حمايت پرزیدنت بوش از تصميم پليس نيويورک
در مورد احمدی نژاد
خبرگزاري آلمان در گزارشی از واشنگتن نوشت رئيس جمهور آمريکا روز پنجشنبه اعلام کرد از تصميم اداره پليس نيويورک براي رد درخواست احمدی نژاد در مورد ديدار از محل حادثه يازده سپتامبر حمايت مي کند.
احمدي نژاد خواستار آن شده بود که هنگام حضورش در نيويورک براي شرکت در مجمع عمومي سازمان ملل در هفته آينده از محل سابق مرکز تجارت جهاني ديدن کند، اما پليس نيويورک با ذکر دلائل امنيتي اين درخواست را رد کرد.
رئیس جمهور آمریکا در کنفرانس خبري روز پنج شنبه خود در کاخ سفيد گفت من مي توانم درک کنم که چرا آنها نمي خواهند کسي که هدايت کشوری را برعهده دارد که دولتش حامي تروريسم است، در محل حادثه یازده سپتامبر حضور یابد.
ريموند کلي رئیس پليس نيويورک روز گذشته هنگامی که گفت اداره او در حال بررسي درخواست احمدي نژاد است، باعث بروز اعتراضاتی شد.
به نوشته روزنامه نيويورک تايمز، در پی اظهارات او يکي از سخنگويان پليس نيويورک اعلام کرد که احمدي نژاد قادر به ديدار از اين محل نخواهد بود.
احمدي نژاد خواستار نابودي اسرائيل شده و هولوکاست را بي اهميت دانسته است. خبر ديدار احتمالي او از محل حادثه یازده سپتامبر بلافاصله با اعتراضات سازمانهاي يهودي مواجه شد.
اين سازمانها با صدور بيانيه اي اعلام کردند براي رئيس اصلي ترین دولت حامي تروريسم در جهان ديدار از اين مکان مقدس در حکم نقض تقدس آن و خاطره افرادي خواهد بود که در آن جان باختند.

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is visiting the United Nations next week.
Don't even think about it.
The president of Iran - an accused terrorist, Holocaust denier and proud member of the Axis of Evil - had the audacity to request an official tour of Ground Zero when he's in the city next week.
The NYPD promptly rejected the idea, but that may not stop Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from visiting the sacred ground.
A spokesman for the Iranian mission to the United Nations said even though the request to visit "Ground Zero and the immediate area" was rejected, Ahmadinejad still wants to go.
"We are hopeful that we can still work something out with the Police Department," the Iranian spokesman said.
Just the thought of Ahmadinejad standing on the same ground where the twin towers were destroyed and nearly 3,000 people were killed by terrorists sickened many victims' relatives, White House aides and prominent politicians.
"He's certainly an enemy of ours," said Jack Lynch, a retired MTA supervisor whose son, Michael Lynch, a firefighter, was killed in the 9/11 attacks.
"He's a nut. How can anyone deny the Holocaust? His presence is not welcome."
Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Republican presidential candidate, and Democratic hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton were among the U.S. leaders who condemned the proposed visit.
"Assisting Ahmadinejad in touring Ground Zero - hallowed ground for all Americans - is outrageous," Giuliani said.
"This is a man who has made threats against America and Israel , is harboring Bin Laden's son and other Al Qaeda leaders, is shipping arms to Iraqi insurgents and is pursuing the development of nuclear weapons."
Clinton said Ahmadinejad was not welcome because he "refuses to renounce and end his own country's support of terrorism."
White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe agreed.
"It seems odd that the president of a country that is a state sponsor of terror would visit Ground Zero," he said.
Little can be done to keep Ahmadinejad, who is arriving Sunday to address the United Nations' General Assembly, from visiting Ground Zero like any other tourist. The attack site is about 5 miles from the UN.
A Secret Service detail, provided to heads of state when they visit the U.S. , is expected to accompany Ahmadinejad around the city during his visit.
Ahmadinejad - who has said Israel should be "wiped off the map" and has called the Holocaust a "myth" - reportedly wants to go to Ground Zero at 10 a.m. Monday.
He will go to Columbia University the same day. The radical leader will debate the university president over his stance on the Holocaust, Israel and whether Iran supports terrorism and is developing nuclear weapons.
Ahmadinejad made an official request to tour Ground Zero and lay a wreath there through the Iranian mission about two weeks ago, authorities said.
The NYPD denied his request, citing security and logistical concerns after meeting with the Secret Service and Port Authority officials, authorities said.
A police spokesman said the NYPD also would oppose Ahmadinejad visiting the public area of Ground Zero. The spokesman said no official request had been received.
The Iranian president is a hard-liner who has denied claims by several Americans that he was among the extremists who took them hostage during the 1979 Islamic revolution. He also has stated recently that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job, carried out with the help of intelligence agents.
"Could it be planned and executed without coordination with intelligence and security services - or their extensive infiltration?" he asked in an open letter to President Bush in May 2006. "Of course this is just an educated guess. Why have the various aspects of the attacks been kept secret?"
Nikki Stern, whose husband was killed on Sept. 11, said Ahmadinejad visiting Ground Zero would amount to a propaganda stunt. "It would be amusing if it weren't so dangerous," she said.
The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Zalmay Khalilzad, told reporters the U.S. would not support Iran 's attempt to use the site for a "photo op."
" Iran can demonstrate its seriousness about concern with regard to terrorism by taking concrete actions," he said, such as dropping support for Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and suspending its uranium enrichment program.
Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Brooklyn, Queens) was more direct, declaring: " Iran is a terrorist state and its president is a danger to the world."
Madman Ahmadinejad has blood of our heroes on his hands

