Columbia president slams Ahmadinejad

The thing is, the vermin are already exposed to the sane among us. Even the French have harsh things to say about Gilligan (sorry, I call Akmadidi that because he looks like a weathered Bob Denver ). I don't think they should have let him into the country in the first place. The peanut farmer deported Iranian students back in his day;is it any less reasonable to deny entry to a head of state who plays an active role in harming our troops in Iraq?

True, but brother Jimmy had to play with an angry, vengeful public. I remember training at OCS with Iranian officers. They all loved America, and like Iranians now, would want more freedom. We just made a huge mistake putting the Shah in power via the CIA. How can we not think there will be consequences in trying to manipulate foreign governments to the point where we install their head of state? Regarding Iran, we have basically 2 choices. Use diplomacy or use the military. We can bomb the heck out of Iran, but you better go buy a Vespa beforehand. Letting the likes of Chavez, Ahmadinejad, and Castro run their mouth shows the power of our traditions, not theirs. Would you want the United Nations in Tehran or New York. Ok, I know your answer, but look where war has gotten us.

:rofl:

see what I mean?

The U.S. contends that the organization of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah"]Hezbollah[/ame] has been involved in several anti-American terrorist attacks, including the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_1983_United_States_Embassy_bombing"]April 1983 United States Embassy bombing[/ame] which killed 17 Americans, the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Beirut_barracks_bombing"]1983 Beirut barracks bombing[/ame] which killed 241 U.S. peace keepers in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanon"]Lebanon[/ame], and the 1996 [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khobar_Towers_bombing"]Khobar Towers bombing[/ame].
A U.S. District court judge ruled in 2003 that the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_1983_United_States_Embassy_bombing"]April 1983 United States Embassy bombing[/ame] was by what had been at the time been a new organization called Hezbollah supported by the state of Iran. [10]
In May 2003, in a case brought by the families of the 241 servicemen who were killed, U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth declared that the Islamic Republic of Iran was responsible for the 1983 attack. Lamberth concluded that Hezbollah was formed under the auspices of the Iranian government, was completely reliant on Iran in 1983, and assisted Iranian Ministry of Information and Security agents in carrying out the operation. [11]
A U.S. federal court has found that the Khobar Towers bombing was authorized by Ali Khamenei, then [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayatollah"]ayatollah[/ame] of Iran [12]

BTW our Troops ARE there..........

For those of you that did not read the (8) page letter Ahmadinejad wrote to President George W. Bush; and for those of you that do not remember it exactly;

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad starts right in on George Bush's Christian beliefs, all but accusing his American counterpart of being a hypocrite. "Can one be a follower of Jesus Christ, feel obliged to respect human rights, announce one's opposition to the proliferation of nuclear weapons and WMDs, make war on terror his slogan, but at the same time, have countries attacked, the lives, reputations and possessions of people destroyed?"

I'm not so sure. I heard a replay of an interview of Janeane Garofalo that "one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter." I bet the Iranian's love to hear that.

He is for the most part correct about the Iraq war.

I think most Americans agree he's a scumbag nut job.

Iranians..............not so much - at least not when he was first elected. His popularity has plummetted since then as inflation is 20% a year and his election promises of economic prosperity have not been fulfilled.

He NEEDS scapegoats like the Jews, Americans, infidels etc. as distractions, he's not just talking out his arse (despite what it sounds like). People in THIS country have denied the Holocaust despite overwhelming evidence - it's even easier in the controlled educational systems and propaganda factories of other countries.

He seems really frustrated about nuclear power being denied to their country. I just don't get the whole thing. Is there a difference in the type of material used to make energy and used to make a nuclear bomb or is that just another one of his lies to try and make us look greedy?

Just remember he's a bad leader. Most Iranians harbor no ill will toward America. Heck, we've got a bad leader now too. He'll be gone soon.

well, is it true, is all I'm askin'?

