I hope the "IAEA" is the organization/treaty I was thinking of.

Something tells me it's not an act. I wonder if his deterioration is some kind of dry-drunk syndrome?

I think it's very possible that the way he talks is an act.

It makes sense and no one gets that stupid that fast.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) -- The United States rejected the suggestion on Friday that a debate might take place between U.S. President George W. Bush and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the sidelines of the upcoming UN General Assembly.

"I don't think that will happen," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

The U.S. State Department has issued a visa to Ahmadinejad, Perino added.

According to media reports, Ahmadinejad made the proposal of debating with Bush in an interview with Iranian television.

"Let's sit down and talk. But not behind closed doors ... I propose discussing international questions at the UN General Assembly in order to solve them," he said.

The United States will discuss with other permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany to try to pass a new resolution on Iran to punish Tehran for its defiance over its nuclear program.

Washington has accused Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program. Iran has denied U.S. charges and insisted that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.

Why is Israel allowed to have Nukes, and not be apart of the IAEA?

because Isreal is not officially 'recognized' as having nukes, but everyone knows they do, supplied by US technology.
