He’s half-joking but it may come to that. Against all odds, this thing looks like it’s going to happen. The word today from the relevant powers that be is that there’s simply nothing they can do — nothing to stop him from entering the country, nothing to restrict his movement when he’s here, and nothing to keep him away from one small spot downtown. It’s an absurd microcosm of American impotence in the face of terror. He might as well drop trou and take a leak into the pit just to prove the point.
The NYPD wants no part of it but the Secret Service says it’s obliged to provide security and will be there to protect him if he ventures downtown. The Port Authority, which owns the Trade Center site, claims it hasn’t received any requests from the Iranian mission but I think their approval would only be needed if Ahmadinejad wanted to enter the footprint, which the NYPD has already ruled out. If he wants to lay a wreath on the public sidewalk surrounding the site, we’re told, they can’t stop him. Or can they?
There may be a number of grounds for restrictions to be laid on the Iranian leader. Individuals may be denied a visa to come to New York under the terms of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which can bar a visit for national security reasons, according a State Department official who requested anonymity.
A recent example is the case of Ali Reza Moaiyeri, Iran’s ambassador to the U.N. institutions in Geneva, Switzerland. The State Department confirmed yesterday that Mr. Moaiyeri was barred from joining the Iranian delegation to the U.N. General Assembly next week.
But the restrictions under the Immigration and Nationality Act have never been applied to a head of state. “We are the host here. Just because we don’t like somebody, we can’t refuse them entry to the United Nations,” the State Department official said.
If you can refuse him entry to the country, you can limit his visa to Turtle Bay and the immediate vicinity while he’s here. In fact, John Bolton offered that as a compromise solution to NRO this morning. Another alternative is for the city to close the site, either de facto by granting a permit to the thousands of protesters who are expected down there Monday morning to greet Ahmadinejad that would let access and surround the site, or de jure by negotiating something with the Port Authority and Larry Silverstein to declare the footprint and the area immediately around it a temporary safety hazard of some sort. No one will mind and it’ll let Bloomberg show that Rudy’s not the only mayor with balls when it comes to Islamist scum.
Some of the left, in its exquisite enlightenment, has decided he should be allowed down there to take a metaphorical dump in the cemetery lest we be seen as meanly denying a terrorist his right to propaganda. Sample quote, almost endearing in its precious, childlike gullibility: “[H]ere this man comes, to make an ostensibly good-faith gesture and to pay respects to our dead.” Read Roggio for the latest on that “good faith.” On that note, I offer you another clip, this one from his press conference the other day. Skip ahead to halfway through and marvel at how closely his “good faith” tracks classic Nazi invective — except, of course, for the substitution of the politically correct euphemism “Zionists” for “Jews.” The UN won’t tolerate anti-semites, after all.
Update: Drudge has the siren up:
IRANIAN PRESIDENT SAYS HE WILL NOT PUSH TO VISIT GROUND ZERO; WAS ONLY THINKING OF PAYING RESPECT
Fine. He can cry on the left’s shoulder. As he long stays away.
Update: Here’s Drudge’s transcript of the interview with 60 Minutes, replete with Ahmadinejad’s nod to the leftist stooges who are defending the visit: “How can you speak for the whole of the American nation?”

peaceful protest, don’t physically restrain him, just shove enough bodies in front of his path that he can’t go anywhere
though I have to admit as a Jew it’d be mighty hard not to slug him if he was right in front of me

