Reliable sources report bomb blast at Khomeini's tomb. Report of at least one killed.
As I see it - my opinion only, it is better at this point for U.S. to pretty much stay silent and leave it to the Iranians. BAck channel com is another story. There I would hope we are busy. Too much of US gives the enemy a whip to gin up opposition to the reformers.
As for the Tiller thing - side issue and Obama was way way out of line on that.
When that 3:00 a.m. call comes in, Obama lets it go to voicemail every time.
Obama’s standing aloof is being spun in the media as masterful handling, but the reality he’s doing nothing either because he hasn’t got a clue, or because he supports Ahmedinejad but dares not say so openly.
You don't seriously think he cares do you?
I know you think I’m in front of this screen laffing at this.
No I’m not.
Oh no I’m not.
snort....
Nope. that was just a cough.
It was comical last weekend watching the MSM trying to figure out how to spin the Iran story because they were getting nothing from the White House.
Report just stated on Fox News that “state media” are now also reporting the bomb blast at tomb....
“We have been waiting for this opportunity for 30 years and he is blowing it!!”
Obama - Whats this we stuff, cracker?
I fear this is a preview of our upcoming “elections.”
"Democracy=freedom!"
"Democracy=freedom!"
"Democracy=freedom!"
"Uhhh, umm...democracy!"
I am a soldier's wife. Three times my husband has gone to Kuwait and Iraq and each time I supported him and the cause he was fighting for.
Because of the democrats' stance on the war, because of the protests, because they embolden our enemies and get our soldiers killed - I HATE THEM. Every time one of these weasels opens their mouths, they put our service members at risk - people like my husband and our friends. These are wives, husbands, fathers, sons, daughters - *people* for G-ds-sake. These traitors are in power and the enemies of America know they are weak.
Now I'm nervous. I'm seriously worried about him fighting *another* war with this man as CIC. You can't fight a war with half-measures or half a heart. You go in to win or you have a mess and lots of dead troops.
I am very concerned that if we go to war with Korea or to overthrow the Iranian regime, that we're going to suffer heavy losses with this leadership. Don't get me wrong, our guys aren't cowards and they'll do anything they're asked to do, but the Dems will send them in with their hands tied and hobbled then ask the impossible. (Think about Somalia. That was a very bad day for us.)
For the first time in my life, I'm with Ron Paul on this issue. I'd love to support freedom all over this world, but I want to do it effectively and well. Thugs sense weakness in this president and they'll take it out on out troops. This president *is* weak and he'll keep our brave men and women from being as effective as they could be. I don't trust O with my husband's life. We're stretched thin both militarily and financially and I don't think we can do this right with this CIC.
Yeah! Now we’re talking! Get rid of that thing!
Of course, that is the spin coming from the WH and the press..but I don’t buy it frankly. The mullahs are blaming America anyway!
There are millions of people in the streets that want freedom from this oppresive regime. When you have millions of Iranians shouting ‘Death To The Mullahs’ instead of ‘Death To America’...the time is ripe. This is the Iranian ‘awakening’ and Obama is asleep at the switch. I would not be a bit surprised if Obama hasn’t pulled our CIA out of there completely at this point. It seems clear that Obama would rather Iran stay in the hands of the mullahs and Ahmanutjob.
Post of the day, so far!
I’ll take a stab at it too....
....what the hell would be wrong with Obama uttering a TRUTH? Like...well hell yeah, I’LL write it for him...
.....”America is a country built on an ingrained concept that all people are created equal. Through the years America has grown and prospered, all because of a citizenry that is free to pursue its own happiness with basic freedoms of life guaranteed via our constitution and Bill or Rights.
Thus our country will always champion the cause of any foreign citizenry that is struggling to gain or insure their freedoms, including their freedom to fairly pick their own leaders.
It would do Iran well in the court of world opinion for its leaders to conduct a very transparent recount of its most recent election. I understand there is no law requiring Iranian leadership to do so but as the duly elected leader of a free country I encourage such an action on the part of Iran, indeed will help with such an endeavor if requested.”
What would be wrong with a simple, noncommittal of the truth? How the hell is a bad thing? Do we believe in the free will of the citizenry or not?
The Iranian Mullahs can ignore such a plea...or not. Obama wouldn’t be committing America to any kind of invasion or intervention, nor should he.
But a simple statement of truth....jeesh...it ain’t rocket science.
Amen sister. This guy (obummer) is a tyrannt himself. I think his admin is going to implode though...we here in the US are a bubbling cauldron and things in Iran are a preview of what’s to come here, IMVHO.
No...sadly, I don’t think Obama cares.
