President Ahmadinejad addresses the parliament on Iran's fourth development plans in Tehran, September 17, 2007.

In a move that has stunned New York, the Bloomberg administration is in discussions to escort the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to ground zero during his visit to New York next week, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said today.
The Iranian mission to the U.N. made the request to the New York City Police Department and the Secret Service, who will jointly oversee security during the president's two-day visit. Mr. Ahmadinejad is scheduled to arrive September 24 to speak to the U.N. General Assembly as the Security Council decides whether to increase sanctions against Iran for its uranium enrichment program.
Mr. Kelly said the NYPD and Secret Service were in discussions with the Iranian mission about the logistics for the possible visit, and whether it will take place at all. He said Mr. Ahmadinejad would not be allowed to descend into the pit for safety reasons related to ongoing construction there.

We should make him go down there and work seeing as though Iran bombed the towers in the first place.

If you have any insight into patching up relations with a man that doesn't believe the Holocaust happened and won't stop short of wiping Israel off the map, I'm sure plenty of people that would listen.

it's no secret that I'm a jew and I support Israel, that said... if talking will stop action, even if you're lying through your teeth, then i'm all for it.
He might deny the Holocaust, but I don't see how that's relevant to the world today. And he might want to wipe out Israel, but if he doesn't actually do anything, well, hate on brotha.

Sure, if talking will stop action, I'm all for that. I feel that, by supporting a variety of actions around the middle east, he's already taken the issue beyond something that talking can remedy. I don't believe that the U.S. should supply a security force to cater to his wants and needs when he visits the U.N. I dunno, by denying the holocaust you submit that there has been some massive conspiracy to create an awful image of death and destruction wrought by a madman that is completely false. That sounds like crazy talk to me, so I see it as relevant.

He's clearly loony. And while they have supported violent action, well, I kind of think you have allow a little.
It's like commuting to work on a bicycle... you know people get hit, but you just have to accept it.
I gotta pee.

I don't like the guy, or much care for Huego Chavez, but I like the idea that they can come here and speak and that we give them that right. Being the host country, we have an obligation to protect these people.

I don't disagree with the idea of allowing him to speak to the U.N. What I don't like is the fact that we're willing to provide security for him to sight see around N.Y.

It's probably our way of keeping an eye on him. :brows:
Can you imagine him walking around with his own entourage of terrorists and madmen? :D

His own security force...like every other country employs, yes. I don't feel that kissing this guy's ass will improve relations.

Give the guy a NYC taxi and he can drive himself there. The biggest threat he'd face is a tweaked trader trying to catch the last ferry to Fire Island.

I'm sure if I completely understood all the subtle references that I'd find that very clever and funny.
But I only got the "give him a taxi" part :(
Looks like he doesn't get to visit ground zero
