so, look, the swan song for mahmoud amadinejad. it was a mild speech.le we expected like every other year he'd blame us for 9/11 or something along those lines, that didn't happen. he wrapped it up with what might be potentially considered a states man's speech. how about that. who knew? nice to know though, isn't it? so navigating dangerous, somewhat dangerous, or dangerous sounding people like amadinejad can be a dangerous thing to do especially if you're trying to navigate somewhere around 200 world power brokers from communists to war lords. it could be some of the toughest jobs on the planet. it makes the u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon very powerful and important and the only person our president decided to meet with formally while he was here at the u.n. yesterday. so in what is arguably the busiest week for arguably one of the most important men in the world, alina cho spent a whole lot of time. >> a couple of hours. >> i can't believe it. on the opening day of the u.n.ga you get this incredible access to this man. >> incredibly lucky. >> we

the person i'm peeking of none other than mahmoud amadinejad. you've heard of him. he's about to make his final address as the president of iran. it is not going to be standing room only especially since the u.s. delegation has just decided that it's going to boycott the whole process. not walk out, don't even walk in in the first place. here is the explanation that the u.s. delegation gave us. i'm going to read verbatim. spokeswoman erin pelton says i quote, mr. amadinejad once again uses his trip of the u.n. not to address the legitimate aspirations of the iranian people but to spout paranoid theories and repulsive slurs against israel. does not seem to be much need to read between any of those lines. in the past years western and israeli envoys have decided to come in but then do this walk right out again once amadinejad speaks. this was the scene in 2009. there they go. up and out. then in 2010 it was the same thing all over. ear phones off pages folded collect your stuff. there goes the u.s. they weren't the only ones. a whole bunch of delegations followed them
