Reliable source reports that Bush and Rice have granted former Iranian President Khatami a visa to visit the United States. Khatami is on public relations offensive for the radical Iranian regime. He is also scheduled to headline a fundraiser for CAIR (Council On American islamic Relations) while he is in the States.
I am told Bush got "nothing in return."
This comes as Rumsfeld is bemoaning the fact that the terrorists are beating us on the propaganda front.
The naivete' of the Bush Administration is mindboggling!!! It is equivelent to allowing Hitler to visit during WWII. I am disgusted!!!

Our politicians along with most Westerners are so naive, it boggles the mind. What has happened to common-sense and courage? Answer:
Political correctness and multiculturalism killed them.

There are some things that President Bush does that I just cannot understand and this is one of them. What in the world can he be thinking! This is aiding and abetting one of our staunchest enemies! There can be no viable explanation.
Unless they use this opportunitiy to surveil him and uncover operatives in the United States . . .

It is a shame that people like Khatami are permitted to enter USA and travel freely in this country. Visa should not be given to a person who is openly helping terrorists and collecting money for islamic fundamentalists, knowbody knows if this money is not used to do some more harm to peace loving people.

This is simply incomrehensible! How is it possible for our president to TALK correctly about our war with the Islamofascist
(the inheritors of the line of tyranny that is from Fascism to Naziism to Communism) with ACTING in an absolutely contrary manner. I am non-plussed, except for the realization that our
State Department has always been and continues to be the real Fifth Column in America. Remember that most of its staff has served in Arab/Muslim countries where they were hosted and toasted and given all that their very little hearts desired. It was little wonder the Fulbright, after being out of office, turned lobbyist for those inimical to our true interests in the Middle East. Traitor is a name I give to that kind of behavior, and I don't stint on it as far as Foggy Bottom is concerned.

How does America expects to win this war against terrorism if it keeps giving the enemy ammunition to fight us with? When will they learn that you can't win a war fighting it like we did in Viet Nam. I thought they had learned their lesson and by now had realized - Arabic terrorists do not tell the truth.

This is an outrage. Why are our upper lever administration allowing such a travesty. In our fight against terrorism, they are allowing this terrorist free access to the u.s.in order to add more terrorists to their already significant membership.It will not be long before a significant number of this group will be (probably already are) ever present in this country........and then what

There is a bottleneck in the Bush Administration that prevents cohesiveness and complete resolve on the issue of terrorism. I am about to conclude that it is Secretary of State Rice. The granting of visas for the purpose of fund raising and spreading rhetoric of their position against The United States to agents of those countries with whom we are using our armed forces to protect us, defies comprehension. There can be no basis that is in fact within the area of Diplomacy. We are at war with those who wish to kill and destroy those that do not share their religion.
