Hunter warns Columbia University 
Cancel Invitation to Iranian President
        
September 22, 2007 Mackinac Island, MI...Congressman Duncan Hunter issued a
statement this morning from Mackinac Island directed to Columbia University.
"To host the leader of Iran when he supports terrorists that are moving
deadly roadside bombs across the Iraqi border to be used against American
troops is a slap in the face for the entire 165,000 men and women in Iraq
and to those that have served before them," said Hunter. 
"If President Lee Bollinger follows through with this hosting of the leader
of Iran, I will move in Congress to cut off every single type of Federal
Funding to Columbia University.  If the left-wing leaders of academia will
not support our troops, they, in the very least, should not support our
adversaries."
 "This event, following the slanderous action of MoveOn.org, depicting
General Petraeus as "General Betray Us," in the New York Times represents
the emergence of the extreme left-wing in American politics."   
 Concluding, "I think it is time for the Democrat party to denounce this
fringe element in their party," said Hunter.
