Now, just to clarify here – the total reason the Supreme Leader “clears” candidates is to ensure they are “qualified” to serve the best interests of the Islamic Republic – in accordance with their Constitution.

This election is no different than any election held in Iran over the last 30 years.

This is like a fight between Hitler and Himmler over whether to use leaded or unleaded gas to burn down the Reichstag. It’s a really stupid argument amongst the Iranians until the opposition is willing to oust the Islamic Republic.

Since they aren’t – we should keep our powder dry and relish in the fact that they brought these idiots to power by their own hand. Revolutions Have Consequences.

Michael Totten on Obama getting all mushy on Iran at the very moment steel is needed. Understand the mind of a totalitarian. “Probe with a bayonet,” Vladimir Lenin famously said. “If you meet steel, stop. If you meet mush, then……

Those days are past.

I mourn the death of our great nation every day. We are no longer the good guys. We will talk to and negotiate directly with evil. We will promote eveil by the simple fact of recognizing its legitimacy.

It makes me sad, four our country and the world at large.

We are being systematically destroyed here… and there are no more defenders of America.

Presumably the thinking here is that public outrage in Iran will weaken the mullahs’ hand against the U.S. and force them to accept some grand bargain, in which case Obama’s basically offering them legitimacy in exchange for denuclearization. — Allah

What better way to anger the Iranian people than to fail to support them, in this, their hour of need, due to fear of our actions being perceived as another “Moussadeg coup” ala 1963 by the CIA. Because, as we all know the US is guilty of mortal sins by trying to help a pro-Western leader (the Shah) advance his country, and deserved all the hatred and bombings and terrorism directed at it since 1979 by the Iranian government because of that support for the Shah. So, since we are so guilty of these sins (which I certainly do not believe), we must never interfere in the internal politics of another country, even when their people are now being suppressed brutally, oppressed for decades, and dissent is crushed by those with the guns and batons simply because they wish to, while we stand by idly and do nothing to support people who the left always claims would stop hating us if we would stop meddling. We shall never intervene in oppression and genocide, etc….., unless the people we would be rescuing would hate us for it afterwards (like the Bosnians, Kosovars, Darfurians, Europeans, etc…).

These poor Iranian people, (whom the President just told in his own speech to them that he supported them and their peaceful coexistence with our country, but wished their regime would cooperate), had better pull their heads out of their asses and submit to their Masters in clerics robes. Because the Lord knows how much they will truly love us when we abandon them to the clubs and rifles of the illegitimate (since 1979) Khomeinist Iranian regime in their time of desperate need. /sarc

My open letter follows:

Dear Iranian people,

Since you were pissed off (becoming terrorists, thumbing your noses at us constantly, telling us to butt out of your business, etc….) that we tried to provide you with a better ruler in ‘63, don’t be surprised that we don’t give two sh*ts on whether you are happy now or not. Payback’s a bitch, ain’t it? Fix your own problems and quit asking us to do so for you, and we won’t be upset when you stop terrorizing our country and every other one in the Middle East as well. Assh*les. You reap what you sow. You aren’t the only folks with long memories of injustices done by you against us.

THERE FIXED IT FOR YA….

Here is a glimpse of what is took place in Iran today, two days after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s alleged victory over Mir Hossein Mousavi. For some background, read Allahpundit’s comments here, here, and here….

Take a look at how Fox News only reports on the dictator’s talking points.

Fox News is largely controlled by our dear leader, the king of Saudi Arabia.

Screw them.

This doesn’t even make sense. If Fox News (didn’t you mean Faux News) was controlled by the Saudi’s, why exactly would they want to promote the leaders of Iran?

Well then, can you explain why Fox News and the rest are doing all they can to avoid the subject?

The White House is playing it cool lest U.S. support for Mousavi discredit his supporters but U.S. analysts have little doubt

“Cool”

Yep. Surely the coolest since Steve McQueen. Could’ve been a Rat Packer had he been born sooner.

He’ll fire up the teleprompters and apologize for the U.S. support for the Shah of Iran, because after all, this is all our fault.
