Subscribe to RSSPresident Obama tells the United Nations General Assembly that the US will "do what we must" to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Updated at 12:05 p.m. ET: Barack Obama told the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday that the United States will "do what we must" to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
The president also used the high-profile event to commemorate late Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who was slain with three other Americans when the U.S. consulate in Bengazi, Libya, came under attack Sept. 11.
"There are no words that excuse the killing of innocent" people and "no video that justifies an attack on an embassy," Obama told the General Assembly.
He stressed that recent violence should not been seen simply as attacks on America.
Obama denounces violence in Middle East, calls for tolerance and democracy
"They are also an assault on the very ideals upon which the United Nations was founded -- the notion that people can resolve their differences peacefully, that diplomacy can take the place of war, that in an interdependent world, all of us have a stake in working towards greater opportunity and security for our citizens," he said.
'Time is not unlimited'
On Iran, Obama said that while there was still time for a diplomatic solution to the crisis that "time is not unlimited."
U.S. officials reportedly suspect Iran is behind a string of recent cyber attacks that were aimed at major U.S. banks. Jim Finkle of Reuters has more on the story.
Amid mounting tensions over Iran's nuclear program and talk of a military strike by Israel on Iran, Obama has refused demands from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to set an explicit "red line" for Tehran.
Netanyahu has shown growing impatience over Obama's entreaties to hold off on attacking Iran's nuclear sites to give sanctions and diplomacy more time to work.
Underscoring the depth of the problem, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in New York on Monday that Israel has no roots in the Middle East and would be "eliminated," ignoring a U.N. warning to avoid his usual incendiary rhetoric ahead of the annual General Assembly session. Iran denies seeking a nuclear bomb.
Obama said that the U.S. wanted to find a peaceful solution to the problem and believed "that there is still time and space to do so."
“But that time is not unlimited. We respect the right of nations to access peaceful nuclear power, but one of the purposes of the United Nations is to see that we harness that power for peace,” he said.
“Make no mistake: A nuclear-armed Iran is not a challenge that can be contained. It would threaten the elimination of Israel, the security of Gulf nations, and the stability of the global economy. It risks triggering a nuclear-arms race in the region, and the unraveling of the non-proliferation treaty,” he said.
“That’s why a coalition of countries is holding the Iranian government accountable. And that’s why the United States will do what we must to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon,” he added.
US-Israel rift over Iran widens; Obama denies Netanyahu asked for meeting
Speaking Tuesday to the General Assembly, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he rejected threats of military action by one state against another, an apparent reference to recent comments by Israeli, Iranian and U.S. officials.
While he did not specify which countries he was talking about, Ban added, "I also reject both the language of delegitimization and threats of potential military action by one state against another. Any such attacks would be devastating."
With exactly six weeks to go before the U.S. election, Obama will seek to reassure American voters as well as world leaders that they can count on him to handle the latest global challenges, even as Republican challenger Mitt Romney seizes the chance to pan his foreign policy.
Friction mounts as Israel asks that U.S. give Iran an ultimatum; a tricky position for Obama, whose foreign policy has been lauded. NBC's Andrea Mitchell and CNBC's John Harwood report.
With campaign pressures building in a close race, Obama's final turn on the world stage before facing voters has left little doubt about his immediate priorities.

He skipped the customary one-on-one meetings with foreign counterparts but went ahead with the taping of a campaign-style appearance on the popular television talk show "The View" -- a tradeoff that drew Republican criticism.
Obama planned to be in and out of New York in 24 hours, one of the briefest presidential visits to the annual U.N. session in recent memory, and he will be off to the election battleground state of Ohio on Wednesday.
'Disgusting' video
Obama also discussed the attacks on U.S. embassies and consulates -- including the one that killed Stevens -- amid outrage over a California-made film that mocked the Prophet Muhammad.
"Today we must reaffirm that our future will be determined by people like Chris Stevens, and not by his killers. Today we must declare that this violence and intolerance has no place among our United Nations," Obama said.
He described the video that sparked the violence, "Innocence of Muslims," as "crude and disgusting" and an insult "not only to Muslims, but to America as well," but defended America's stance on freedom of speech.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discusses the "danger of not acting" in the era of a potentially nuclear-armed Iran.