There is no difference between allowing this savage to enter the United States, and allowing Bin Hidin’, too. Both have been, and currently are, directly associated with the killing of Americans.
If this savage is let into the United States, I’ll be more ashamed of America than I already am. An impotent United States makes me want to vomit.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s secret MySpace entry:
Hi there fellow Islamic bloggers. My name is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and I am the great and fearless President of the Islamic Republic of Iran and soon to be the defacto President of Iraq too!
I was was born one of seven children to a humble blacksmith and when I was a child growing up I worked on a farm to earn extra money for my poor father and I got to know a lot of the farm animals very well. I wasa real nature boy back then. I was a real animal lover. My favorites were the goats of course. I still have such fond memories of my boyhood.
Later I excelled as a student, earning my master’s degree and a Ph.D in civil engineering. I have only three wifes, but as the leader of such a great Islamic country and soon to be the dominate power in the Middle East I feel that it is time for me to take my fourth
wife. If any nice Islamic ladies are reading this you should email me some time soon. You must be between the ages of 12 and 28 years old. If you are under 12 that would be alright too but you must have a note from a male relative of course.
In addition to my important duties as the Great President of the Islamic Republic of Iran I am now working on my post graduate science project, which when completed in a very few years, I will test on Evil Israel and the Great Satin America.
Who I would like to meet … …
In addition to my fourth wife, and remember if you are under 12 years old, you must have a note from a male
relative, I would like to meet other dedicated members of the Great Religion of
SlaughterPeace, Islam of course. We can all get together after work and spend time reading inspiring passages from the Koran and comparing notes on our mutual love of farm animals. We can also go over a list of prioritytest sites for my developing science project. It will be a blast! It will make much bigger holes than the one in New York that I am going to visit only for comparison purposes! Those infidels think that I want to visit it to pay homage, boy are they ever stupid!MB4 on September 20, 2007 at 3:36 PM

MadisonConservative on September 20, 2007 at 3:54 PM
McCain saw Guiliani and Romney getting traction from their comments so he is jumping on the band wagon. Not leading mind you but doing what all his years of being a Senator have taught him. Stick a finger in the wind, wait for a poll and then amazingly come out on the side of the majority. Too bad he didn’t do that on the amnesty bill, but it seems every time he tries to lead he winds up going in the wrong direction. I commend him for words, but I find fault with his leadership.

There is a real potential For the Secret Service to fire on or otherwise attack American citizens who take matters into their own hands to block a terrorist from desecrating a memorial site.
Can you believe that we have reached the point of Dhimmitude where we can be potentially killed by our own government in it’s effort to protect a known terrorist and kidnapper of American citizens? I blows my mind.
This could turn so ugly in so many ways. It’s almost incomprehensible.

“When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

If people are going to be legalistic in their approach to Ahmadinnenehdgd’s “rights” while in the US, then I think we need to be ruthlessly legalistic and arrest him for his participation in the embassy takeover and other acts of war against the US.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will not press his plan Ð just denied by New York City Police for security reasons — to visit Ground Zero in New York City, he tells 60 MINUTES’ Scott Pelley in an exclusive interview conducted today in Iran. The Iranian leader says he’s “amazed” and skeptical that most Americans view his visit there as insulting as his intention was only to show respect. The interview will be broadcast on 60 MINUTES, Sunday Sept. 23 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS television Network.
An excerpt from the interview follows:

We come to the trial of Rather Vs. CBS May 2008:
Dan Rather is on the stand explaining the days that followed the fated newscast:
Did you turn your newsroom upside down
searching for phony National Guard memos Mr. Rather?
I don’t know what lies have been
sworn to here, but actual memos did exist.
The witness is understandably
agitated. I request a recess.
I don’t want a recess.
- Did you conduct such a search?
- Yes.
Disloyal pajama media types failed me,
and the memos couldn’t be found.
Wasn’t this whole fuss
over some forged Texas National Guardsmen memos?
The AWOL of an officer is a very serious offence.
You were told that the memos showed Bush was AWOL. There was no memos.
The memos were not imaginary.
Have you no recollection of
a blog called little green footballs?
Didn’t they research the memos and concluded they were most likely forgeries?
I don’t know anything about any little green footballs, I don’t play football.
We can get Killian’s secretary here see is only 3 hours away, she said on your show she didn’t type the alleged forged TANG memos.
I don’t see any need of that.
The defence has no other recourse
than to produce Scott Johnson of Little Green Footballs..
There’s no need for that.
He’ll only tell you lies.
All the officers were disloyal.
They were always fighting me.
Mr. Rather?
If the crew wanted their
shirt-tails out, they’d let them.
Take the tow line …
defective equipment.
Mr. Rather? Not sure of your meaning, sir.
But they began spreading wild
rumours about steaming in circles, -
- and then “Old Yellowjournalist”. I was
to blame for Mapes’ incompetence.
Maryk was the perfect officer,
but not Queeg.
Mr. Rather, are you all right sir?
But the strawberries,
that’s where I had them.
Strawberries? I am not sure were strawberries come into this, Mr. Rather.
I proved with geometric logic that a
duplicate key to the icebox existed.
I could have produced that key. They
were protecting some officer …
Naturally, I can only cover
these things from memory.
If I’ve left anything out,
just ask me specific questions -
- and I’ll be glad to answer them
one by one.
Okkaaay.
- No further questions, sir.
- The court is closed.

