The “axis of evil” Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad plans to visit ground zero despite NYPD rejection of the visit. Good for them. This scumbag does not deserve to be well-received or respected. It is a long known fact that Ahmadinejad supports terrorists including supporting those terrorist groups in Iraq that are killing innocent civilians and military personnel. “Our knowledge of the international travels of the al Qaeda operatives selected for the 9/11 operation remains fragmentary. But we now have evidence suggesting that 8 to 10 of the 14 Saudi “muscle” operatives traveled into or out of Iran between October 2000 and February 2001.” This despicable individual who spews hate-speak towards Americans and Israelites deserves the best. He needs to view the site from six feet under the surface where the towers once were. That is more appropriate.
Mayor Rudy Giuliani released the following statement on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad:
“Under no circumstances should the NYPD or any other American authority assist President Ahmadinejad in visiting Ground Zero. This is a man who has made threats against America and Israel, is harboring bin Laden’s son and other al-Qaeda leaders, is shipping arms to Iraqi insurgents and is pursuing the development of nuclear weapons. Assisting Ahmadinejad in touring Ground Zero – hallowed ground for all Americans – is outrageous.”
Senator Hillary Clinton released the following statement:
“It is unacceptable for Iranian President Ahmadinejad, who refuses to renounce and end his own country’s support of terrorism, to visit the site of the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil in our nation’s history.”
This vile person is what it seems to take to get bipartisan consensus on something.