The president of Iran flies into Kennedy Airport this weekend, dripping with the blood of the soldiers whose torn and shattered bodies land there from Iraq .
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will step off his plane under the unhappy but thoroughly professional protection of the same Port Authority cops who always line up and salute a soldier's coffin as it emerges from the cargo hold.
None of the cops will be saluting this Iranian killer whose country smuggles devastating roadside bombs to the insurgents in Iraq .
These explosively formed projectiles, or EFPs, comprise a relatively small percentage of the bombs employed in Iraq , but account for a disproportionate number of American casualties. EFPs have killed some 200 U.S. troops, maiming many more.
And, you can be sure that any soldier's death Iran did not have a direct hand in was still a death Ahmadinejad applauded. You can also be sure the PA cops will only be doing for him what they are required to do for any head of state, however odious.
"We have people coming in who shouldn't be on the VIP board but on perp logs," one cop remarked yesterday. "Other than getting protected, they don't get any special treatment from us. It's part of the job, but that doesn't mean you have to like it."
Ahmadinejad's very presence is an affront to decency, and he has sought to compound it by requesting to visit Ground Zero while he is here for next week's United Nations gathering. His advance team asked that he be allowed to lay a wreath in The Pit and "pay his respects."
The NYPD answered with a single word.
"No."
The question remains why Ahmadinejad would want to visit there. He is a guy who denied the Holocaust ever happened and called for the entire nation of Israel to be exterminated. He could not possibly have the slightest feeling for a few thousand murdered innocents in downtown Manhattan .
Most likely, he just wishes to add insult to injury. Imagine how the family and comrades of a soldier killed by an EFP would feel to see a photo of Ahmadinejad setting a wreath on the sacred ground where the twin towers stood. It is bad enough our politicians seek to use Ground Zero to further their own interests.
Meanwhile, the Port Authority police are waiting for word that a true VIP will be landing at Kennedy. Army Spec. Jonathan Rivadeneira was killed along with three other G.I.s by a roadside bomb in Iraq on Sept. 14. He was a 22-year-old medic who had grown weary of treating wounded soldiers.
"All he saw was injured soldiers and death," his mother said.
He nonetheless volunteered to go out on patrol when he could have remained out of harm's way in an aid station. His wake is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. His funeral is to be on Monday at St. Joan of Arc Parish in Jackson Heights , Queens .
Should his body land at Kennedy, the Port Authority police and the National Guard will as always be there to give a solemn salute. An honor guard will carry the coffin from the plane to the hearse and a motorcade will take him to the airport perimeter.
From there, a joint PAPD-NYPD motorcade will escort Rivadeneira home to Queens , where his mother has been praying with the mother of a soldier who is missing in action.
The PAPD will then return to Kennedy Airport , where the president of Iran will fly in, dripping with blood.

No. No. No. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can not be allowed to defile Ground Zero, must be stopped from exploiting this hallowed landmark, this tragic product of a fanaticism cousin to the demons in Ahmadinejad's soul.
When Ahmadinejad expressed an interest in visiting Ground Zero during his upcoming trip here for the UN General Assembly, he was promptly given the only correct answer: Drop dead. Now there are reports that he intends to appear at least in the vicinity of Ground Zero on Monday morning regardless. To him we say: Go to hell.
Ahmadinejad is an enemy of the U.S. in particular and of civilization in general. He is spilling American blood. His government is supplying weapons to forces that are killing our troops in Iraq . His presence on American soil is a damnable insult, one we suffer because New York is a global city with a slice of international territory on the East Side .
The Iranian can claim to have no affinity for Al Qaeda - they being Sunni and he being Shiite - but he harbors his own dream of imposing radical Islam on the world, and he has been monstrously frank in his attitudes toward Israel . Dear to Ahmadinejad's heart is the idea of wiping the Israelis off the map, literally.
As for 9/11, he has questioned whether, in fact, the attack was part of an American-hatched conspiracy. In a letter to President Bush in 2006, he asked: "Could it be planned and executed without coordination with intelligence and security services - or their extensive infiltration? Of course this is just an educated guess."
And there is no doubt Ahmadinejad has set his sights on Ground Zero as an act of provocation. He felt no need to go there when he came to New York in 2006. In fact, he dismissed the idea in an interview with Time magazine.
"Did you visit the site of the World Trade Center ?" Ahmadinejad was asked.
"It was not necessary," he replied. "It was widely covered in the media."
Now, it's different. Now, he wants to propagandize. At the UN he will lie through his teeth in denying that Iran has nuclear weapons ambitions, and he will speak on the platform of a world body that's too craven to give him the boot.
New Yorkers are made of sterner stuff and decent stuff. Our city must deny Ahmadinejad aid and comfort - including restricting him to certain roads and sidewalks. All of Manhattan south of Canal St. must be forbidden to him by the NYPD.
Dear Friends of Freedom,
The Foundation for Democracy in
Iran , in coordination with Citizens United and other groups, is calling
on all Americans, regardless of their origin or political believes to
come to New York on Monday to defend
Ground Zero from desecration by the terrorist president of the
Islamic Republic of Iran,
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
We will be chartering buses from the
Washington , DC area. Please watch our website,
www.iran.org, for more details and for rendez-vous points.
Stay tuned!
Best regards,
Ken
