U.S. says Iran president’s visa approved
WASHINGTON, March 23 (Reuters)
Visas for Iran’s president and other diplomats to visit the United States had been approved, the White House said on Friday, disputing Iran’s claim that the entry documents had not been approved.
Iran said Washington had so far failed to give a visa to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad so he could address the U.N. Security Council in New York when it meets to vote on new sanctions against Tehran, which could happen this weekend.
“The Iranian comment is false. As the State Department said earlier this week, the visas have been approved,” said Gordon Johndroe, spokesman for the White House National Security Council.
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said visas for 39 Iranian officials — including Ahmadinejad, diplomats and security guards — were in the hands of the Iranians as of 10 a.m. local time in Bern, Switzerland.
He said because some visa forms for the air crew were incomplete, those were still being processed.
“At the end of the day, everybody gets the visas that they need in order to travel to the United Nations,” McCormack told reporters.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
What liars Iran is!
White House calling Iran’s bluff. Ahmanutjob too chicken to step foot in the US after seizing our allies this morning. This will make Ahmanutjob look very bad in his country. Islam has issues with the whole pride thing….LOL. ….This is actually a good move by the White House (imho)!
I’d love to see Ahmanutjob in chains but ramsey clark and murtha would turn him into a cult hero.
Taqiyya is imprinted in Muslims. Of course he lied!
Just another reason to move the UN to someplace in Europe.
I hope the name on the visa was : “Little Turd”.
That little fart is going to have to die. Soon.
Hey, you lying Muzzies, here is your next target, come and get it.
It irritates me no end that visas were issued in the first place.
“Just another reason to move the UN to someplace in Europe.”
I agree, BobF. They don’t do anything but complain about us anyway and I wouldn’t mind seeing all those tyrants go someplace other than our soil. In fact I think that island that was used for anthrax research would be a fine place. I hear that it is becoming habitable again.
How about we move the UN to Tehran, then when we strike we can wipe it out too. Two pigs with one A bomb. A two-fer if you will.
Of course he lied!
Did anyone expect that sawed off runt to tell us anything we really wanted to hear?
Puhlease. The jerk is a bully and a thorn in our side.
I’ve often wondered why they put the UN here. Shouldn’t it have been in The Hague?
Maybe a desert Island would be better–all they do is squabble and argue and get nothing done–oh, wait! That’s the congress and the senate.
Sorry, my mistake.
AOW, your right it is taught ot lie in the Quran.
Bob, I would love that so much, to move the UN off our land and far away from us.
Tom, hahaahahah good one. That would be so funny, gosh I would love to hear that in the news and have Ahmanutjob throwing a hissy fit about it. heh heh
Rhod,I hope that happens. I just wonder what will happen next.
Jack, heh heh I wonder if they would do that and hit a place where their ‘friends’ are. haha
Yankeemom, that is what I do nto get either. Why the hell are we giving this jerk a visa anyway. We are at war and he is one of the reasons so many of our troops are being injured and killed from his sending people and equipment into Iraq for the bad guys. Sheesh
Mark, Yessssssss oh that is perfect!
Lynn, good one!!!
