Ahmadinejad Challenges Obama To "Man-to-man" Debate At U.N. in September

The Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, also known as "The Persian Mini Me" has thrown down the gauntlet and challenged U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama, also known as "The Open Hand Extender", to a face to face debate at the United Nations when Ahmadinejad visits there next month.

Funny thing...I don't recall Ahmadinejad ever offering to debate George W. Bush. Do you?

Hmmm....do you think the pipsqueak Shiite with the crossed eyes thinks he can actually win a debate with an American President? The article says it is highly doubtful that Obama would accept the challenge but I ask...why not? Isn't Obama the one that said that if the Iranians opened their hand and unclenched their fist, that he would sit down and talk with them?

I would think that a genius like Obama, remember...it is a given that he IS the most intelligent President EVER in the history of America, would relish the opportunity of turning Ahmadinejad into a pretzel, verbally in a debate. Imagine all of the civil rights violations in Iran that could be thrown in the little man's face, imagine the threats against the Israelis and the West that could be manipulated into the exchange and imagine the support of terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas....hell, Obama could even go for the gusto and provide a power point presentation with photos that prove Iranian military forces and weapons found in Iraq!

I mean, seriously, wouldn't it be a knock out in the first round?

Here's the article from Israel National News:

Ahmadinejad Challenges Obama to a 'Man-to-Man' to Debate

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has challenged U.S. President Barack Obama to a public and "man-to-man" debate when the Islamic Republic leader visits the United Nations next month for the next session of the General Assembly. President Obama is unlikely to accept the offer.

Ahmadinejad criticized the American leader for missing “historic opportunities" and being under the influence of Israel. "Somebody should answer questions whether the U.S. government is dominated by the Zionists, or the Zionist regime is controlled by the U.S. government,” he added.

In a live state television address to expatriate Iranians, he stated, "We are hopefully coming for the UN assembly. We are ready to sit down with Mr. Obama face-to-face and put the global issues on the table, man-to-man, freely, and in front of the media and see whose solutions are better. We think this is a better approach."

You support a country which has hundreds of atom bombs, and you say 'we have to stop Iran,' which you say can one day have a bomb. You are disgracing yourselves in the world."

The offer of a debate follows by several weeks the Iranian’s president’s suggestion that the United States accept Iranian help to stop the giant oil spill on the Gulf of Mexico. The U.S. government made no comment on the offer.

Ahmadinejad has blamed the United States for “global disorders,” particularly the recent financial crisis that threw the entire world into panic and ushered in an almost-worldwide recession.

Despite Ahmadinejad’s criticism of the U.S. government, President Obama previously has tried to “engage” Ahmadinejad in diplomatic talks over the Islamic Republic’s unsupervised construction of nuclear power.

Ahmadinejad said in his speech, "The U.S. government recently said it was ready for a high level dialogue. Fine, we are ready to have high level talk based on mutual respect and dignity. But if you think you can brandish a stick so that we accept all that you say, that will not happen.”

Following the lack of diplomatic progress with Iran, the United States last month convinced the United Nations Security Council to slap a new round of sanctions on the country and then stiffened its own punitive measures to restrict investments and activity in Iran’s energy sector.
