Ahmadinejad just why he is the President of Iran and showed just how smart, educated and informed his is about US news. The CBS interviewer was out classed and really shown to be stupid. Bush is afraid to face Ahmadinejad but sends a message delivered by a reporter. I was glad Ahmadinejad spoke up about how all Presidents visiting a country pay their respects to a holy site. I notice Americans have forgotten when Ronald Reagan went to Russia and said tear down that wall and then it was torn down. The Media is brought and paid for and making Americans look as stupid as Bush/Cheney.

I noticed that the President of Israel is changing his tune and will be planning on meeting Hamas. I guess even Israel knows the Bush Administration is over.

How does anyone remember when Bush invited the Saudi King and how he was given a full tour yet the 9/11 attackers were mainly Saudis. No problem with Bush inviting the Taliban to the United States and showing them around. Just how dumb are Americans anyway all that was on the news yet people act like it never happen.

Good point Jackie about the Saudi's.
I thought Pelley was one sided and put Ahmadinejad on the defense, he also interupted him many times, very poor job on Pelley's part, all the way around.
Yes, Ahmadinejad is very in tune to what is going on everywhere, unlike our current embarrassment of an Administration. Here we have Ahmadinejad, well informed, well educated, actually going around the world meeting with world leaders himself, and what is the Gerbil doing? Is he back at the ranch again? Has someone explained to him the difference between Austria and Australia?
