The Obama administration has to support a peaceful regime change in Iran or it will have to face a nuclear armed criminal gang.

Booger| 9.2.10 @ 11:27PM

The Obama administration IS a nuclear armed criminal gang. Not the U.S. military, mind you, just Obama, his pet DOJ, Hilary, etc.

While I agree with you Winston. That's what they SHOULD do. I'd like to remind you not to hold your breath. After all, they did nothing while the video of a young lady shot in the chest & bleeding out on the street made its way around the world.

"President Obama remains shamefully silent..."
I wonder if Mahmood Ahminadinnerjacket is worried that he might be Obama and the Dems October surprise. Any thoughts?

Mike Rogers| 9.3.10 @ 8:09AM

Like the "dinnerjacket" moniker - I've used something similar. Now, can we change him into "OhMyStraightJacket"?

Mad Hatter| 9.2.10 @ 6:53PM

That's because Obama doesn't divide the world into Quds & Qud-nots, but into Haves & Have-nots. Obama is not for the Iranian Greens, just for the Americans Green with class envy.
But the envious see him in Martha's Vineyard, where the Grapes of Their Wrath are stored...

Mike Rogers| 9.3.10 @ 8:12AM

And he's for the golf greens, at least for those pigs which are more equal than others!
Nice headline in the Boston Herald lately "Obama, Teeing off America, one Sunday at a time"!
Sly thought - can some pigs be more equal than others if you're a Muslim?

"The Obama administration has to support a peaceful regime change in Iran or it will have to face a nuclear armed criminal gang."

There's no retirement plan for Persian potentates. Only a free casket.

@ Alan Brooks

Actually there is nothing Iranian or even Persian about the ruling clerics. They were brought to Iran from Lebanon and Iraq and the supreme leader is partly an Arab.

Alan Brooks| 9.3.10 @ 1:32AM

I would have written 'Iranian', but Persian potentates sounds good enough for most bloggers. Besides, when the clerics are imported they become somewhat persianized after awhile.
So it wasn't entirely inaccurate- esp since I was referring to the secular potentates in Iran.

Tehran's election stealing hoods,
Gearing up for the Friday of Quds,
So typically bellicose,
Violations 'Net and gross,
Tells the Greens they're not out of the woods.

Mad Hatter| 9.3.10 @ 12:02AM

A window-washing woman named Betty,
Washed windows for the Karroubi named Mehdi,
She said, "When I squeegee,
I see loads of Basiji,
I sure wish you Qud be ready!"

Mad Hatter| 9.3.10 @ 12:16AM

The Ayatollahs, protecting their polity,
Won't let Karroubi join Quds frivolity,
The police are a riot,
And in case he would try it,
They'll stop him with Net Neutrality.

Oh it HURTS so much....

Purple Lips| 9.3.10 @ 7:56AM

In 2004 there was an AP story about a 14 year old Persian boy who was executed in the streets of his home village by the religious police. See, his crime wasn't treason, robbery, or stealing a goat. No, he missed evening prayers services. The AP story stated that despite 25 years of religious rule, the Shia mosques remain empty. Mosque attendence is many parts of Iran is less than 20%. To correct this problem, the Mullahs passed a law making non-prayer activities during prayer time a crime -obviously punishable by death.

The Iranian rank and file despise thier mullahs. Iranians continue to be secular by and large.

A letter sent by a major Jewish organization for fund raising sends "peition of support for Israel" to sign addressed to Senators of a particular state. decrying the deligitimizing of the the State of Israe. yet, this ignores the real force that allows this kind of policy to go on along with our failed Policy towards Iran--that would be the elected president of the US. Iran the client state of Russian and China has stated times too numerous to count that it intends to destroy Israel. The tolerance of any state making such a threat is beyond comprehension in itself. Now this Quds day thing is just one of element in this situation of Iran ( with the backing of Russia and China ) but also with the implicit "backing of the US government. Hamas an agendt of Iran ( therefore a subagent of Russia and China ) have already started to derail the so called peace talks. And I believe that this will continue--time will tell. My theory-which is mine --is the follo0wing: Netenyahu knows very well that these talks are useless. But he has to at least show that he ios making a genu9ine effort. And I believe that even if he made sever concessions--like the division of jerusalem--for example as such--it will most like prove futile --which is the whole point of this eercise. Netenyahu wants was many to see first hand that even if he is as reasonable as possible--even to the detriment of his political carreer, it will not work. The reason has always been there. The Mulim world wants a " one state solution" . From the failed talks there will be great violence and the official start of World War 4 ?

"A spokesman for Teheran's Ministry of Information announced new guidelines today for all news articles and pres relesases, namely that each article contain at least two of the following terms: "Zionist", "entity", Satan," 'America, "whore", "prostitute", or "Islamic".

The Commerce Ministry also announced the construction of a new gas pipeline. "This Islamic pipeline will revolutionize attempts to defeat the Zionist prostitute," it was said.
