It’s over for the Iranian people. President Hussein Obama has thrown the Iranian people under the bus. As a Progressive he can’t turn on a regime that many in The American Left love and admire. It is a dark day when America supports tyrants over people. The Iranian people will never forgive us for this. They needed our moral support and our government back stabbed them.
Obama: Iran supreme leader worried about election
President Barack Obama says he believes supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has deep concerns about the civil unrest that has followed the hotly contested presidential election there.
Obama repeated Tuesday at a news conference his “deep ir own, concerns” about the disputed balloting. He said he believes the ayatollah’s decision to order an investigation “indicates he understands the Iranian people have deep concerns.”
The Progressives always stand by the Islamo-Fascists. Next time a Leftist says they are for “power to the people”, remind them how they were against power to the Iranian people. I am ashamed to be an American after this. The Iranian people are on their own, God Help them.

It’s sickening. If the Iranian people’s hopes are crushed, they will never forgive us.

re: #2 by Rodan
A lot of Americans are feeling crushed too.
The ayatollah has decided to investigate the election and Obama approves. I don’t see the problem.
Meh, to be honest, there is nothing that Obama could have really done. Whoever ends up winning, the President has to deal with.
I don’t expect much from the ‘investigation’ of course, but I also can’t think of anything else that we could have done.
We all know the elections were fradulent, and this may lead to another set of elections. But that doesn’t mean that President Fonz will lose. If we take too hard of a stance against him, it will turn out poorly for any efforts to try and talk with them.
Now, granted, talking will do nothing, but with a Democrat Congress and Administration, talking is all we’ve got.
re: #6 by song_and_dance_man
Yup, besides, the United States doesn’t really have a right to invade or anything. It is an election held in another country. We have no business doing anything more than commenting on it.
Back in the 70’s it was students that caused the islamic revolution and the ousting of the Shah. It could very well come down to students revolting again this time. What they need is the military on their side – maybe….
re: #9 by vapig
Read somewhere that the regular army is unwilling to attack citizens, its the Revolutionary Guard and paramilitaries who are thugs.
re: #8 by LanceKates
My point was that back in the Cold War, Reagan openly supported the dissidents in Communist nations. Obama should not be openly supporting the Iranian regime. If anything Iran should be isolated even more.
I also wanted to point out Leftist hypocrisy.
re: #11 by Rodan
Oh, there you and I agree.
There just isn’t anything that we can really….. do.
I’ll tell you though, neither one who wins will do anything great to help us.
Iranian people are on their own…
as are we, Patriots. As, are, we.
As for election boondoggles…where is that leader of fair elections – that great hero of the people of socialist elections…
where oh where is JIMMAH CAHTAR?
pffttt…..i despise liberals.
re: #2 by Rodan
Hopefully they will never forgive OBAMA!! to those Iranians seeking liberty and democracy, we (those who didn’t vote for Obama) stand with YOU!!!! And to those who voted for Obama, I hope you’re happy now. I hold every single one of you responsible for putting this lack-of-a-leader Socialist in power. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE!!!
Some people have questions about Mousavi’s politics and if he is a hardliner or not. I remember Boris Yeltsin being in the same position and responding well. Or as well as possible given the Soviet system. Who knows? If democracy comes to Iran you have to believe they saw the purple fingers in Iraq.
re: #11 by Rodan
That makes sense, but the point of your outrage was not apparent from the Entry. Still, Obama is siding with the Iranian regime in a thing that they probably don’t want to do, and in a sense is showing support for the protesters by supporting the investigation.
re: #16 by song_and_dance_man
We shouldn’t deal with that regime. I say just isolate and destabilize them. Hey we get involved in Israel’s business.
re: #17 by Rodan
I agree with that. If anything Obama should be denouncing their radical idealism and threats against Israel.
re: #7 by LanceKates
If nothing else, he could have condemned the violence without supporting anyone.
Well, the election was Thug A vs Thug B and there is really not much the US can do.
However the point was made that a lttle verbal support for the protestors may well have been in order here!

re: #20 by OldDog
I think Mousavi is the lesser of the two evils FOR NOW, and we have to support the Iranians “exercise” of a free election, and that’s where Obama is failing miserably. I hope the most important point doesn’t get lost in the argument of “who is the better candidate”, but rather the argument should always be “Was it a free and fair election? And has the will of the people been done?”

