The true character of the persons speaking at opening of the General Assembly of the United Nations became evident as they delivered their remarks. President Bush was eloquent and visionary, speaking the truth about the nature of the enemy and what must be done. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke like the deluded power-hungry despot he is, and Hugo Chavez went beyond the pale with his insane and hateful rhetoric accusing the United States of seeking to dominate the world. Indeed, Chavez’ remarks seemed humorous to the president of the General Assembly.
If you care to indulge the insanity, Ahmadinejad’s complete rant is translated at Vital Perspective.
Allahpundit has a video of Chavez’ melt-down, in which he calls President Bush “the devil.” Un.be.lieve.able!
I still stand beside my assertion that the most dangerous people in the world congregate in sanctuary at the United Nations — these recent developments should convince all of us that the UN is completely worthless to the United States and we need to withdraw NOW.
I just hope that the blatant insanity displayed by Chavez and the total scary-weirdness of Ahmadinejad does not go unnoticed – but I have little faith in the Media to report it accurately, certainly non in Reuters, the AP, or the NYT.
The worst part about the whole episode was the warm reception Chavez got from MOST of the General Assembly mewmbership during and at the conclusion of his diatribe. DirtCrashr is right, I did not see any thing critical of the UN other than on Fox News and the Blogs.
Shepard Smith has a poll going at the Fox website about US support for the UN.
I thought that the only constructive thing “Ego” Chavez had to say was to suggest that the UN move to Venezuela. Good riddance to them if they go with his suggestion.
Some websites are praising Charles Rangle (D-NY) and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for speaking out about Chavez’ anti-Bush remarks. I think they are merely angry because they wanted to say those things.
