NYC Rep. Calls on Condi to Deny Ahmadinejad Entrance to US

Congressman Vito J. Fossella (R-NY) sent a letter to Secretary Rice yesterday asking the State Department to deny Ahmadinejad's visa. HUMAN EVENTS couldn't agree more with Rep. Fossella's sentiments. The letter is posted below.

The Secretary Department of State 2201 C Street NW Washington, DC 20520

Dear Madame Secretary,

It has been reported that Iranian President Mahmound Ahmadinejad has requested that he be allowed to visit the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks when he travesl to the opening of the United Nations later this month. I believe that Mr. ahmadinehad has only one motivationfor wanteing to tour Ground Zero -- to mock the nearly 3,000 Americans who were killed on that day.

Mr. Ahmadinejad is the president of a country that is considered one of the world's most egregious state sponsors of terrorism. He is also a Holocaust denier who is committed to the destruction of Israel and fomenting terror and instability in the Middle East and beyond. He as American blood on his hands dating back decades from his alleged participation in the 1983 bombing of the marine barracks in Lebanon, which killed 241 soldiers, and his alleged role in the 1979 embassy hostage crisis. Evidence also links the Iranian regime to the delivery of improvised explosive devices (IED) to Iraq, which have killed countless American soldiers...

[kellynla]

Ahmadinejad should be arrested as soon as he departs from his plane at JFK.

Sounds good to me. If the UN wants to talk to this guy, let them move to Iran. They should move there anyway. What the hell, we can use that building for something else.

[VaBthang4]

Why she or her boss have not done so already is to me....overwhelmingly stunning.

[stm]

This is a non-issue. Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism across the world, and the primary source in Iraq. To even think that we would entertain him visiting this country, even to talk the UN, is preposterous.

US out of the UN and UN out of the US.

Everywhere he goes he should be greeted by Americans singing Hava Nagila and waving Israeli flags.And one or two
posters showing a mushroom cloud wouldn’t be bad either.

Move the UN to Gitmo.

[SoKatt]

LOL...I particularly like your idea for a poster!

[alli133]

This tyrant, from what I,ve read, was directly involved with the taking of American hostages in Iran in the late 1970s. He should be arrested and tried for his crimes, diplomatic immunity be damned! What has this politically correct, dysfunctional nation come to?

[unixfox]

Move the UN to Gitmo.

I was thinking more like the bottom of the Atlantic.

[kellynla]

“This tyrant, from what I,ve read, was directly involved with the taking of American hostages in Iran in the late 1970s. He should be arrested and tried for his crimes!”

Correctomundo!
He has been identified as one of the Iranian terrorists from 1979-1981 who held Americans hostage.

[George W. Bush]

Don't import these dictators to our country.

Export the United Nations to some other country. Or just schedule it for demolition (prior notice to occupants optional).

[wolfcreek]

There was a guy ranting on C-SPAN this morning suggesting Imanutjob”s body should be hung in a Jewish meatmarket so people could kick it. Then something about breaking the *staff* for Yam Kipor.

Anybody got a clue?

[cricket]

Those who 'gift' Columbia; should stop. As for the unwilling taxpayers. . .that is another story. Columbia needs a serious idiological overhaul. Enhancing the resume and reputation of this dangerous and degraded dictator and brutal killer. . .and world threat; is nonsensical with a huge evil twist.

What corruption is there; in Liberal Will and vision. . .

[utherdoul]

Even in liberal NYC he’ll be lucky if he isn’t torn apart if he goes to the 911 memorial.

[Old Sarge]

What has this politically correct, dysfunctional nation come to?

A What politically correct, dysfunctional nation.

[the invisib1e hand]

I volunteer to escort him if he comes here.

[phillyfanatic]

We should allow the Mossad to abduct the Iranian thug and take plausible deniability. Then they can ransom him for the end of their nuke program!!!

[cricket]

A politically correct, dysfunctional nation.

Thank a patient Liberal. . .and all those so committed on the Left. Changing the 'mind' of a nation is quite a feat. Thank those who have allowed it. . .and all, likeminded who now follow.

Do think it would be a great idea if Columbia - and the U.N. for that matter, invited Hitler to speak alongside Ahmadinejad.

Like Nat sang with Natalie - and a few other techno-meetings - would be great to compare the dialog and the phiolosphy and the nazi roots inherent. . .that drives both these men.