"I know there are some who ask why we don't just ban such a video. The answer is enshrined in our laws: Our Constitution protects the right to practice free speech," he said.
"Here in the United States, countless publications provoke offense. Like me, the majority of Americans are Christian, and yet we do not ban blasphemy against our most sacred beliefs. As president of our country, and commander-in-chief of our military, I accept that people are going to call me awful things every day, and I will always defend their right to do so," he added.
Pugnacious Iranian president rips Israel, US ahead of final UN speech
Obama also took Bashar Assad to task for the Syrian president's efforts to crush an 18-month uprising against his regime.
"The future must not belong to a dictator who massacres his people. If there is a cause that cries out for protest in the world today, peaceful protest, it is a regime that tortures children and shoots rockets at apartment buildings," he said.
"And we must remain engaged to assure that what began with citizens demanding their rights does not end in a cycle of sectarian violence," he added.
The unsettled climate surrounding Obama's U.N. visit was a stark reminder that the heady optimism that greeted him when he took office promising to be a transformational statesman has cooled.
Iran increases price on writer Salman Rushdie's head by $500k
Campaigning in Colorado, Romney argued that the United States should not be "at the mercy" of events in the Muslim world. "We want a president who will shape events in the Middle East," he said.
A Pew poll found that while 45 percent of Americans approved of Obama's handling of the attacks on U.S. diplomatic missions in the Muslim world, only 26 percent backed Romney's criticism of his response.

I realize it's a bit much to ask, but do you think we could vote this a$$ clown named Obama out of office? It seems everyone but him realizes that the attack in Benghazi was an act of terrorism and not the response to a movie trailer on You Tube. Don't get me wrong -- Obama could still serve as Celebrity of the United States. He just wouldn't be our president anymore.
Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they
are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a
citizen."
Now add this, "Many of those who refuse,
or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for
by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are
citizens."
Think about it when you vote in November
!
I am voting for Obama!!
Embarrassment in office
Wake up people believe it or not the mu slums hate us and Israel and everybody that don't bow down to there god. We are and have been at war way before 9/11 and it is with the mu slums and there beliefs.
The ungodly in office is trying to divert attention from when our embassy's were attacked across the middle east and our own were raped and tortured for 16 hours and killed and dragged through the streets. Where is the media because they can't say anything because of the ungodly in office.
This was a ACT OF WAR......
Our own people are being tortured, raped and dragged through the streets, Christians crucified on trees and the worthless presidential news media only reports on Romney's success as a business man.
WOW being made fun of for being honest trustworthy and wealthy.
The American dream!

Warning! * Damascus you are No more. Don't travel there.
Funny he should mention Iran’s capability to destabilize the global economy should they attain a nuclear weapon. But he has been conspicuously silent about the fact that the dollar is going to be devalued very soon. China now has the capability to sell Russian crude oil for Chinese Yen on the global market and is actively seeking to buy Mexican crude with Chinese currency. Very soon the US dollar will no longer be the dominant currency used on the global petro fuel market and once that happens we are all Obama-screwed. Obama’s skyrocketing of the US debit and his continued allowing of the Fed to print money like it’s going out of style has made this an economic certainty. This whole UN show and his pontificating about what to do with the threat of a nuclear Iran is a mummer’s farce performed for the benefit of his reelection campaign.
GET A CLUE AMERICA.

INSANE!
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." You mean like your incessant propaganda pasting?
Since when is a listing of facts called propaganda? Oh, since Hitler's Germany, Stalin's USSR, etc.
Steve, When those 'facts' aren't true or accurate. Check Forestgirls 'facts' then decide.
'Propaganda' didn't originate with Hitler... etc.. The earliest documented use was in 1600's, originated by the Catholic Church. American Heritage Dictionary definition "Propaganda n. 1. The systematic propagation of a given doctrine 2. Material disseminated by the advocates of a doctrine. 3. The Congregation of the Roman Curia that has the authority in the matter of preaching the gospel and of establishing the Church in non-Christian countries and of administering Church missions in territories where there is no properly organized hierarchy. [Ital. short for NLat Sacra Congregatio Propaganda Fide. Sacred Congregregation for the Propagating the Faith]
The debates are weeks away and already the mainstream media is preparing that Obama won.
