And how many of you think this was a normal, usual, typical, routine, standard, run of the mill request?
I hope, no one.
This guy, doesn't matter what his name is, wants to come and visit a 'section' that represents Iran, in the Pakistani wing ... and he needs to what, check up on paper clip count? Phone calls being made?
We will eventually find out what he came for ... in political life, nothing is secret, although it may take 1-10 years.
Iranian Foreign Minister Makes Rare Visit to DC

ABC News' Kirit Radia reports: The US granted Iran’s Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki a visa to make a rare visit to the country’s unofficial diplomatic presence in Washington, DC today, the State Department said.
Mottaki was approved to visit Iran’s Interest Section, technically under the auspices of the Pakistani embassy but in a separate building, but there are no plans for US officials to meet with him, according to Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs PJ Crowley.
“There are no plans that he will meet with anyone from the United States government, and I'm not aware of any plans that he would meet with anyone on behalf of the United States government,” Crowley told reporters.
Asked why the US would grant Iran’s top diplomat a visa to come to Washington less than a week after the US and others revealed a secret Iranian nuclear facility and one day before the countries sit down in Geneva to discuss Tehran’s nuclear program, Crowley replied:
“I think we're far more interested in having Iran come tomorrow to Geneva, and we hope that they will be the ones who are offering gestures that they are ready to address the concerns that the international community has. I wouldn't read too much into this. It was a straightforward request, and we granted it.”
Crowley said he believed the request to come to Washington was received and granted within 24 hours of his visit.
