Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Arrives in NYC

Why is this guy even allowed near the United States? Take the UN, pack it up and put it in the heart of Iran, get it the hell out of this country. And to be invited to speak at one of our colleges? That is appalling.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Arrives in NYC, Dismisses Nuke Threat in TV Interview

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made a low-key entrance into New York City on Sunday evening amid extremely tight security as he faces a firestorm of controversy surrounding his visit to address the U.N. General Assembly and speak to students and teachers during a forum at Columbia University.

Ahmadinejad said the American people have been denied “correct information,” and his visit will give them 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.

Ahmadinejad, who has called the Holocaust “a myth,” encouraged the destruction of Israel and supported terrorists in Iraq, will address the United Nations General Assembly and a Columbia University forum but will not be allowed to tour Ground Zero.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini appeared dismayed that Ahmadinejad’s request to visit the site of the World Trade Center attacks was rejected. more–>