Going on The View and Letterman instead of meeting with our key ally in the area, and the media ignores it.
Real journalism died back in 2008.
Scott Rasmussen is not mainstream media and even his daily poll has Obama ahead.
Who will deliver yours from all these evil works, are you preserved when the Nuke hits, your government hiding in their bunkers and there is a grace, a pleasure that has been shown to all men, total ignorance in return. Rebuke your kings for it is shown today how All despise them, being condemned of themselves daily. Who maintains good works when we see all men are becoming Unfruitful. No obedience to anything other than selfish gains and greedy intentions as he takes on himself the nature of the beasts. This day of temptations and selfish wants will lead you, I swear into nothing but wrath, graves full of innocents bystanders as the evil thrives for this generations falling away from anything moral and good..They shall fall away and not be renewed seeing how they will crucify themselves in silver and gold yet the herbs will grow and the weeds will burn in the fires with no assurance of hope unto the end of this generation, I can swear by no greater thing, who can hide from the wrath of this sickness upon all mankind, no more beginning of days only him that gives this promise, the one made higher than the heavens, let the fires of hell rain down on us, the skin that burns from the bones since there has not been one day without shedding blood, the blood will start running down your streets. That by means of Death the judgement of blood runs over you until the day of his second coming, All those who offend for it's not of your blood that made of this sacrifice, for sin you have had to many pleasures, the same sins that will never take away your iniquities and folly. YOU being condemned to reap what you have sown.. The mark of a man without any faith and it's made impossible to please himself, your reward for failing the test of mankind..
Go pound sand up your exhaust thumper moron!
Chuck, Are you on meds? Your rambling makes no sense.
The bible thumpers are praying for war with Iran so that they can get their "Rapture" and all float up in the sky like balloons
Hopefully, all of the bible thumpers and other religious nuts would float into space and croak
un - your rapture will be totally opposite of Christians! Repent and be saved before a nuclear tipped iranian missile strikes you on the head.
Why, Mr President, if you're planning on starting another war, you should just say so.
Sanctions imposed against Iran right now are serious, are the crippling sanctions that Isreal asked for. Also, I'm not convinced that America needs to have high visibility on this issue at this time. I know Israel wants higher American visibility, higher world visibility, but is it wise right now? Lower visibility helps reduce pressure to make promises that we aren't prepared to deliver on right away and may even help stabalize the process and further progress. I think it's clear that President Obama has not taken use of the military off the table but it is in everyone's interest, Israel included, for diplomacy to be given every chance to work.
What alot of people dont understand is that even if we (USA) threw Israel under the bus we are still the "Great Satan" of the West....Infidels that must be eliminated or converted to Islam. Ahmaduchebag is not gonna Friend Obama on Facebook. We might as well have an Ally in close proximity to Iran.
As for Iran threatening the US....come on....if they have the intelligence to develope a Nuclear Weapon they can figure it out that they dont stand a chance. One Nuclear Submarine can take out ALL of Iran. Them saying that they welcome Martyrdom....that BS.... remember Saddam being captured (found in a hole in the ground), didnt see him fighting to the death or his Republican Guard...they surrendered by the thousands instead of choosing Martyrdom
oh please you guys make a sound like if Iran has nukes then iran will rule the world? give me a break, USA have 100000nukes war head + Israel has 10000 nuke head Iran has ZERO...so who you think have more freedom to Bull$hit to another countries?
Hey Lien, the way you talk about America strike me as one who just want america $$$$. You not nice man, you need to pay more taxes.
Lien you are beyond retarded. There is no second chance with a nuclear war. That would be the end of 99.9999% of the life on this planet due to a nuclear winter.
...@Lien Trinh is Obama's Chief Advisor and gets paid $325,000.00/yr!
Lien, but just one little nuclear warhead in the hands of a madman can ruin your whole day...if you think about it.
I like money....(sound familiar?????) Pleeaaasssse Ms. Trinha Lien...You have nothing of substance to contribute here if it is not directly (not indirectly) related to MONEY.
go back to Viet Nam
Hey Larry. So, Obama snuck into the compound in Pakistan and shot Bin Laden! Wow, what a brave president we have! Oh, I'm sorry it was the Navy Seals who did it????