Good for you for being brave enough to ask.

Thanks. I really appreciate your speakin' up for me and my question. ;-)

Had to pull this over from the 'far right' thread, and ask again, is this true?
2. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's
Daddy made war on him , a good guy when Cheney did business with him,
and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.
I believe this may be what he was talking about, and what I was asking about. Is this true, please anyone? What business did Cheney do with him?
I'm not saying I like the guy. I know he's wrong about the gay population. I felt it was foolish and to question the holocaust, but that is his right. I think he thinks we doubt what happened in his country, and I believe that may have been his way of trying to get our attention. It worked, didn't it?

I this freedom to speak. I AMERICA!!! I OUR TROOPS!!! Last I checked I was still amongst the sane too even though I haven't got it all figured out quite yet. ;-) Probably never will either.:roll: Maybe someone with an expensive designer t-shirt can explain it.

;-) Kris-

When Dick Cheney was CEO of the oilfield supply firm Halliburton, the company did $23.8 million in business with Saddam Hussein...

In big oil; they SAY it is impossible NOT to business with the middle east; maybe some one more familiar with the industry can elaborate on that....




When Cheney left Halliburton, he received a $34 million severance package despite the fact that the single biggest deal of his five-year career there, the acquisition of Dresser Industries, turned out to be a huge blunder since the company came saddled with asbestos liability. (On the campaign trail, Cheney often claimed he had been "out in the private sector creating jobs." The first thing he did after the Dresser merger was lay off 10,000 people.)
Halliburton, America's No. 1 oil-services company, is the nation's fifth-largest military contractor and the biggest non-union employer in the United States. It employs more than 100,000 workers worldwide and does over $15 billion a year. Halliburton under Cheney dealt with several brutal dictatorships, including the despicable government of Burma (Myanmar). The company also played questionable roles in Algeria, Angola, Bosnia, Croatia, Haiti, Somalia and Indonesia. Halliburton also had dealings with Iran and Libya, both on the State Department's list of terrorist states. Halliburton's subsidiary Brown & Root, the old Texas construction firm that does much business with the U.S. military, was fined $3.8 million for re-exporting goods to Libya in violation of U.S. sanctions.

This stroy gets more involved; but you get the point; I dont want to turn this into a Dem/rep thread; there are copius threads on that in this arena;-)

Thanks Biffer Wow, that Cheney really made a lot of moolah off the war. Thanks for shedding even more light about some of his dealings. Enough with this oil mess. Hopefully, more research will be funded to come up with more alternative energy sources. In the meantime, it would be nice if just a little of the money spent on funding this war was spent trying to reach out and understand one another. Wouldn't that be a beautiful day when we could all get along? I'm proud of our country for letting him speak.

IM PROUD OF YOU KRIS!

Aw-Biffer, thanks. Sorry about the designer t-shirt thang. I couldn't resist from the other thread. ;-)

I must have missed it....

Initially I was taken back by his comical comment regarding homosexuality as being non existent in Iran, but Farsi to American translation can be easily misunderstood. I think the point he was expressing was that in Iran there is no such thing as gay pride day or gay marriage as is the case in the States.

Bollingers shameful Bush-league prepared speech was an embarrassment to what this country principles were founded on like freedom of speech. I think it was totally inappropriate regardless of what ones' opinions are of Ahmadinejad.

Very well put. It was disgraceful and showed the type of class that the President of Columbia had in behaving the way he did toward a head of state that was invited by him to come and speak at his University.

I guess war with Iran is next. So sad. Some feed back on this video. Could you watch it without crying?

I believe he has been depicted by the United States government and MSM to be a scumbag. It appeared to me that he conducted himself as a gentleman when he spoke at Columbia University.

Not all is ever as it appears; he did invite the faculty back to Iran to speak and that in itself spoke somewhat of his character.

It is sad, but it is my belief we will be a war with Iran by year's end, and for what?
