Ahmadinejad Not To Visit Ground Zero

The latest development on this story is that - at least for the time being - Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will not be visiting Ground Zero in New York. BBC:

    The New York authorities have rejected a request from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to visit the site of the 11 September 2001 attacks.

    The Iranian president will arrive in New York on Sunday to address the United Nations General Assembly.

    A New York police spokesman said the World Trade Center site was closed to visitors because of construction work.

    He said requests by Mr Ahmadinejad to visit Ground Zero would be opposed on security grounds.

    New York Police Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said the Iranian leader had asked the permission of the police department, the US Secret Service and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to visit the site.

Ahmadinejad wanting to visit Ground Zero...it's a no-brainer that the correct and immediate response should have been a resounding, "NO." The White House didn't get it, Lifetime Democrat-turned-Republican-only-so-he-could-be-mayor-of-New York Michael Bloomberg didn't get it and neither, of course, did the Democrats. I'm surprised New York's Senior Chicken Cluck Schumer didn't roll out a red carpet at Ground Zero and offer to provide a personally guided tour for the Iranian Terrorist .

The two who did "get it" immediately were Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, both of whom I have problems with as potentially being the Republican presidential candidate. However...they are beginning to appeal to me more and more because of situations just like this. A Giuliani-Romney or Romney-Giuliani Ticket is sounded better and better - in small amounts - every day.

They should take him to the Empire State building instead, stuff a pickled pig pecker in his ass, light him on fire, and then throw him off from the highest point!
 
No really, tell what you really think about this.
