“I call upon President Obama to stop Ahmadinejad from coming to the UN,” Michele Bachmann said in a statement issued this morning. “This administration tried and failed to do ‘outreach’ to Iran, reminding us once again that appeasement of deadly dictators is never a wise or effective strategy. The President must not continue to lead from behind on key issues of national and international security.”

“In his repeated statements wishing to see another sovereign nation ‘wiped off the map,’ he has proven that he is in violation of the United Nations charter, and of international law,” Bachmann said.