Would be quite a sensation. . .IMHO. . .sarc - or less than. . .

[Old Sarge]

Now, THAT would be a YouTube Magnum Opus!

"“Ahmadinejad should be arrested as soon as he departs from his plane at JFK”

How about kidnapped - and then kept for 444 days. What goes around, comes around.

[Petronski]

“Arrested” is not the verb I would have used.

[Heavy Fuel]

this is just as bad as the dwarf from Ohio palling around with Syria. My God, what is to become of America when we have our own Americans stabbing us in the back? One day will be sink or swim time for us and we better be ready to do battle aginst the leftists.

[cookcounty]

By treaty she can’t, but perhaps he could be issued a very severely limited access visa: Airport to UN and back to airport. US institutions off limits.

[cookcounty]

And now he’s been invited by the NPC, formerly the National Press Club, now known as the Nazi Press Club.

[Enchante]

By treaty she can’t"

This would be a great time to re-visit that treaty, and the whole issue of the UN. Announce that he is barred from US shores and that we are renouncing the idiotic UN treaty!! (I know that won't happen, but I can dream) My belief is that we need to abolish the UN, keep all these dogsh** dictators and their flunkies away from US shores, and announce a new global organization only for democracies and some other close allies who are moving toward better government. We do not need to be the chief sponsor (and funder) for the dungheap of the UN.

As for claims that the UN is necessary as a forum for all nations, a meeting place with Russia and China, NO. It might have seemed like a good idea in 1945, but the past 60 years have shown what a farce it is much of the time.

We don't need to give the world's worst governments such a forum, we need to elevate the position and influence of all the friendly governments that share at least enough of the values of freedom and democracy not to be complete repressive dungheaps ala much of the Middle East, Africa, and yes Russia and China. We can meet the latter two powers 1-on-1 when desireable, we don't need to give them heightened influence on the Security Council.

[Rb ver. 2.0]

At least wait for his plane to get almost to US airspace before denying him entry.

[tiger63]

You Nailed IT!

This Asshat can be limited as to his Travel in this Country!

NO BODY HAS THE BALL$ TO IMPOSE RESTRICTIONS!

[ronnie raygun]

Lets hold on to his A##, Iran has made some threats in October so lets see how this little chicken sh#t holds up if it should happen! The UN is a toilet and should be flushed right out of this country! Thier taking up prime realestate!

[SandRat]

or let him visit all by hiself with NO security detail.

[SandRat]

What do Vets, real Vets, not Murtha/Kerry Vets think.

[Old Sarge]

There is absolutely nothing we can do to stop this.

[eastsider]

As much as I detest the UN and Ahmadinejad, I say honor the treaty.

[do the dhue]

I think we should let him speak where ever he wants. Then we gather all those up who are there to listen to him. And we send them to Iran. They can listen to him speak over there from then on and he will have no need to come here again. Or we do you idea and bust his keyster at the airport. I like that.

Taken hostage for 445 days would be better alternative. (smile)

[DieHard the Hunter]

> Ahmadinejad should be arrested as soon as he departs from his plane at JFK.

He ought to be politely invited to the US, taken to the Ground Zero site, arrested, put on trial, and when he is found guilty (for there is no reasonable doubt) he should be suspended by the neck from one of those construction cranes, like they seem to be so fond of using as gibbets in Tehran. There is no justice quite like Poetic Justice.

Then let’s see how keen they are to build nuclear weapons.

[Girlene]

I absolutely do not understand the lack of leadership in this situation. It should be a non-issue. What happened to the Axis of Evil?

[denydenydeny]

Um, where is the rest of the NYC congressional delegation on this?

Oh that's right, they're all Democrats. Who apparently implicitly support the right of Holocaust deniers who call for the incineration of Israel to be cordially received in their city.

[Lijahsbubbe]

He should not be allowed to step foot in this country. No how, no way. This is madness.

oops...sorry...same thread...
I need to go to bed. LOL

NYTOL!

[Marine_Uncle]

Condi will give him a free pass. It is quite disheartening to witness.

[the invisib1e hand]

he'll thank the God he doesn't believe in for the America he wants to destroy, someday.

A serious penis-envy Napoleon complex haunts the little dictator, I think.

Really it would be. . .just saw this header/reminder at LGF (LIttleGreenFootballs - http://littlegreenfootballs.com/):

Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1939: Adolf Hitler.

Surely gives clarity to today's Lib-Left.
