NBC Exclusive: Ahmadinejad on the record
Here is an excerpt of Brian Williams' interview with Iranian President Ahmadinejad:
Brian Williams: Mr. President, you're here as a guest of the United Nations, under the protection of the United States. What is your message to the American people?
Ahmadinejad: In the letter I sent to Mr. Bush, I also addressed the American people. We think that the American people are like our people. They're good people. They support peace, equality and brotherhood. They like to see the world in peace.
Williams: The president of the United States, speaking to the United Nations today, said to the people of Iran he looks forward to the day when America and Iran can be good friends. And close partners, in the cause of peace. How do you react to the statement of the American president today?
Ahmadinejad: We have the same desire, to be together, for the cause of world peace. But we have to see what the impediments are. Is it Iranian forces that have occupied countries neighboring the United States, or is it American forces that are occupying countries neighboring Iran? If Mr. Bush is saying that he can create the distance between the Iranian nation and the Iranian government, he is wrong.
Williams: You are on the cover of Time magazine here in the United States and around the world. Inside, it says, "A Date with a Dangerous Mind." Why do you think they think you have a dangerous mind? Do you?
Ahmadinejad: You should hear what I have to say, and then be the judge of that. I think that if people have a hard time accepting the logic and fact, they should not actually accuse others. The picture is an attempt to darken my face a lot. I think it actually shows me much younger than what I am.
Williams: If I was President Bush, sitting here across from you, what would you say to him? resident to President, but more important, man to man?
Ahmadinejad: I think that the situation would have been better here, if you were Mr. Bush. I sent him a letter.
Williams: And the American president says, "It's OK, keep your nuclear program to keep your homes warm. Stop enriching uranium toward weapons." How do you react?
Ahmadinejad: Who is the judge for that? Any entity except for the IAEA? Reports indicate that Iran has had no deviation. We have said on numerous occasions that our activities are for peaceful purposes. The agency's cameras videotape all the activities that we have. Did Iran build the atomic bomb and use it? You must know that, because of our beliefs and our religion, we're against such acts. We are against the atomic bomb. We believe bombs-- are used only to kill people.

I am so impressed with President Ahmadinejad he's like Bill Clinton with that charisma. SPB your right not a word about North Korea's nukes. I guess Bush is scared. Notice who Bush asked Syria to torture a prisoner then Bush goes on the floor of the UN and said they harbor terrorist. Well I hope the Saudi's are listening to how Bush treats his friends. One minute he'll smile and ask a favor then he'll stab you in the back on the floor of the United Nations.
Yup, you are right about the Iranian President. His interview with Brian Williams leaves questions to the American people concerning the Gerbil's demeanor to the Iranian President and the country that the Gerbil says has nuclear weapons. The Gerbil certainly is making himself an idiot since the North Korean President says that he has nukes.