I'll bet Ambassador Stevens was thinking just how safe he was as the TERRORISTS surrounded his villa and set fire to it, or maybe as they were dragging him around the streets and he realized he was dying he was thinking how glad he was that Obama is keeping him safe!
What did Congress do
in those 40 months? (The House - considerable. The Senate -nothing, not even a
budget nor allowing any House bill to be considered.) A whole new order must

-EXECUTIVE ORDER
11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to

Feel free to verify the "executive orders" at will... and
these are just the major ones ...
Watch Obama's
actions, not his words! By his actions he will show you where America is
headed.
.... Just this week,
Obama has issued a new executive order that seeks to "harmonize" U.S. economic
regulations with the rest of the world. This new executive order is yet another
incremental step that is pushing us closer to a North American Union and a
one world economic system.
Here's another recent Obama Executive Order:
Obama, with great glee, signed on March 16, 2012, his Executive Order 13603 redefining and
creating new policy about America’s National Defense.
Obama’s Executive order 13603 is “National
Defense Resources Preparedness.”
In black and white, Obama laid out his
blueprint for taking over America and our economy by seizing control
of:
· “All
forms of civil transportation”—forced labor. In other words, “induction” as the
executive
order
delicately refers to military conscription
· “All
commodities and products capable of being ingested by either human beings or
animals”
· “Health
resources, which include, but are not limited to: drugs, biological products,
medical devices, materials, facilities, health supplies, services and
equipment”
· “All
forms of energy”
· “All
usable water from all sources”
Scary yes—but it doesn’t stop there.
Get this: federal
officials would “issue regulations to prioritize and allocate resources.”Maybe
this is why so many government departments are buying millions of rounds of
ammunition.
Obama also has stated in his executive order that every government
bureaucracy“shall act as necessary and appropriate.”
The orders Obama has created makes this country
socialistic/communistic.
Unfortunately, most Americans have absolutely no idea what is
happening.
stick your Spam up your backside!
"The item reproduced above purports that President Obama has so far issued a whopping 923 executive orders (compared to about thirty each for previous presidents) and offers supposedly alarming provisions of some of those orders. However, the entirety of this item is erroneous.
First of all, the number of executive orders issued by President Obama is grossly exaggerated here. By our countas of 31 August 2012 the total number of executive orders issued by President Obama was 136, not 923. Moreover, compared to President Obama's predecessors in the White House, this is not an unusually large number of orders for a modern president: President George W. Bush issued 291 executive orders during his eight years in office, while President Bill Clinton issued 365 such orders over the same span of time.
The attribution to President Obama of the fourteen executive orders referenced in the above list is way off base as well: none of those orders was issued by President Obama. The first twelve orders in the list date to the administration of PresidentJohn F. Kennedy in 1962, one dates to the administration of President in 1966, and one dates to the administration of President Gerald R. Ford in 1976."

In other words, your entire post is a copy and paste of an email that has no resemblance to reality at all.
Hank, Thanks for debunking this one. Suggested snopes to Forestgirl earlier but she's not going to let facts get in the way of her bias. She's just going to keep doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
I don't understand how Republicans can be so stupid . Do you people really think that Mitt has what it takes to run this country ?? Wait , don't answer that , you all were the same people that voted for Bush/Cheney for 8 years , need I say more ??
your getting free ride from are gov.huh ...scared you might have to get a job oh wait there aint none thanks to obama
I worry about NBC, MSNBC & MSN are so dishonest it scares me. How can people make the best choice when we have reporter"s who think they know better and are smarter. The above have been caught several times lying.
For or against OBAMA we have to be told the truth. And they MSN,NBC & MSN lie to us !!!!!
Liberal elitism at its best!!!!
Green, you are correct...the media is biased including Fox. that is why it's so important to do your due diligence....lots of reading and research. Takes more time, but you find out the truth...
They are not newscasters, really. They report a thing or two and then focus on their own opinions and have people on to support that opinion.
I thought CNN was sort of ok, but it's moving towards bias also.
