“The thug that killed her had the blessing of the Supreme” Clinton.

Yup! That sounds like Lon Horiuchi. He likes them with a baby in their arms.

Private media are running rings around broadcast outlets funded by America and Israel to challenge Iran. The uprising in Iran has become an international sensation through the global reach of digital information technology. Youtube, Twitter, Facebook and e-mail have allowed the protesters to communicate directly to the world, bypassing feckless regime attempts to suppress journalists. The rawness of the videos and the frankness of the tweets allow observers to experience the events viscerally. The impact is powerful.

Exactly why Obama and the democrats will soon be attempting to control and silence descent the Internet.

The Mullahs are apocalyptic.

Communists want to live.

Islamic nuts want to Martyr themselves.

Our country, if common sense remains in her, will remember President George W. Bush as an honorable man, unlike the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Um... What about MAD?

In this case, MAD is not mutually assured destruction. With one warhead, Iran could wipe out Tel Aviv, effectively ending modern Israel. Iran on the other hand is a huge target. They could take a hundred nukes and still be a nation.

This Obama person is the biggest coward I've ever seen.

He's worse than a coward - he is, I am 100 percent convinced now, a narcissist. You better believe it! Jim Jones had nothing on this guy!

There's a reply to that thought....

Word, through diplomatic, military or behind the scenes type channels, must stress the following:

The moment - see that? moment - Iran launches towards Tel Aviv, Tehran and Damascus cease to exist. We don't need the whole countries, just the prime targets.

Should this folly continue, since the aim is extermination of the Israeli state, Mecca and Medina become glass parking lots.

Arab Street outrage? So what? They're actively trying to “wipe Israel off the map”! What's the consequence for Israel?

Of course, should this type of scenario unfold, it would be most difficult to contain it to the local participants. In fact, things would get quite dicey very fast, and it would only be a question of how rapidly things unravel.

Let's pray, huh? that this type of thing never comes to pass.

CA....

OKAY guys, here’s some original thought:

I asked myself why didn’t this happen under Bush’s watch so conservatives could rightly take credit for the Iranian youth uprising???

After all, Bush set an example of democracy next door in Iraq and encouraged uprisings undercover, no doubt. This technically should be all due to Bush.

However, what I realized is that both the Israelis and Iranians have concluded that Obama is a coward who won’t stand up for EITHER Israel or the Iranian Greens.

Both sides of the Iran/Israel conflict have realized that if they want to win, they have to go it alone. The students & youth don’t want conflict with Israel, so they now know they must cause change because “Apology Tour Obama” won’t.

AND THAT’s why we’re seeing the masses of youth in the streets of Tehran!

They realize they’re on their own because Obama and his U.N. stooges aren’t going to do jack to confront Amadinejad. They also know that if they don’t cause change, Israel also knows it’s now on its own and plans devastating strikes on Iran. All the more reason for the people of Iran to get pissed at the Mullahs for endangering Iran and its citizens.

So in summary, the Greens Revolution is occurring because they know their future is in their hands, now that Bush is gone.

In Cairo, Obama greenlighted A-jad’s crackdown by assuring Mideast dictators that condemnation of human rights violations would be more muted than in the past.

This President, who runs to the TV cameras more often than he goes to the bathroom, doesn’t bother to condemn the tyranny in Iraq in his own voice, prefering to back-channel his minor irritation through an aide’s written press release.

I’m embarrassed for my country.

I’m not embarrassed, I am ANGRY and FED UP already over the lies and narcissism of the 44th President. The stupid sheeple who voted for this loser are making us ALL pay for their STUPIDITY! Atleast Israel picked a winner in Netinyahu as they are most certainly on their own with our President being a closet Muslim!

Thank you, Jaguar. I'll watch it in the morning when I'm on my laptop. I'm pecking away on my CrackBerry--can't run videos on it.

Bump.

I would bet dollars to doughnuts that Israel has made their massive nuclear targeting of Mecca and Medina extremely well known to all Islamic countries, as well as the rest of the world.

Obama already undone that strategy himself by making that meaningless speech in Cairo, congratulating President Tom on the re-election, having cheeseburgers with mediots like Brian Williams, and liberal mediots on TV are crowing about how Obama is to be looked at for guidance on Iran. He ain't interested. His far left domestic and appeasing foreign policies and his silence on both North Korea and Iran should be a hint to anyone with a modicum of common sense. Obama's too busy trashing this countries economy while he's here and too busy trashing this country while he's on foreign soil. These left winged chuckleheads in the media better get used to it, they elected a foreign policy lightweight, who ain't got the guts to do the right thing.

FWIW, Obama squandered any opportunity at a legacy on Iran or North Korea.  He's seen as weak, arrogant and stupid abroad.

How did such a coward become President?

Idiots in this country have the right to vote too.

Obama is a guy who himself is more popular than his own policies.  He's nothing more than an American Idol contestant.

Can't wait to hear all that phony platudinous rhetoric coming out of his mouth at his press conference on Tuesday.
