Ahmadinejad Returning To New York!
LGF is reporting via Drudge that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is making a return trip to NYC. The dictator plans on attending the U.N. General Assembly like he did last year. This will mark his third trip to New York since 2005.
You just gotta love the fact that Ahmadinejad can give the middle digit to the entire International community, then swagger around NYC at the U.N. General Assembly.
Although as LGF points out, this will provide an excellent opportunity for Obama to get some face time with our bitter enemy. After the U.N. concludes, Obama and Mahmoud should head over to Spark’s Steakhouse and grab a meal.
Ahmadinejad: Israel a ’stinking corpse’
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad decided to offer his thoughts today on Israel’s celebration of its 60th birthday.
“Those who think they can revive the stinking corpse of the usurping and fake Israeli regime by throwing a birthday party are seriously mistaken,” the official IRNA news agency quoted Ahmadinejad as having said.
“Today the reason for the Zionist regime’s existence is questioned, and this regime is on its way to annihilation.”
Ahmadinejad further stated that Israel “has reached the end like a dead rat after being slapped by the Lebanese” – referring to the Second Lebanon War in the summer of 2006.
Ahamdinejad Wants to Form a “World Islamic Court” For War Crimes
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the West has too much power in the world bodies, so to counter that he wants to setup an International Islamic Court to prosecute war crimes and other human rights violators.
It’s difficult not to find it amusing that a character like Ahmadinejad would suggest anything for trying war crimes considering what he’s guilty of. I think the first person to go on trial in the new court should be Ahmadinejad himself!

Dumb and Dumber: Chavez and Ahmadinejad Together Again
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez made his fourth trip to Iran in two years, in an attempt to strengthen ties between the two countries and to discuss new ways of resisting U.S. policies.
Chavez arrived in Iran from Saudi Arabia where he attended the OPEC summit. He was accompanied by a string of top Venezuelan officials for the hours-long visit — among them the foreign, industry, oil and communication ministers, as well as the mayor of Caracas, the country’s capital.
Ahmadinejad also attended the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
During the gathering, the two dictators echoed one another, blaming President Bush’s policies for the decline of the dollar and its negative effect on other countries, and challenging Saudi Arabia’s reluctance to mention weak dollar concerns in the summit’s final declaration.
Ahmadinejad claimed OPEC’s member countries want to convert their cash reserves into a currency other than the depreciating U.S. dollar, which he called a “worthless piece of paper.”
Chavez said the dollar was in free-fall and that its “empire” must end, and proposed trading oil in a basket of currencies excluding the dollar.
Ahmadinejad: Key Nuke Target of 3,000 Centrifuges Reached
Iran has achieved a landmark, with 3,000 centrifuges fully working in its controversial uranium enrichment program, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced Wednesday.
Ahmadinejad has in the past claimed that Iran succeeded in installing the 3,000 centrifuges at its uranium enrichment facility at Natanz. But Wednesday’s claim was his first official statement that the plant is now fully operating all those centrifuges.
Experts say 3,000 centrifuges are in theory enough to produce a nuclear weapon, perhaps as soon as within a year.
Iran says it plans to expand its enrichment program to up to 54,000 centrifuges at Natanz in central Iran – which would amount to the level of industrial-scale uranium enrichment.
