hillary will win the Dem nomination for 2008. OTOH, OSAMA > reportedly worried about the future of Al-Qaeda. Iff the USA doesn't attack Iran and becomes involved in LT "quagmire", instead of being a Islamist Messiah = Hero his legacy will be the destruction of Radical Islamism coupled wid the greater [global]empowerment of America, all of which is contrary to his and Islamism's criticisms of America + desire to get the US-West out of the Muslim ME. AS WITH MOUD, OSAMA MAY NO LONGER BE ABLE TO RELY ON ANTI-US US FORCES INSIDE AMER PER SE [read - 2008 POTUS ELex]. As a saying goes its when things look bad or are at their worst that divine/heavenly miracles occur, correct??? |
