This is huge. If the Republican Guards are defecting, it could be all over for the regime.

As usual the top level "insiders" have access to news from the "outside" and act sensibly ~ here the Guard guys know that the blather over nukes in Iran can mean only one thing ~ that Israeli submarines carrying nuclear tripped missiles are going to avenge whatever it is the Ayatollahs are up to, and that means they are all dead, as are their families, their friends, everyone they ever knew ~ just gone in thermonuclear flashover.

Before this is over the Israeli Army is going to be cooking Khomenei's skull in a trash fire amid the ruins of Qom.

The fraudulent government in Iran has lost all legitimacy.
Everyone knows the vote was rigged, and by backing the results, the Ayatollahs have exposed themselves as the puppetmasters they are. It seems the uprising may be approaching critical mass.

We should all give up any hope of 0bama making a statement about the situation in Iran until after it is resolved, one way or another. Our pResident is paralysed by indecision and uncertainty. His priority is with being on the side of the winners, not with the just.
