| Ahmadinejad in NY: 'The nuclear bomb is today of no use' |
| 2007-09-24 |
| Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrived in New York on Sunday as critics protested his planned speech at Columbia University and the hardline leader denied that his country building a nuclear weapon. "In political relations right now, the nuclear bomb is of no use," Ahmadinejad said in a "60 Minutes" interview airing Sunday. "If it was useful it would have prevented the downfall of the Soviet Union. If it was useful it would resolved the problem the Americans have in Iraq. The time of the bomb is passed." |

| #18 "The nuclear bomb is today of no use" Let's just test that theory, shall we? We'll see how little use a nuclear bomb is when Tehran and Qom assume a temperature of 6,000 C. |

| #17 When asked about acknowledging the right of Israel to exist he said: "The right of all to vote in the Palestine elections, Jews, Arabs, Christians and Muslims should be respected by all." I guess that mean's Israel can't exist but Jews should have some sort of vote in "Greater Palestine". Reporters seem to be missing that. |

| #16 No, it's just that Cyrus the Great is dealt with at length in only two books of the Old Testament, smn. The charming story of Daniel is one, the historic document of Cyrus' ending of the Babylonian Exile in Ezra/Esdras is the other. The imagery in Daniel is much more poetic. :-) |

| #15 You're very intuitive trailing wife (#10), I find solace at times revisiting the Hebrew Scriptures, especially after brainstorming the Unified Field Theory with colleagues. Ahmadinejad and his meaning often refracts the spectrum of my thoughts. |

| #13 Again, I don't speak with all the knowledge that most here have, but IMHO; Columbia University cleared out the Minute Men from speaking awhile back, how is it they welcome Ahmadinejad. Boggles. I heard that he's still planning to go see ground zero, and if there are any crowds protesting he will be able to use that in his twisted message to the Iranians back home. We need to get the UN out of our country. To allow him into the UN is one thing, to allow him free reign to go to other parts of our country is just wrong. It almost seems like we should be able to hold him accountable in a court of law for his previous crimes if he steps out of the UN grounds. Huh? "In political relations right now, the nuclear bomb is of no use," That'll all change the moment he gets his dirty little hands on one, though. as usual right on Zenster. |

| #11 Daniel.... ooh lion's dens and all... Good point no lions in the MidEast any more. Greenpeace should be lobbying for the re-introduction of these animal species like they are arguing for the introduction of African ones in the US West and EU East. Maybe mountain lions, wolves and grizzlys from the US West would make good replacements and warm the Left's coal hearts. |

| #8 PS: WTF is "60 Minutes" doing airing the views of our nation's declared enemy? The MSM has been on a campaign for months to "humanize" the Iranian thugocracy. I recall seeing some treacly thumb-sucker on the History Channel (or maybe Dateline) on Iran a few weeks back; I hit the remote as soon as I picked up the thinly-veiled central message: "They're nice people, just like us-- and unlike our own government!" WTF is "60 Minutes" doing? Just being good little progressives, is all... |

| #5 Very correct Zenster, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's sole mission bestowed upon his head by the ruling Mullah Council is to stall the world, make time sloowwww, while the Iranian 'chiselers' continue to carve at that wooden circle to match the square peg. Until Man can unlock the forces from the next level of dynamic energy, that of matter/antimatter annihilation and micro singularity creation, fission and fusion at the atomic level represents the zenith in man's desire to be 'like God'! It would be the pinnacle of supreme honor for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and his minions to present the 12th Imam with the sacrifice befitting his return and resumption of rule. The world will deny the nation this vision, just as Cyrus The Great was denied his in 530 B.C.E. |
