However, it was far from clear whether the Iranian president was serious in his suggestion or whether he was merely tweaking the nose of his American opponents. His intention to visit New York was reported by the Islamic Republic News Agency, which quoted the Presidential Office Media Department reporting him as saying, "We are ready for a debate with the Americans at the U.N. General Assembly" and that "the American side can even take part in the debate side by side with his advisors, and as a full team, if they wish so." Mr. Ahmadinejad last visited the United Nations last year.
I called Ahmadinejad "scrappy" in an earlier post, but clearly that fails to completely define this guy. He is certainly feeling empowered by the Bush mishaps in the middle east and he is willing to ride that wave of support from his people and the countries surrounding Iran to confront the Goliath of America on its own shores. Ballsy!
