TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad challenged U.S. President George W. Bush to a debate on global issues at a U.N. summit in New York, state TV reported on Sunday, repeating a call rejected by Washington last year.

"I had suggested holding a debate. I am saying again that let us discuss global concerns at the (U.N.) General Assembly in front of representatives of other nations," Ahmadinejad told state television.


The White House rejected Ahmadinejad's last year call for a presidential debate, calling it a "diversion."

yeah, no shit!!

Then in 3 weeks they'll all say "Iran has no interest in working out a peaceful solution to our problems. Weve tried and tried and Iran just will not talk reason to us."


The sad part is that so many dumb asses will believe it.