From the Drudge:
Honestly, if I were Ahmadinejad I would also be amazed. Given how many fellatios the Left gives him each and every day he can only conclude that America is occupied by morons only.
Niko on September 20, 2007 at 4:37 PM
Random Juxtaposition made my previous comment misleading.
What I should have written is:
Ahmadinejad is attempting to create an international incident by provoking violence, or a confrontation between his security team and ‘the host countries security force’, or even becoming a martyr for Allah on the streets of NYC.
Limerick is correct. The US Government does not have to allow his visit, though that also has diplomatic repercussions.
Now, with the update, I’m left holding an empty paper bag which has the bottom ripped out of it. (I can live with that.)
Ahmadinejad is ’screwing with your head’, playing the media, and everyone else’s emotions like a fiddle. Don’t let this clown mess with you like this.
rockhauler on September 20, 2007 at 4:39 PM
PELLEY: Sir, what were you thinking? The World Trade Center site is the most sensitive place in the American heart, and you must have known that visiting there would be insulting to many, many Americans.
AHMADINEJAD: Why should it be insulting?
PELLEY: But the American people, sir, believe that your country is a terrorist nation, exporting terrorism in the world. You must have known that visiting the World Trade Center site would infuriate many Americans.
AHMADINEJAD: Well, I’m amazed. How can you speak for the whole of the American nation?
PELLEY: Well, the American nation–
AHMADINEJAD: You are representing a media and you’re a reporter. The American nation is made up of 300 million people. There are different points of view over there.

Even if he doesn’t show at Ground Zero (I think he will because he is a narcissistic loon), there is still a demonstration at the UN (47th & 2nd) at noon, and later at Columbia U. (116th & B’way). You can reach all three locations via subway quite easily.

How about “If this bastard takes one step out of the UN, he will be arrested and tried as a war criminal. He is a wanted man as far as the US is concerned”"? Where is the outrage?

What makes this different is the request to lay a wreath at Ground Zero, but your OBL argument does not depend on that to have happened.

Bush has been a real wimp on this. Pathetic.

What blatant hypocrisy(sp?). Underwrite the killings in Iraq and “pay your respects” to those who died at Ground Zero. How, how, how can anyone be so shallow! There has to be some nasty motive behind this move. What might it be?

As I said, I’m not surprised, nor am I surprised that you cannot see the connection between what I wrote and what America’s founding fathers wrote. I may not posses the wisdom of the founding fathers, but I am well read in their writings.
I do know quite well what they thought about men like Bloomingidiot, they would have been hard pressed not to hang him from the nearest liberty tree.

Motive?
The guy is a raving lunatic. He has delusions of grandeur, and judging from his interview with Scott Pelley, he thinks that a large segment of the American people would welcome a visit to Ground Zero.
And sadly, he is not entirely wrong in that respect.

I wish I could be in NYC to help form the human chain to prevent this mutt from polluting hallowed ground. I apologize to any mutts I offended with my statement.
Rudy, where are you when NYC needs you again????

I watched the video clip of Ahmedinijad. In it, he states that since Iran will use its nuclear capabilities for peaceful purposes, it is free to share these capabilities with other countries who will use them for peaceful purposes (other IAEA countries).
This means that he will share his nuke technology with other rogue states.
We need to totally wipe out the Iranian military and government, along with the mad mullahs; and we need to do it right now.
Let’s arrest Ahmedinijad as soon as he sets foot on American soil. Won’t that be a great photo op for him!

Sounds like a target of opportunity to me..

We are not in the middle of a revolution right now.
But hey, I’ll give you a chance to explain yourself. Just to pick one quote out of the box, what does this have to do with Mayor Bloomberg?:
I already know that the answer is: Absolutely nothing, but knock yourself out.

After arresting Ahmedinijad, we can cart him out each morning to the WTC site, and lock him in a stock (head, feet, and arms), so that people can walk by and spit on him.
