UN Delegation Walks Out On Iranian Speech

Yesterday, in the New York HQ of the United Nations, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stood up to give a speech to delegates gathered from around the world. This guy is a nutcase, and proceeded to prove it. While attacking the US for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, he said that: "...some segments within the U.S. government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining American economy and its grips on the Middle East in order also to save the Zionist regime. The majority of the American people as well as other nations and politicians agree with this view."

The US delegation stood up and walked out at that point.

The U.S. delegation walked out of the U.N. speech of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday after he said some in the world have speculated that Americans were behind the Sept. 11 terror attacks, staged in an attempt to assure Israel's survival.

He did not explain the logic of that statement that was made as he attacked the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

My major comment on this is... GOOD FOR THEM!


This guy is crazy, really. He has denied the holocaust ever happened and calls for the destruction of Israel, for example. He is working on producing a nuclear bomb, and expects us all to believe he isn't... just because he says so.

Walking out on his rantings and ravings is the least the delegation could do. I'm glad they had the nerve to do it, instead of sitting there and listening like nice little citizens of the world.

Way to go, US Delegation!

Now, if we can only figure a way to EXIT the UN and boot their headquarters from our country...
