Iran TV debate challenge to Bush



Mr Ahmadinejad again insisted Iran's programme was peaceful

Iran's president has challenged US President George W Bush to a live TV debate on world affairs.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused the US and UK of abusing their "special privileges" and said a debate would let both sides air their views uncensored.

The White House called his suggestion a "diversion" from global concerns over Iran's nuclear programme.

Mr Ahmadinejad was speaking two days before a UN deadline for Iran to halt work on its nuclear programme.

He said Tehran had proposed a framework for further talks but said no-one could stop Iran having a peaceful programme.

"Peaceful nuclear energy is the right of the Iranian nation," he told a news conference.

1. If Kerry's going to run again he should do it. Say October.

2. Bush would win a debate on The Holocaust. After all...

The Iranian guy says it doesn't happen, but George Dubya knows that Grandpa Prescott Bush made all his money making sure it DID happen.

3. What's funny and what's sad

What's funny: Bush would never, never, never debate Ahmadinejad, or anybody else again. He was promised by Uncle Dick he'd never have to do that again after the 2004 debates.

What's sad: Bush would send kids to die in Iran at the drop of an oil barrel.
