Ahmadinejad sends letter to Bush
BBC News ^ | May 8 2006

Posted on 05/08/2006 1:53:53 AM PDT by jmc1969

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has written to George W Bush proposing "new solutions" to their differences.

The letter will be sent via the Swiss Embassy which represents US interests in Iran, a government spokesman said.

Mr Ahmadinejad proposes "new solutions for getting out of international problems and current fragile situation of the world", the spokesman said.

Reports say it is the first letter from an Iranian president to a US leader since the Iranian revolution in 1979.

Must be getting advice from Madame Halfbright who insists that the President ought to have direct negotiations with the Iranian despot.

Interesting that Ahmadinejad needed to let the whole world know he was sending a letter proposing "new solutions".

He apparently thinks the world is his 'stage' and would not want any of his performances missed.

I'm sure that Ahmadinejad has Bush's phone number. Why didn't he just call? Wanted the stage for himself, that's why...

Only one reply will do.

NUTS.

Yep. This is yet another in a long line of ploys to buy time and attempt to show the world that Iran is just the latest "victim" of the big bully USA.

When we reject this latest ploy, Iran will go around saying "See, we tried to negotiate, but America wouldn't listen".....

Actions speak louder than words (on both sides)

All PR. If the letter was indeed a genuine attempt to remove the impasse and resolve the situation, why even disclose to the public the existence of such a letter? This is not the way to conduct behind-the-scenes diplomacy.

A reply would be in order......

My dear President Ahmadinejad

I have received yours of 8 May and thank you for your welcome opening of a dialogue.

Rather than a paper dialogue, I believe it would be in the best interest of both the great nations of Iran and the United States Of America for us to become better aquainted.

I would welcome the opportunity to have you visit me at my private retreat at Camp David in Maryland. I think you will like the place so much you may never leave.

My Very best regards

W "

Are you trying to impress me somehow in regards to this BS letter?

The point is, this is a World concern and issue. Not an exclusive US/Iran issue, and that Iranian Madman should not be allowed to make it such.

Again...

Ahmadinedschad explains the world in the "letter to Bush as the world situation" analyzes the head of state the "roots of the problems". It is the first letter of an Iranian to an American president for 27 years Of Iran

AP Teheran - which Iranian president Mahmud Ahmadinedschad has US president George W. Bush in a letter of suggestions on the settlement of the present differences submitted. The "letter to" the world situation ", in which Ahmadinedschad" points new ways out "for the solution of the tensions, is passed on over Swiss message in Teheran at Bush, avowed government spokesmen Gholam Hussein Elham. Switzerland represents interests of the USA in Iran also. In the letter analyze Ahmadinedschad the "roots of the problems". Over exact contents of the letter became first nothing admits. Elham did not mention the controversy over the Iranian atomic program explicitly. It is the first letter of an Iranian to an American president for 27 years. After the Islamic revolution and the taking of hostages in the Teheraner US message 1979 both states broke their diplomatic relations off morgenpost.de Conditions: Monday, 8 May 2006, 11:31 o'clock

Herr Ahmadinejad wishes only to protect the Sudeten Shiites. This is his last territorial demand.

There's more than one way for our President to send a reply to Stinky.

Send it to Stinky encased in a Soap on a Rope.
