Iran Nuclear Watch: Iran President Ahmadinejad at the United Nations

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addresses the 61st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Ahmadinejad launched a scathing attack on the United States and Britain in the UN General Assembly, accusing them of manipulating the world body to further their ends and trying to deny his country the benefits of nuclear power.

AP: Iran Tells U.N. Nuclear Program Peaceful

Iran’s nuclear activities are “transparent, peaceful and under the watchful eye” of United Nations inspectors, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday.

Taking the world stage at the U.N. General Assembly hours after President Bush, he also some permanent members of the Security Council _ an apparent reference to the United States _ of using the powerful body as a tool of “threat and coercion.”

He reiterated his nation’s commitment to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty as it faces accusations that it is seeking to develop atomic weapons.

His speech was sharply critical of the United States and Britain, and focused in large part on what he said was their abuse of the Security Council, on which they are both permanent members with veto power.

“The question needs to be asked: if the governments of the United States or the United Kingdom, who are permanent members of the Security Council, commit aggression, occupation and violation of international law, which of the U.N. organs can take them into account,” he said.

“If they have differences with a nation or state, they drag it to the Security Council and as claimants, arrogate to themselves simultaneously the roes of prosecutor, judge and executioner,” he added said. “Is this a just order?”

Ahmadinejad is preparing the world for Iran’s defiance of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1696 that calls for Iran to halt uranium enrichment immediately (actually the deadline was August 31).

The IAEA has well documented Iran’s secret nuclear development program and their covert continuing nuclear programing including enrichment of uranium capable of being diverted to nucelar weapons production.

So, what will the United Nations Security Council do?

Will they allow a NUTTER like Ahmadinejad defy the UNSC?

Flap agrees with Hugh Hewitt.

Ahmadinejad is setting up Iran to defy the Security Council, and is establishing a precedent for all future rogue regimes. If the Security Council does not rebuke this challenge and impose sanctions, the organization, teetering on the brink of irrelevance, will fall over that cliff.

Except…..

The United Nations Security Council will NEVER rebuke Iran.

When the “POINT OF NO RETURN” is reached the United States and Israel WILL prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Michelle Malkin has Ahmadinejad: man of “peace”

Ahmadinejad gets soft and fuzzy with NBC’s Brian Williams:

â€œWhy is the U.S. government so against our people?â€ Ahmadinejad, speaking through a translator, asked in the interview with NBC News. â€œThey speak of war so easily, as if itâ€™s on their daily agenda. We never speak of war.â€
