Drudge is reporting that Ahmadinejad will be travelling to New York and speaking at the United Nations. He is to speak on the same day as President Bush:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is to attend the summit of Non-Aligned Movement countries in the Cuban capital Havana in mid-September, an official said Wednesday. "The president will take part in the summit of Non-Aligned countries in Havana," said the official from the president's office, who asked not to be named.
The summit of the 116-nation grouping is to take place between September 11-16, and Ahmadinejad is also expected to attend the UN General Assembly in New York that starts on September 12, the official said.
Ahmadinejad said in Tehran Wednesday that his attendance of the UN General Assembly would be a "suitable opportunity" to challenge Bush in a television debate. "My forthcoming visit to New York for the UN General Assembly would be a suitable opportunity to hold the debate and all world people, especially the Americans, could hear and watch it without censorship," the news agency ISNA quoted the Iranian president as saying in a cabinet session.

Doesn't he need a visa?
!?&%#!!$%!!!!!
Yeah, he probably needs one. But if Khatami got one, fat chance they will deny one to the current Head Thug, Ahmadimmijerkarounder.
Back in the early 60s there was a UN meeting that Castro and Krushchev and their cronies all came to, and they got taunted by groups of NYC longshoremen on barges. Could we get some people together to rent one of those, barge up the East River, and group-moon the s.o.b.?
I don't know, does he? Maybe the UN has the power to grand him the invitation. He did speak there once already.
RevereRidesAgain,
I like the way you're thinking. That's a great idea.
Wonder how he'd look with a cream pie hanging off of his face...
I like it.....Homer Simpson as The Pie Man Returns!
The Non-Aligned Movement?
Isn't that some atavistic vestige of the Cold War that should have gone the way of Checkpoint Charlie, Soviet Military Liaison Mission license plates, and shortwave radio spy number stations? Countries aligned to neither the U.S. nor the U.S.S.R. Though didn't Cuba lead it for a while in Reagan's time, when it was squarely in Moscow's camp, sending Cubans to fight in Africa so Andropov didn't have to send his boys? Why does this good for nothing b.s. organization still exist?
Non-Aligned, suuuuure. There's a new alignment in town, and Iran leads its side.
p.s.: good idea revere, Pie: get infamous pie thrower Noel Godin a visa, too, so he can pie Ahmadinejad! No visa for Ahmad unless Godin comes, too.
Not without serious pie backup, no.
