"US walks out on Ahmadinejad’s UN speech

UNITED NATIONS – Iran’s hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad provoked yet another controversy Thursday saying a majority of people in the United States and around the world believe the American government staged the Sept. 11 terror attacks in an attempt to assure Israel’s survival."…

But, this is truly unbelievable.

"Applause for Ahmadinejad

He was greeted by applause when he walked into the United Nations General Assembly, and applauded again, even after questioning 9/11 and claiming that the American government may have been behind the attack.

That’s right, applauded after questioning the motivation for the terrorist attacks, who was responsible for them, and essentially suggesting they were a U.S. plot."…

**What a joke we have become!!

Walking out of the UN, while allowing these evil men to develop nuclear weapons, is like Neville Chamberlain’s declaration after meeting with Hitler in 1938 of

“I believe it is peace for our time?!?”

“World War II was the deadliest military conflict in history. Over 60 million people were killed.” Wikipedia**

Iran is all talk but no bite, because if they did try to bite, they’d be attacked by Israel and the United States, and its allies Russia and China wouldn’t help at all since even they’re mad at Iran. Iran is smart enough not to do anything but just make the US angry. Don’t let their government get to you, and don’t let their government speak for the millions of intelligent Iranians who hate it.
 
When our president is weak, Iran grows more difficult. Obamas administration is so comparable to Carters in this respect. Those that applauded should not get any money from us. We should begin to pull away from coming to the aid of those countries that spit in our face.

The iranian president is a tyrant and he is racist. th eun should never have given him the time of day let alone the floor. iam glad they walked out.
 
I surprised they were listening closely enough to register the insult. 🤷😃 I thought everybody just tuned out the rambling mad man. :whacky:
I had the “lovely” opportunity to listen to his last speech to the UN, and his speech was incoherent, long, rambling, with no structure, just meant to insult as many people as possible. You could tell that more than half of the delegates were just ignoring him. :yawn::sleep:

When good people ignore evil, then they are letting us all down. Of course his speech was rambling and incoherent, but everyone should have walked out!

Still this is the kind of person that rises from the Shia theocracy and a sharia state. He would not be there if the ayatollahs did not like him.

This is the direction that Islamic power has been following since 1979. Ahmadinejad is as good a face for this buffoonery as any.
And no Moe, along with Larry and Curly, have access to weapons of mass destruction.

Real slapstick, with the laughs of being make believe.

I agree. The only target they would have is Israel, and even if their one bomb vaporized, say, Tel Aviv, they would be attacked in turn by Israel. The U.S. needn’t even get involved in that event. Ahmadinejad is only a mouthpiece and has no real power; he can’t even mobilize the Army. The Ayatollahs are the only ones who can do that, the only ones with real power.

I wouldn’t have walked out on his speech. I would have had the entire American delegation start laughing at him out loud and not stop laughing throughout his speech. Humiliation, I think, would have been more effective than a gesture that he might turn to his own advantage.

I guess a few million more dead Jews is nothing to get excited over.
 
From the article:
Delegations from all 27 European Union nations followed the Americans out along with representatives from Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Costa Rica, an EU diplomat said.

With all due respect to President George W. Bush and to you Pnewton, but it is true that Iran’s position in the region was strengthened by the invasion and destabalization of Iraq, Iran’s greatest nemesis in the area, and by the subsequent fall of Saddam Hussein. I’m not saying that the invasion wasn’t justified, though I do have my doubts, or that in the long run it wasn’t the best thing to do, but with the absence of a strong military opposition in the region, represented by Iraq, Iran’s influence increased and continues to be a thorn in the side of American policy in the Middle East.

I’m not sure where you get the idea the President is weak in opposition to Iran. If it is true that President Obama is weak against Iran, then so was President Bush. After all, American policy towards Iran has changed very little since President Obama took office. As for those countries which applauded the insanity of Mr. Ahmadinejad, well, considering the number of nations that walked out of his speech, the applause couldn’t have been that great. Besides, these nations weren’t friends of the U.S. anyway and I doubt the aid we give them is all that important.

It is not true. It is an opinion. One that I do not share, but then I remember the fall of the Shah. I remember the arms build up that occurred during the Iran/Iraq war. I also have never forgotten the lesson of ancient Greece and the Peloponnesian Wars. Having two strong Islamic powers in the Middle East is not my idea of long term stability. Yes, they might have engaged in another war, or they might have turned on a common enemy, more powerfully than any could have individually.

Oh, well. It is irrelevant. We shall see soon enough the effect of the Bush Doctrine and Obama’s Middle East policy. Historically, I don’t put a lot faith in appeasement. It has a bad history.

+1.

Even if Saddam’s fall increases Iranian influence in the short term, any number Democratic movements in the post Iraq invasion Middle East. from Lebanon’s “Cedar Revolution”, to Iran’s recent election protest may prove a “Domino Effect” in the ME.

Like any mainstream Islamic populist, our friend in the Members Only Jacket has to blame everything on the old tried and true “it was the US, and da Joooos!”.

Unfortunately, his is a common belief in Muslim countries. In a 2008 poll, 55% of Egyptians, and 48% of Jordanians polled believed the US or Israel were behind 9/11, compared to the respective polled 16% and 11% who blamed al Qaeda.
