Reliable sources report bomb blast at Khomeini's tomb. Report of at least one killed.

On the job training....

Hopefully A-jad will end up like this brutal tyrant of recent memory. Sounds like the freedom-fighters realize that the time for holding signs is past, as signs don't persuade brutal thugs.

[backspace]

Has BHO even commented on the situation today?

::: I think he's a little busy this morning :::

Latest News: Reports Show That Special Forces Are Running Away From People In “Sattarkhan” And “Saadatabad” Roads.
Mir Hossein Mousavi Is Present At “Jeyhoon Street” And Has Advised People That: “I Am Ready To Be Martyred, If They Arrest Me, Please Go On Strike From Your Jobs”

From Mousavi facebook

Several reports say that Hamas and Hezbollah are taking part in suppressing the demonstrations. This reminds me of the revolution in Romania 1989. There were many stories about how palestinian forces had taken sides with Seuritate, the Romanian secret police. However, once the dictator was ousted and executed all those stories just disappeared.

No, I don't think they were false. It was well known that the pali terror groups were receiving money and training in Romania, but those stories jsut didn't fit very well with the general policy of our MSM....

[ScaniaBoy]

Thanks for the reminder. I thought about him too...see #245.

[Deo volente]

if he maintains the invitation to the Iranian ambasssadors (represetning the bloody regime) and don’t say anything more forceful than “I’m concerned...eh..very ...eh...concerned” I think even the MSM will find it difficult to shill for him.

I don't know. Brian's really got eyes for Barry. It's going to be hard to turn him around to reality.

[Windflier]

Do you think that the Moussavi supporters want to get rid of the mullahs?

You've got to be kidding me. You're not really asking that question with sincerity, are you?

[3catsanadog]

Hopefully his Joint Chiefs of Staff are advising him accordingly and won't be caught with their pants down.

And they better make sure they address him as "President" every time they talk to him and 86 the term "sir" because he worked hard to get where he is and he won't put up with any disrespect.

Initially they may not have wanted that, but now I don’t think there is any question about it. There have been cries of “death to Khameni” on the streets today...

Obama has no intentions of helping the Iranian people. He wants the current regime to stay in power. Tyrants stick together.

"I am beginning to really wonder what he is thinking? "

Alihu Akbar!

[Son House]

Yep, probably had all their terrorist allies brought in recently, after realizing how much the folks wanted their freedom

[Drill Thrawl]

0 is kowtowing because he is a worthless POS. He does not stand for freedom or demacracy. America used to lead the world in the defense of freedom. Now Europe is taking the lead. That is just beyond sad. I am disgusted with our current poor excuse of a president.

[STARWISE]

Didja hear what 0bozo said last night?

Said he was tossing and turning for days, worried about what he was going to say at the correspondents’ dinner last night, and he rolled over and asked Brian Williams what he thought.

GAAAAAAG!

[penelopesire]

Hell....Obama is even inviting the Iranian dictators to hotdogs on the 4th of July for cryin out loud!!

(I am posting this in many threads today hoping that maybe someone in the media will take note of what an idiotic pantywaist president we have in the US now)

A New Iran Overture, With Hot Dogs

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2262690/posts

(snip)

“The authorization to issue the invitations was disclosed by a senior State Department official on the eve of a three-day visit to Latin America by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the new policy was not public.”

Instead of supporting the revolution to throw off the mullahs in Iran, Obama is inviting them all to celebrate OUR freedom with hotdogs!! If that isn’t a slap in the face to everything America holds dear..I don’t know what is!

[TLEIBY308]

Hey Obama are you watching this,well are you punk.See what happens when you go too far and piss off the people punk.

[Windflier]

Mr. Gorbachev, I have no comment about that wall.

Good one.

Alternate: "Mr. Gorbachev, I am deeply concerned about that wall."
