The US delegation walked out of Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s address at the United Nations. At the time Ahmadinejad was denouncing the United States’ history of colonialism while incorporating it with the September 11th attacks on the nation.
Other things he said at UN:
* Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who arrived in New York on Sunday for the UN General Assembly meetings this week, described international sanctions against his country as meaningless and ineffective, as consternation about Iran’s nuclear future grows. When asked about Fidel Castro’s recent comments, in which the Cuban leader told Ahmadinejad to stop attacking the Jews, denying the Holocaust and being anti- Semitic, Ahmadinejad said he is not an anti-Semite. “We’ve never been anti- Semitic – when was I anti- Semitic?” he said. “The Jews live in Iran, like every other person who lives in Iran freely.” ~ Jerusalem Post
* Ahmadinejad warned Tuesday that an attack on his country’s nuclear facilities could spark a war with “no limits,” US media reported. He also suggested that the Holocaust had been exaggerated as a “pretext for war,” during a New York meeting with US media owners and editors. “The United States doesn’t understand what war looks like. When a war starts, it knows no limits,” Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying in response to a question about any US-supported strike by Israel on Iran’s nuclear facilities. “The United States has never entered a serious war, and has never been victorious. ” ~ AFP
* Ahmadinejad is to address the General Assembly on Thursday, but spoke to other audiences in the days leading up to his speech.
Speaking before a group of Muslim figures in New York on Monday night, Ahmadinejad said “the Iranian nation will never recognize the Zionist regime,” Iran’s Fars News Agency reported on Tuesday.
“Palestinians can cut the hands of the aggressor and put an end to the Zionist regime’s presence in the region,” he reportedly said. ~ Jerusalem Post

Wild Thing’s comment……..
First, Canadians walked out on Iranian regime president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad , then later in the day the Canadian President gave his speech but no one else in his delegation was there.
The today Obama gave his speech and not until Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke and did his spewing of hate…..then the US delegation walked out.
The US ought to walk out of the UN entirely. Close it down… knock down the building and kick all of them off our soil.
Foxnews said the UK delegation also got up and left right after the Americans did.
Ahmadinejad is nuts besides all the other things he is, his contraditions about what he has said and feels about Jews is amazing and shocking. He is a liar to himself as much as to everyone else.
Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Tuesday that an attack on his country’s nuclear facilities could spark a war with “no limits,” US media reported.
Yo Mahmoud is Thursday good for you? And, by the way, we weren’t expecting limitations? We will be planning on sending you on the fast elevator to hell. And to begin with we could always show him the “After” photos of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
“The United States has never entered a serious war, and has never been victorious,”
What rock is this idiot living under?
Ahmadinejad said Tuesday during a conversation with reporters in New York that the Holocaust was exaggerated in order to create a pretext for starting a war.
Previously he has stated that the Holocaust never happened; now he admits the Holocaust happened, just exaggerated. Mensa candidate, not.
He’s another problem that could be solved with about 50 cents.
If 9/11 was done to help the economy, then let’s really help Iran’s economy.
US out of the UN.
Mark, heh heh yesssss.
Tom, ditto that!
