President Announces Support for Iranian ProtestersPresident Bush, I mean, in 2003. I believe that some day freedom will prevail everywhere, because freedom is a powerful drive for people to… and it’s the beginnings of people expressing themselves toward a free Iran, which I think is positive." Very good point made in The Nation (though I'm linking Hot Air, which quotes it). Obama was sold to us as having Absolute Moral Authority on hope and change and peace and love. He had much greater moral suasion that Bush, we were told. The world hated Bush, but loves Obama. Ergo, Obama would be able to make the compelling case for freedom and peace that Bush never could, even though he tried. Ya been had. Bamboozed. Run amok. Because Obama is using that Absolute Moral Authority to protect his precious debating partners. And it's noticed. Mousavi's own spokesman to Obama: Stop saying we're just like Ahmadinejad. A good round-up of Iran news at the Berman Post. The post concludes with this cartoon: That's from the Dry Bones Blog, which posts a cartoon every day. And speaking of Ron Paul: Only one Congressman voted against a resolution condemning the regime for its violence and repression, and that of course was The Only Man Who Can Save America (Ron Paul!!11!1!eleventy!). The only two politicians in America who believe that the Iranian regime should not be condemned are, then, Ron Paul (Ron Paul!!! and Barack Hussein Obama. White House Spokesretard Gibbs claimed the resolution's language was "very consistent" with Obama's-- but as Jennifer Rubin notes in the above-linked post, that's a, what's the word, lie. Barack Obama specifically refused to condemn the regime. He specifically, out of his own mouth, considered that word and then dismissed it. Further, Obama's support for the protesters extremely limited -- he supports their right to protest for a while, then give up and buckle under the mullahs with few getting hurt but nothing at all being changed. Which is exactly the same level of support Khamenei and the mullahs show for the protesters, too. They too want this to end relatively bloodlessly, but with their fraudulent election winning and their power undiminished. “When Ronald Reagan went before the Brandenburg Gate, he did not say ‘Mr. Gorbachev, that wall is none of our business,’” said Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind. Even Obama SuperFan David Ignatius at the WaPo finds Obama wanting: President Obama was right to speak carefully about the events in Iran during the first week of protest. But it's time for him to express his solidarity with the Iranians who are so bravely taking to the streets each day. He can do that without seeming to meddle if he chooses his words wisely. On the other hand there's David Brooks (link to Commentary). He is, of course, reassuring us all once again that Obama is much smarter than we can even begin to contemplate and that there is great wisdom and innovation in his domestic agenda and his Iranian cowardice. Jennifer Rubin doesn't buy Brooks' go-to "he's just too brilliant for you to even understand how brilliant he is" spin: There is of course another explanation: he’s a radical liberal on domestic policy and a Chas Freeman “realist” on foreign policy (e.g. hostile toward Israel, unconcerned with human rights, contemptuous of the idea of American exceptionalism). That isn’t the image he spun for the elite punditocracy during the campaign but it sure explains his actions since taking office. Oddly enough, Charles Krauthammer agrees with David Brooks, and writes that Obama is handling this "nearly perfectly," likening him to the "calm and clear eye of the storm, around which the maelstrom swirls." Kidding. He slashes him to bloody ribbons. Millions of Iranians take to the streets to defy a theocratic dictatorship that, among its other finer qualities, is a self-declared enemy of America and the tolerance and liberties it represents. The demonstrators are fighting on their own, but they await just a word that America is on their side. Getting your face beaten in by foreign thugs imported by your tyrannical masters = dialogue; tyrant = Supreme Leader.
Can't Stop the Signal: Good for the BBC. The Iranian tyranny is jamming the satellite they usually use to broadcast into Iran, so they're enlisting two more satellites to beam their coverage in. The BBC, bastion of the left, is "meddling" more in Iran than Obama. Must have been taken over by neocons or somethin'. | Recent Comments