If a white president accomplish what Obama did on foreign policy (kill Bin Laden, ended the Iraq War, liberating the people of Libya by help rid them of Gaddafi, getting rid of those d a m n color coded terrorist alerts.), most of you Conservatives would have a statue erected of him.
So take your bigotry and go to h e l l.
...@Larry=Self-hating white zombie. ...LMAO!!!
Hey Larry. So, Obama snuck into the compound in Pakistan and shot Bin Laden! Wow, what a brave president we have! Oh, I'm sorry it was the Navy Seals who did it????
I'll bet Ambassador Stevens was thinking just how safe he was as the TERRORISTS surrounded his villa and set fire to it, or maybe as they were dragging him around the streets and he realized he was dying he was thinking how glad he was that Obama is keeping him safe!
Oh yes, the race card.
People don't oppose Obama because of all of his broken campaign promises, explosive debt, stagnatingly high unemployment, destructive villification of success and big business, laughably weak foreign policy stances and deliberate exacerbation of class warfare...nope, none of those little things have anything to do with it...it's because he's black.
Put the race card back in the deck, no one's buying it.
It's funny how WHITE liberals feel so free to call other whites racists without a shred of proof! Hey Comrade Larry. ( I use comrade for Larry because that's the title he really wants.) Let me take a guess at your profile. You are an elitist that has NEVER served in the military, and you have NEVER served your community or put yourself in harms way. You are so scared of your own shadow that you need BIG BROTHER government to protect you, but you actually hate military and vets because you are jealous of their gonads, a physical feature that you obviously don't have. And, last but not least, your jealousy of others is so strong that you want us who have accomplished things to go to hell.
bin laden was killed be fore we got there ...his own people took him out he didn't want to die by the hands of America.... the president lied
Larry,
If a WHITE REPUBLICAN president had over 8% unemployment for 43 straight months, 1.3 MILLION LESS people working than in 2010, over $4.00 for a gallon of gas, 45 MILLION people on food stamps, 1.5% GDP growth...........You liberal lunatics wouldn't let us forget it.
So, take your hidden racism, race card and shove it.
(Walked right into that. Didn't you, Larry?)
Turn off your computer...You're embarrassing yourself!!
Listen peeps, I live in SC and racism is alive and well here, as well as being quite vocal. The people here have no compunction when using the "n" word as they refer to the President, and call his daughters "niglets". I'm from the northeast and was shocked when I first moved here. They are proud of their history of racism and bigotry, and in fact want to save it in their culture.
There's no such thing as "playing the race card". It is just people's way of claming innocence when they are in fact quite guilty of race hate. Of course not everyone is. But many many are, and it is the core reason for some to want to get the President out of the White House. And the reason I know many are is because THEY SAY SO.....out loud, with passion and disgust and hate.
Drew...I dont know you and I dont know Larry, but you sure are beating him up. What's up with that? Can't disagree without trashing him?
Julia,
You are right. I got out of control and apologize for that. But, I am so tired of people making generalizations about race. The fact is, without the white vote in 2008 Obama wouldn't be there. I grew up in a turbulent period race wise and I am not a racist and resent being called one. I don't agree with your assessment that most people are still racist. And, by the way it does work both ways. I was once attacked and beaten by several people in another race purely because I was white. I deplore racism in all its forms and unfortunately we are taking a giant step backward in this country.
Not an issue of race, your hero added 7 trillion to the natational debt, reneged on ALL campaign promises except nationalized insurance program. He has done more to encourage terrorist attacks than to prevent them. YOU ARE A RACIST of the worst kind!
oh hai mr president, i thought since said to romney: "if you're planning on starting a second war, why don't you just say so" maybe you could turn that around, and ask the same damn question to yourself? since we both know the biased media isn't going to do it.
Remember, the *ONLY* country to use atomic weapons on human beings is the United States. Now, we think we can use any method, deemed expedient, to stop other people from developing the same weapons that we use to bully the rest of the world with. Not that I want looneys having the "bomb", but it is a bit disingenuous of us to act this way. If we had destroyed all of our nukes, at least we would have the moral high ground. Oh, and if they use the damn things, we can just chip a hole in the glass to get to the oil.
