> The questions they’re answering is WTH hasn’t Obama said ANYTHING about this?

We won’t hear anything out of him until a winner starts coming out of this.

“it wouldn’t surprise me if we had covert operatives there, helping to stir up the protests, in hopes of dislodging I’manutjob & mullah rule.”

Not this administration. No how, no way. Covert ops are for internal use only.

Unless the people rise up. I tell you, I haven’t felt this sort of amazing hope since the Berlin Wall fell. God bless and help the people of Iran during this pivotal time!

Sorry, but I feel this will be more like Tiananmen Square than Berlin Wall!

The One will ask:
1. that the Mullah’s allow “peaceful” protest and “vigorous debate”.
2. for “restraint” on both sides as the “Iranian youth expresses itself”
In other words, 0bama will, once again, vote Present.

They shouted while I waved my hand and said "Canadian" to no effect.

For once I would have to agree with O. The best way to squelch any positive movement within Iran would be for it to be seen a product of America. We also need to gag Biden so he doesn't stupidly claim this a result of the O. The news babblers are bad enough with their odes to the O.

I think you are mistaken, and here is why: 1) this has been brewing for a long time now, and 2) Khameni just folded on investigating the election. The people now know that the despots are truly frightened of their power.

FOX just showed video of demonstration (thousands upon thousands) in Tehran and Mousavi was there- right in the middle of it. Wonder how good his security is?

Obummer’s apology tour strategy will get credit for anything good that comes of this.

Bush will get blamed for the bad, due to his Iraq policy and cowboy diplomacy ‘destabilizing’ the situation.

This will only strengthen the appeasers.

I’ve no idea. Over the years, it seems we’ve had a few drop by, but I don’t know if they’re on now.
