This Administration will do anything for a quick buck. Now all that talk about not doing business with a so called Axis of Evil is just bull. Look friends of the White House have been doing business with Iran for the pass 7 years as other companies were told they couldn't. This young man is a great player and will bring money to the NBA that's all that counts. As for terrorist they are more free to move around the US then American Citizens. We have seen a Gold Medal winner who has a undocumented Mother who is an immigrant. The Bush Policy will most likely kick him out but keep the Gold medal then give him a green card to come back in 2012 to win another Gold for the USA. Gary Phelps a retired State Trooper dumped his son and daughters 14 years ago never to be heard of again as he married his second wife and had kids. Now Michael his son has won 8 Gold Medals he's a Father again. Sounds alot like John McCain.</description></item><item><title>NBA granted license for Iranian basketball player</title><link>http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/21/1281086.aspx#1285814</link><pubDate>Sat, 23 Aug 2008 13:59:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1285814</guid><dc:creator>RangerDan, White Lake, MI</dc:creator><description>This young man's dream is to play basketball in the NBA, not to play basketball while funding Al-Qaida, and blowing up train stations. &amp;nbsp;Is banning him from the NBA going to resolve our political problems with Iran? &amp;nbsp;No, it's just going to alienate the young man and prove to the world that we are mean and vindictive as a country. &amp;nbsp;Let the man play ball!</description></item><item><title>NBA granted license for Iranian basketball player</title><link>http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/21/1281086.aspx#1286202</link><pubDate>Sat, 23 Aug 2008 16:15:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1286202</guid><dc:creator>Steve Hansen</dc:creator><description>Jackie, Please take a pill and call your doc in the morning.</description></item><item><title>NBA granted license for Iranian basketball player</title><link>http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/21/1281086.aspx#1288001</link><pubDate>Sun, 24 Aug 2008 03:01:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1288001</guid><dc:creator>Dave, Tn</dc:creator><description>You mean like this speech Jackie? &lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNfI2fWFgCY"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNfI2fWFgCY&lt;/a&gt;</description></item><item><title>NBA granted license for Iranian basketball player</title><link>http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/21/1281086.aspx#1291627</link><pubDate>Mon, 25 Aug 2008 21:51:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1291627</guid><dc:creator>Joe Schmozer</dc:creator><description>Let him play in the NBA, if he is good enough. &amp;nbsp;Why not? &amp;nbsp;Most Iranians like Americans, maybe their government does not. &amp;nbsp;Hey, we all know what happened when a Chinese ping pong star chatted it up with an American player while on a bus over in China back in the early 70's. &amp;nbsp;Still, most likely a conflict is going to take place within the next 5 years with Iran. &amp;nbsp;So keep the contract limitted to that. &amp;nbsp;Who knows, maybe he can help us get along better. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>NBA granted license for Iranian basketball player</title><link>http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/21/1281086.aspx#1298023</link><pubDate>Wed, 27 Aug 2008 16:01:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1298023</guid><dc:creator>RW</dc:creator><description>But Bob, will Ehadadi play for the New Jersey Americans/New York Nets/New Jersey Nets ...
