Speaking of Iran: President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said during a press conference Tuesday that he wants to "debate world and international issues with George Bush in a televised debate." The White House dismissed the proposal as a diversion from international concerns over Iran’s nuclear program. But what was interesting about the press conference was how combative some of the Iranian reporters were. Some jumped from their seats and demanded that their questions be taken. Maybe the White House press corps could learn something about holding a president accountable.

A debate among terrorist, what a concept!
If these two guys are going to debate, where are we going to find a Shrubbish to Farsi translator, if there exists one?This debate should be billed as an adult cartoon!
A free press in a democracy SHOULD be tumulteous. That is their job!
Could it be the world’s first “grunt and point” debate?
hee hee hee
shrubbish to farsi.
heheheheheheheheheh
This topic reminds me that Bush declaring war on terrorism and indicating that he wanted bin Laden “dead or alive” was the biggest boost that W. could have given Osama.
It is a primary terrorism goal to first be noticed.
And every day that the most powerful military in the world fails to kill OBL is a victory for him and his cause.
Thanks, W.
The difference between the President of Iran and the President of the United States is that the former was actually elected in a fair process.
Our guy was installed by the Supreme Court.
Their guy is fluent in at least one language, mean while our guy is fluent in, ah, umm,he’s really good at…. hmmmmmm??
As for the press and TV infotainment, they did their job.
Bush Co. wanted a war in Iraq, and Judith Miller of the NY Times, Broder of the Washington Post, and all the rest of them gave it to them.
See “Manufacturing Consent” (book or movie) for how the media in our “democracy” repeat and support the government’s agenda (like the “genocide” of Pol Pot) while they ignore the genocide of Indonesia in East Timor against the slightly left-of-center government there.
It’s not a conspiracy. It’s simple collusion–like GM halting the sale of an electric car so that the status quo is maintained.
Seen it Capn.
I have a co-worker who could do it… well, at least the Farsi part.
I once knew a guy who oculd do the other part – but he sobered up!
Anyone who calls the myth a myth deserves some credit in my book. :)
Viva La Revolucion Blanco!!!
The other guy would probably eat George’s lunch!
I say throw George W. and Iran President in a locked room and let them go at it. We could put it on Pay-Per-View and make billions to pay down the national debt that George W. and his Bushies have racked up in the last 6 years.
TMThat’s what we thought.You like it here, don’t you?I know it’s a wide open forum and that’s not something you’re used to.I know you felt you were treated unfairly, etc.
You think the regulars here don’t like you?Hell, we don’t like each other most of the time.
Look, if you wanna stay around, that’s great, I welcome you.But you have to understand this is the real world here, you don’t get to make any rules!
And don’t go saying anything dumb while you’re mad, for instance, that you’ll never be back.YOU ARE HOOKED.
Tracy-Up yours!!
Love

Oh yeah?Up your nose with a rubber hose!Regards, T
Is it new and ribbed?
Did anybody see President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on 60 minutes interviewed by Mike Wallace?

V.L.R.B!!
All right Ed.you’ve got a reader!!
Tracy:you and the rest of your ilk need to tell me again just how misguided I am. On second thought, don’t bother. I won’t be back…..TM
