UNITED NATIONS - Fresh from a controversial victory over American and British efforts to impose U.N. Security Council sanctions, Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe intends to head to New York City this September to attend the 2008 U.N. General Assembly.
"Yes, definitely he will come," Zimbabwe's U.N. Ambassador Boniface Chidyausiku told Newsmax.
Should Mugabe follow through, that would put him in the Big Apple the week of Sept. 23.
The controversial African leader might actually find some friends at the U.N. confab, as Newsmax has learned two key Mugabe supporters also intend to be in the city at the same time.
Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez are expected at the U.N.'s annual "debate."
They will be joined by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who was pivotal in blunting Security Council efforts to impose sanctions when Russia joined with China to cast a highly unusual double veto last Friday.

Deny him a visa.It ain’t brain surgery....just tell him and his psychopathic thug entourage that they ain’t gettin’ in.And if doing so causes a holy uproar in the UN and results in us being expelled,for example....or in the UN moving it’s headquarters to Burma then we’ll just have live with that I guess.
Jimmy Carter will be at the air port to kiss his ass when he arrives.
That would be hard to take but we'd get over it eventually.
divert his plane to Detroit.
Can't. The land that the UN occupies is international territory. The U.S. has no jurisdiction over it.
Best advice? Deny the visa. Tell him to stay the hell home.
Is JFK or Newark International also on international territory? Does the US have no jurisdiction at each of these facilities?
When Ronald Reagan bombed Libya, the French refused to allow us to use their airspace. We got there anyway, and I have loathed the French ever since. I suggest we do the same to this murdering animal. Don’t let him breathe the same air as Americans.
His movements within the United States can be restricted. The United States did the same with the Soviet embassy staff.
True...but I believe that he can also be denied entry into the US.The State Dept can refuse to recognize his "diplomatic status" and deny him a visa.That's not to say that they *will*,however.Doing so would cause an uproar the likes of which have been seldom seen and just might harm us in ways that we wouldn't like.But I'd wager everything I have that he *can* be denied entry into the US by our State Dept.
Did the United States do the same with Kurt Waldheim due to his concentration camp guard background? That could then be the precedent to deny him entry.
He should NOT be allowed entry!
[That would be hard to take but we’d get over it eventually. ]
Yes. The next day. And Charlie Wrangle could rent the whold friggin building for $120/month for his very own use. Pretty!
That is true...but the roads and the airport(s) are not international territory and he has no right to use them without permission. If he wants to parachute into the UN he is welcome to that. We should arrest him if he steps one foot off of UN territory.
Will he be speaking at Columbia?
Pat Robertson will probably be there as well.
agree with earlier post
Deny him a visa.
Let him in. Publicize his presence. Compromise his security. Fly in a dozen of his enemies. Track them carefully. Let nature take its course.
Snipers Wanted.
