Iran college asks Bush to speak

[cynatnite]

An Iranian university has invited US leader George W Bush to speak following his Iranian counterpart's hostile reception at a US college last week.
"We're not taking it too seriously," said a White House spokeswoman.

She said Mr Bush might have considered the invitation if Iran allowed freedom of expression, did not have nuclear ambitions, and did not threaten Israel.

Columbia University's head last week introduced Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a "petty and cruel dictator".

The head of Ferdowsi University in Iran's second city of Mashhad - one of the country's oldest universities - said Mr Bush could answer students' questions about the Holocaust, terrorism and human rights.

1. As if Bush has the balls to speak to an audience that isn't hand-picked

:rofl:

2. Turn Around Is Fair Play......

what's a matter * - scared?

3. I would be, if I were him. :)

4. he could? I doubt that--he would actually have to know something about the subjects,

would he not?

5. Maybe they will find a way to keep him in IRAN forever.

Bush and Iran's Pres have much in commn.

[Disturbed]

6. Busholini will probably snap up the invitation after he

is forced to leave office so he can "Replenish his coffers". If he doesn't order
an Air Strike on Iran he can make some $$$ giving speeches in Iran. Now he has incentive not
to start WW3.

7. guess they don't know that junior has limited speaking abilities

[sinkingfeeling]

8. AWOL Bush wouldn't leave the USA without half of Blackwater to protect his ass.

No way does he have the 'balls' to go into Iran and speak before an audience he didn't get to choose.

9. Maybe he'll make a "surprise" visit like he does in Iraq

You know the kind, where he slips into the country under the cover of darkness
