Columbia University invites terrorist to speak...

[bigmac]

Bear in mind, this is a university that bans ROTC and military recruiters from campus, and they invite Ahmadinejad to speak, someone who has contributed to more US deaths in Iraq than Saddam Hussein. Someone who says Israel should be "wiped off the map", and who has rockets that can reach Israel, and not that far from being able to put nuclear weapons on them.

No way I could bring myself to write a tuition check for my kid to go to that school.

I saw that on the news on the major networks yesterday and this morning. I just don't get it, they are just asking for trouble, it could get ugly, IMO.

So, the same government and media establishment that lied/mislead us into Iraq have how much credibility when it comes to Iran?

[bigmac]

Iran's weaponry and nuclear program are well-documented by the international community, including admissions by Ahmadinejad himself that they have been enriching uranium. And the 800 mile capability of their Shahab-3 ballistic missile is likewise well-documented in the international press. This stuff was even front-page news in that left-wing rag, the New York Times, who is unlikely to be part of the Bush/media conspiracy you're imagining. Additionally, attempts at curtailing Iran's nuclear weapons program have been spearheaded by the French and Germans through the IAEA, where the US has notoriously little influence, since about 2002.

So, you're thinking that Iran's self-admitted nuclear danger to Israel and the rest of the world are conspiratorial fabrications by President Bush and his lackey media? France is part of it too? Germany? Iran itself?

Are those black helicopters I see hovering over your house?

What was the lie and how were you misled?

Do you have evidence that you were lied to or misled?

Who told you that your were lied to or misled?