Are you referring to reclaiming Shell's oil, on land they still hold valid leases on, where they spent millions in geological studies and exploratory wells to locate, and countless more millions drilling the producing wells, only to have the camel jockeys say No, it's OUR oil, get the f#$% out of our country! Is it THAT oil you're referring to?
If the place is all covered with pretty green glass, there will be no one to make any such claim. Drill away boys.
Israel just wants us to take he lead and waste our money, military equipment and soldiers. That way they can keep all theirs. Plus in the end it will all be blamed on us (it will either way).
Mubarak was a longtime friend or Israel and America. Obama ousted him and gave the country over to the muslim brotherhood.
Libya was no threat, But Obama w/o consent of Congress, bombed their major cities, killing thousands and turned the country over to this muslim brotherhood. Obama has created a muslim caliphate destined to destroy Israel and America. The blood our our ambassador and three others is on the hands of barack and hillary. DO YOU HATE AMERICA THIS MUCH!

You know the Truth, Justice searches for the truth avenge not...The Path to salvation never ends TO THE END --->
Capt. Blowhard has just announced that "we" will do whatever it takes to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons. Considering that there are 1.3 billion muslims <could be wrong on the count> that's all we need, to go to war with Iran.
Even if it means killing every US ambassador and turning over the rest of embassy security to the Muslim Brotherhood?

#The Good Guyyyyyyyy - You are so freaking funny. I can't stop laughing at how STUPID you sound in your comments. Wow... If you are the representative of the libtard party, then I feel SORRY for them...
Da Future of the Obamantion: Barack’s presence and
word was now on television and radio 24/7. He said: You have nothing to Fear,
for I am the “One”. “Look into my eyes, hear my words, all who come to me will be
comforted”. God hearing his words thought of sending lightning bolts to shock
him into sanity. Upon further contemplation, God said Obama was not worth the
effort. He tried to suspend the upcoming
presidential elections, but failed. This was his only hope to stay in power, to
be a dictator for life. If Obama was a computer program, he would be an
unrecoverable error for the American People.
Note to Obamanites:
The party is over! The fighting in the streets worsened. The shedding of blood,
death, and the cries of the afflicted was everywhere. The police first used
water cannons without success on the rioters. The riots grew in intensity.
Embattled police were forced to use tear gas, rubber bullets and soon fearing
for their lives, real bullets. Many police and rioters were injured or worst.
The rioters were beyond control. The rioters seemed not to fear death. Maybe it
was the influence of drugs, alcohol or the mob mentality. Those who mistakenly
believed in Black Liberation Many conservatives voiced the prediction of
economic doom for many years if America did not drastically reduce government
spending and the massive budget deficits. President George W. Bush did his part
to move America to an economic tipping point, spending without control and a
lax casual attitude towards illegal immigration. The only good about a moderate
Republican, is that are not as bad as a progressive. President Obama in his
effort to remake an “unjust Country” accelerated the largest annual deficit
spending of his predecessor by 4 times to 1.9 trillion for the fiscal budget
year of 2010. Most of the reckless spending from the stimulus plan, auto union
and Wall Street bailouts were poorly planned and executed. The auto union in
the GM and Chrysler bailouts got the goldmine and we got the shaft. The
majority of the politicians, who voted for these bills, never read, understood
or cared of which they voted. They only voted to appease Pelosi, Reed and “The
One”. By yielding their political power, they were good little progressives. The
growing opposition of the American People to the out of control federal
spending came too late and would not deter Obama’s reckless spending. Towards
the end he was forced to reduce spending. He desperately needed bailout loans
from the World Bank. These loans came with restrictive financial strings. The
World Bank dictated financial policy for the country. All spending by the
federal government must be cut by 25% across the board and taxes increased.
This also included the salaries and benefits of all government workers, those
on Social Security and all entitlement programs. The government employee union
bosses called for a strike. Other union organizers sent their members out to
protest. The Takers started to riot. They said: “We worked for our money, you
ain’t taking it away”. Rioters overturned vehicles, broke store windows and
went on a “shopping spree”. Murder and mayhem spread throughout the cities.
Black Liberation
Theology members(Louie Farrakhan) was
leaders of the riots. They could multi-task being a community agitator while
still searching for the “Promised Land”.