This Mousavi character that we’re all supposed to be cheering for was Iran’s prime minister under the Ayatollah Khomeini in the 1980s. This was when Iran was even more of a hardline Islamic state than it is today. It was also when the Iran-Iraq war was in full swing, and a favourite Iranian tactic was sending unarmed teenage boys swarming into Iraqi minefields before the regular army advanced. Also Mousavi seems to be just as enthusiastic about acquiring nukes as Ahmadinajad. And the unelected Mullahs, unchallenged by any so-called reformers, will still run the entire show no matter who wins.
The Washington Post claims that polling they did before this election showed that Ahmadinajad was headed for a crushing victory, even more lopsided than the final results turned out to be.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/14/AR2009061401757.html
So at the very least let’s not claim that the Iranian people are our friends, oppressed by an unrepresentative leadership. They’ve supported this virulently anti-Semitic, anti-American and anti-Western regime for the past 30 years because, on the whole, they hate Jews, Americans and Westerners.
GOP gets behind Iran protesters
“Virtually all the pressure on the White House — from Obama’s own base to John McCain — is on the side of sympathy with Iran’s protesters, with the only remaining question being how best to express it.
Here comes another push from the right: Conservative Rep. Mike Pence is introducing a resolution supporting Iran’s “dissidents” and seeking to pull congressional Democrats into more open support for the protesters than the administration feels able to voice.
From Pence’s speech on the floor:”

re: #34 by jeppo
I disagree with your sweeping assertion that “on the whole” all Iranians hate Americans. As this documentary shows, it IS the young people who are hungry for democratic change and the freedoms that Americans enjoy, and some even seek a relationship with Americans.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIydMMN8jAQ
There is an incremental change happening there, but a monumental one all the same. And even though the differences between the 2 candidates is slim to none, it is the will to fight for freedom on behalf of many who simply want their voices to count(whether we agree with their choice or not) that must be applauded and supported. It is a small but critical step in future relations with Iran for America, and must be encouraged. These are the people (young Iranians) who we will hopefully be able to deal with rationally down the road.
re: #36 by tuffy
“On the whole” is supposed to mean the Iranian people in general or a majority of them, not ALL Iranians. As for the young people of Iran being hungry for democratic change and the freedoms that Americans enjoy….this is from the Washington Post article linked above:
“Much commentary has portrayed Iranian youth and the Internet as harbingers of change in this election. But our poll found that only a third of Iranians even have access to the Internet, while 18-to-24-year-olds comprised the strongest voting bloc for Ahmadinejad of all age groups.
The only demographic groups in which our survey found Mousavi leading or competitive with Ahmadinejad were university students and graduates, and the highest-income Iranians. When our poll was taken, almost a third of Iranians were also still undecided. Yet the baseline distributions we found then mirror the results reported by the Iranian authorities, indicating the possibility that the vote is not the product of widespread fraud.”
So the 18-to-24-year-old youths of Iran are actually Ahmadinejad’s biggest supporters. University students and graduates and the highest-income Iranians (i.e. the Iranian elite) are the only group that supported Mousavi.
Hi all. Quick question, does Fordman post here by chance? Just came back from a business dinner that affirmed pretty much what he has written about over the years.
re: #38 by Buckeye Abroad
If he does its not under the Fjordman nic.
re: #37 by jeppo
But that doesn’t make sense. The 18-24 year olds are the very people who are trying to shun the religious right’s oppression regarding freedom of expression. At this point, I don’t trust any polls taken there. Who’s to say they’re accurate?? What impresses me right now is these people who are risking life and limb just to have their vote counted. That is my dog in the fight right now. I think it’s extremely important to see the value in people demanding a fair election.
Ah. Just spoke to a colleague who had to leave Holland with his family incognito because he upset the “youths” in the community by confronting those who beat up his son. After a mob showed up at his home, vandalized his house and threatened to murder his family in the process the police told him unless they actually “murder you and your family”, there is little they could actually do. He has resettled somewhere else in Eurabia now.
True story.
BTW- A woman resembling his wife was ran over with a car by one of the thugs in the community immediatedly after that.

re: #41 by Buckeye Abroad
Oh that’s nice! Were the “thugs” (I’m assuming they were of the islamic persuasion?) arrested for this poor woman’s murder – or are they going to call it an “accident”?
re: #42 by vapig
They must have been “Asian” youths
re: #40 by tuffy
Well, I suppose we should take any poll with a grain of salt, but the Post makes a pretty good case for the accuracy of their poll by pointing out that it closely matched the election results announced by the Iranian government. Maybe this whole election fraud thing is completely overblown and Ahmadinejad did in fact win a sweeping victory. It wouldn’t be the first time that the Iranian people voted overwhelmingly for Mad Jad.

I asked the same question. Yes they were muslims and the poor woman ran over was considered an accident– the police made the connection but could not prove it. BTW- He told me a murder charge in Holland will only get you 6 years on average.

May God bless those that are doing Gods work, helping to make men free. We can all pontificate on what to do here. We can bomb the hell out of Iran true but to have people find there own freedom just as we did more than 200 years ago will go a long way to bring Iran into the 20th century with hope for the future. I know many people that use to live in Iran and they are praying to Alla h (God) that the Liberty bell will ring for them also. And if that doesn’t work kick the crap out of them!!!
Oh come on -don’t be ashamed to be an American! President Hussein sure isn’t! But then, he isn’t an American, now is he?
Obama has played his hand poorly. Why am I not surprised. now ‘Teh One’ is having to fall back to Plan B and hope against hope that Khamenei will modify some of the harsher policies of a now extremely powerful Iranian President Ahmadinejad.
As expected Obambi has been measured and found wanting. AGAIN!
The world now enters an age of extreme danger with an American President who gets a ‘F’ in International Affairs at a time when nuclear proliferation is about to explode. (pardon the pun!)
