Bloomberg to escort Iranian nutjob to Ground Zero? Update: Poll time – Where do you want to send Ahmadinejad? Update: NYC backs off amid confusion; Update: Columbia U. will host him

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 19, 2007 03:18 PM

Update: Wow. I was just joking about the campus visit in my poll. And now this:

Also today, the president of Columbia University, Lee C. Bollinger, announced that Mr. Ahmadinejad would speak at the university on Monday.

I’m sure he’ll get a warmer welcome than Columbia gave the Minutemen.

Update: Request denied.

Oh, holy hell. The NYSun reports:

In a move that has stunned New York, the Bloomberg administration is in discussions to escort the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to ground zero during his visit to New York next week, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said today.

The Iranian mission to the U.N. made the request to the New York City Police Department and the Secret Service, who will jointly oversee security during the president’s two-day visit. Mr. Ahmadinejad is scheduled to arrive September 24 to speak to the U.N. General Assembly as the Security Council decides whether to increase sanctions against Iran for its uranium enrichment program.

Mr. Kelly said the NYPD and Secret Service were in discussions with the Iranian mission about the logistics for the possible visit, and whether it will take place at all. He said Mr. Ahmadinejad would not be allowed to descend into the pit for safety reasons related to ongoing construction there.

“There has been some interest expressed in his visiting the area,” Mr. Kelly said. “It’s something that we are prepared to handle if in fact it does happen.”

Mr. Kelly said that Mr. Ahmadinejad had not indicated why he wants to visit the site of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Contact Nanny (or should it be Ninny, now?) Bloomberg here.

Poll time: Where should Ahmadinejad be escorted next?

Where should Ahmadinejad be escorted next?
The U.S. Holocaust Museum
Guantanamo Bay
Any college campus…there’s a faculty position waiting for him, for sure
Berkeley
Jimmy Carter’s estate

  

Allahpundit’s outrage-o-meter: White hot:

[I]f Bush and Rice let him go down there, especially in the wake of Petraeus and Crocker reporting the threat Iran poses to American soldiers in Iraq, you have no idea how grave the political fallout will be. Consider this an alert from the grassroots early warning system. You ignored the warning we gave you this summer about the amnesty bill. For your sake, don’t ignore this one.

Via Stephen Spruiell, here’s Mitt Romney’s letter to the U.N. asking that Ahmadinejad’s invitation to address the General Assembly be rescinded.

    For the record, I’m not in favor of what I am about to say. It goes counter to American Justice, and if it happens, should be prosecuted fully:

    He comes here, someone’s gonna shoot him. It’s a near-certainty.

    There is a great media/publicity trap at work in all of this. Marxist operatives in this country (such as Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky) have beaten home the point that US capitalists always find an enemy to turn on, and use their demonizing powers of propaganda to do so in order to keep the nation at war with somebody.

    So here is NutJob being looked at as some kind of powerless man of a backward nation that has no bad intentions toward the US. So much of what the left reads is sympathetic to Iran as this mysterious, spiritualist nation of people with a “great culture” (when in effect many exiles and emigrants say that the mulla-ocracy there has destroyed so much of the culture by its dictatorial barbarism.

    So no matter what is said about NutJob by the informed (Petraeus, et al), the press and our resident quislings take the opposite view on the basis of their brainwashed skulls- from all the way back in elementary school in the 1980s when this bullcrap made it into the schools through the young liberal teachers who came of age under Jimmuh Carter and his peanut brain.

    But I don’t believe this is any kind of majority in this country. It is a group that will lose its mind when the talking stops and hell’s fury is unleashed.

    The worse the craziness and immorality of the left before the shooting stops- the worse, the harder the fall. Look at what happened to Weimar Germany as the left leaning elites didnt take Hitler seriously.

    And AJ, it’s not rationale. Just a prediction. I would so, SO much rather he be arrested, tried, and convicted before being put to death.

    We have a process. We should follow it before we kill him.

    Ahminthemoodforjihad doesn’t deserve anything less than the fate of Saddam, or Mussolini. If his own countrymen get ahold of him, he’ll reap what he has sown. The brutality in Iran against dissenters has stepped up in a serious way the last couple of years. Stoning women to death, hanging rape victims, imprisonment for violating the craziest Islamic regulations like wearing the wrong shirt. The people are getting really restless, and I wish we could empower them to handle this a**hole themselves.

    All great suggestions. As for caliber, I would favor 25mm.

    He could have a “guided tour”, courtesy of the Air Force. We’ll call it “a day in the life of a JDAM”. He can fly with one of our Strike Eagles. Only he’ll be strapped to the wing, and we can precisely drop him on Hugo Chavez’s house, since they’re such great friends, from 30,000ft. At Mach 2.5.
    Whatcha think of that idea?

    I just happen to be assigned to an F-15E Wing I might just be able to find some volunteers to fly this type of mission. But would probably get killed in the stampede to sign-up for the mission.

    I like the poll, but AYE, to reference #17. Send him to Gitmo, but just as a quick layover on his one-way trip to Hell. For his brand of evil, the devil is going to have to jam-pack him into the deepest pit with Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Pol Pot, etc. Maybe the pit could be further warmed to be as hot as a nuclear device at detonation in Ahmadinejad’s honor.

    Then again, I think perhaps being confined to the mud wallow of a pig farm could be the best earthly justice for him.

    Can’t. The laws against pollution, y’know. People swim and fish gotta live in that water.

    Smoke ‘em out like rats instead. Then, after the place is fumigated, use it for a top-notch VA hospital.

    Leepro, #56, I wasn’t too clear on that, was I…. I had read that Bush hadn’t protested about the proposed visit and basically told Bloomidiot to handle it himself. IMO, Bush should have taken a firm stand and protested even if it wasn’t Bush’s final decision. Surely Bush could have stopped it. I am not too happy with President Bush on several things and the list keeps growing.

    I agree with you. I read that same article and got sick in my stomach. I went on to write an email to the CU president. I told him that he didn’t need to listen to this murderous crap, we already know what his intentions are. Namely, to wipe Israel off the map, to impose Islamic law on us and every other wesern democracy, and to continue to kill Americans in Iraq.

    Following his logic, he would have to sit down in the humgry lion’s cage to find out if he was hungry enough to eat him. Makes no sense. These clowns are crapweasels.

    Actually, more fitting is the execution of the friend of Saddam’s, who was too fat and his rope was too long is more fitting, next to the ant hill someone mentioned.

    And in the mood I am in, please include EVERY politician who promotes the idea of letting Hugo Chavez and Ahmedisadamnjerk into this nation, and whoever is responsible for their invitation to SPEAK to the UN. They can all have their own spot on a red ant bed, as well, with the personal ministrations of some good old gals with American Indian blood in them, like ME for instance – who know a thing or two about how to make such persons SUITABLY “comfortable”.
