Bottom line, demand a re-count in Iran and you will just never be seen or heard from again.
Protesters risk their lives for their beliefs but should run to Iraq for Freedom.

40 Million paper ballots counted in less than 12 hours? Nope, no way.

Not to worry. The IDF will deal with the outcome while Obama votes “present”.

Excuse me folks, but just before the election Obama elated that there was vigorous debate going on in Iran and that there was a “possibility” of change. He referred to his Cairo speech and his “victory” in Lebanon. He was setting himself up to take credit for a “reformist” result. Thus, he took sides and the Mullahs predictably decided that Obama was not going to get credit for anything that went on in Iran and the rest is history. Sadly, Obama failed miserably and shares a great deal of blame for the theft of the election. He doesn’t want to tell other countries how to conduct themselves unless he can get the credit. Hold onto your seats folks, the Middle East is getting ready for an accelerating boil and it ain’t going to be pretty.

@eaglewingz08: I agree that there isn’t all that much difference between Amadjihad and Mousavi. But knocking down the Mullah’s first choice for President may open the door to further change.

It is possible that the right set of circumstances could even toppling the entire theocratic structure.

That has been the goal of U.S. policy for decades and this is the best opportunity we have to push for progress.

I’m sure Obama’s troubled, he has to make a choice between evil and lesser evil but to him all evils are the same, they are good and lesser good. He actually has to weigh the potential harm from picking the wrong candidate as the winner and deserving of support on the upcoming negotiations without preconditions. All the world’s dictators have looked for where the American President is during a time of civil unrest and possible civil war and find that he has betrayed the trust of the American people and the world. Troubling is a phrase you use when your children engage in mischief. The acts of the iranian regime’s repression and brutalization of its people are beyond the pale. It’s no wonder the students feel they are alone. The man who should be making common cause with them is in fetal position sucking his thumb. He got the three am telephone call and both Hillary and Obama have been asleep at the switch. Tomorrow is a general strike in Iran, and we hope that the oil workers take part in it as well. Cut off the money and the regime will topple. I just wish the blood spilled was for a better candidate than Mousavi. It’s sort of like spilling precious blood for Brezhnev. But when the choice is Kruschev v. Brezhnev you have to go with the lesser of two lessers in the hopes that the country will drag along the leadership no matter how reluctantly.

Obama said “It would be wrong for me to be silent on what we’ve seen on the television the last few days.”

I’m sure that was a real relief to the demonstrators. Couldn’t the teleprompter just accidentally load a few of Bush’s speeches on the subject?

@herman:

Great Herman….that’s a news piece from today…. 36 minutes ago.

How many days ago were the elections in Iran?

How many days ago did the violence start?

Exit question:

How many people have been shot or beaten to death during the time period that Obie was unavailable for comment?

Bonus question:

Why is it that Obie only feels the need to speak up after the public outcry and polling results start to come in?

You’re asking why the President of the United States does not appear in photographs of post-election riots in Iran.

Michael,

The only person who is conflating the pictures from Iran and the unknown whereabouts of Obie is you.

Obie’s silence on the events in Iran, which was Mike’s point, remains both relevant and unaddressed.
