The Mosaic of War

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton - the NoisyRoom

My all-time favorite author is Dean Koontz. He has a way of telling a story that is absolutely riveting, humorous and horrifying at the same time. There’s a story here somewhere for Dean – I can sense evil from The Corner of My Eye. And it is fast approaching like a malevolent storm intent on sweeping mankind away with sinister glee bubbling up from its chaotic depths. The story line is unfolding with good and evil lines drawn and the players taking sides with no guarantee of the outcome, but plenty of ensured carnage. Let’s set the stage, shall we?

One of the first things that happens before full-blown war breaks out typically is that embassies are closed and diplomats are recalled or expelled. It is a precursor to the beginning of festivities on both sides.

This past week. Canada found the spine we seemed to have misplaced and declared Iran a terrorist regime. They closed their embassy in Iran and brought their ambassador and diplomats home. They closed Iran’s embassy in Canada and kicked out their ambassador and diplomats. They also issued the strongest travel warning available to their citizens telling them in no uncertain terms, don’t even think of going to Iran and if you are there, get the hell out.

From Sun News:

Pressed several times by reporters about why Canada was taking this action now, Baird rattled off a long list of grievances Canada has with Iran:

• Iran refuses to comply with the United Nations resolutions pertaining to its nuclear program
• Increasing military assistance to the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad
• Iran shelters and “materially supports” terrorist groups
• Routine threats to the existence of the state of Israel
• Repeated violations of the Vienna Convention which governs diplomatic relations between most countries of the world
• “Racist anti-Semitic rhetoric and incitement to genocide,” Baird said.
• Worst violators of human rights.

“Under the circumstances, Canada can no longer maintain a diplomatic presence in Tehran,” Baird said. “There’s a just a long list of reasons why we’re coming to this decision.”

Baird said all Canadian diplomats have already left Iran.

A worldwide caliphate is forming once again with Iran at or near the center of the vortex. The Muslim Brotherhood is in control, with a great deal of help from Barack Obama while he stays true to his Muslim roots and keeps pushing taquiyya to the infidels in America. The American President is pushing diplomacy between Israel and Iran just long enough for Iran to get fully armed to wipe Israel off the face of the planet. He is clearly anti-Israel (the events at the Charlotte DNC National Convention surrounding the platform make that even more evident.) and pro-Islam. Obama spouts support for Israel while ensuring her demise and propping up her enemies. Talk about two-faced. And Netanyahu has had just about enough of Obama’s lies and deceptions.

Video:  The Story of Obama and Israel

It was reported only once that I heard that platform committee members said the platform changes  at the DNC including the removal of the word God, the designation as Jerusalem was Israel’s capital as well as two other major references to our allegiance to  Israel were purposely removed to align the parties platform with the beliefs of President Obama.

On September 28th, Obama and Netanyahu will meet at the UN. But adding insult to injury, Ahmadinejad will address the UN on Yom Kippur – Israel’s Day of Atonement and their highest holy day. What a monstrous insult to Israel. This whole meeting reminds me seriously of the bar scene from Star Wars. It’s a freakfest that highlights evil everywhere possible. Netanyahu will be a light in the darkness there – may G-d protect him.

Time is very short now and tiny Israel is going to have to decide when to fight. She will not wait for America – she can’t afford to. Her survival is at stake. As Danny Danon, the MK of Israel has said, an ally is someone who takes action. This is laid at Obama’s feet, not the American people:

In fact, Obama’s actions are fanning antisemitism here in the states. Hatred is on the rise against Jews and Christians across the land of the free and the home of the brave. And Obama is stomping on our Constitution and rights every chance he gets.

For those that think this only involves Israel and Iran, or at the most the Middle East, think again. We will be drawn into this war. There is no way we can’t. Not only is Israel our closest ally, Iran is our worst enemy. There is an argument to be made that Obama would love a war to break out as he sees it as a pathway to reelection. Americans should review that scenario carefully. If war breaks out, we would be much safer with Romney at the helm. At least he has a spine and morals.

Americans should also consider the very real possibility of an attack on the US. Last week, Iran stated that shortly they would be stationing their navy just outside of US waters. All the better to hit us with an EMP or 3. But, they don’t need a navy… a cargo ship would do nicely.

Then comes the warm and fuzzy news that Iran is prepared to launch terrorist attacks from South America against us. You know, that land mass we have been studiously ignoring and hoping it would just go away… Well, it didn’t. From WND:

As reported earlier this year, terror cells have been placed on high alert to attack targets in the U.S. and Europe should Iran be attacked. Hundreds of terror cells have infiltrated America and, in collaboration with Hezbollah, are awaiting orders to strike American targets.

Thousands of cells have also been placed in Latin America.

“The Quds Force has established a command and control center in both Bolivia and Venezuela,” a former Iranian official with knowledge of the regime’s terror network recently revealed. “Though it has presence in Europe and other parts of the world, it has focused on Latin America. Thousands of such cells have been placed in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Venezuela.”

A recent report from within Nicaragua indicated that Iran has established a training base in the northern part of that country, where operatives, including Hezbollah terrorists, are being readied for an attack on U.S. and Israeli interests should a war break out with Iran.

Hassan Abassi, a former Guard commander and a current strategist, has stated that many of the cells are of Latin American origin, including from Mexico, and that several hundred targets have been identified in the U.S. for a possible attack.

Yep, the Twelvers are gearing up to play RISK and we are embroiled in a political reality show. Remember, we are the Great Satan and Israel is the Little Satan. Guess who is number one on the radical Islamist apocalyptic dance card?

A multitude of geopolitical tiles compose the mosaic of war… are we prepared for the fight of our lives? As the final “work of art” takes shape, and the seemingly unrelated squares of color and hue, of darkness and light, of hope and despair take their places in the greater picture, and the image begins to coalesce from a thousand apparently isolated dots, what is it we see when the rendering is complete?

Welcome to the beginning of World War III.

*And if this were not frightening enough, many people who do not really follow politics or even the news, at least not from any credible sources, will not realize that if this happens in October, before the election, that Obama had his hand in this, and will then naively not want to change presidents during a new war or major threat of our involvement in a new war.  Plus the left will push the ridiculous notion that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan don’t have enough experience in foreign policy… as if President Obama had any.  Wakeup… It is getting very dark out there and Obama-Biden are not the answer!  M~

The Fascist Boogie Fever

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton - The NoisyRoom

All hail, or should we say ‘heil,’ the rise of the Golden Dawn fascists in Greece. It’s all the rage (literally) in the streets of Greece these days. They now hold 21 seats in the Greek government – about 7% of the controlling body – and combined with the Communists, that control is closer to 20%. And their influence is not only growing there, but in Europe and the US. The darkness is rising once again and the Golden Dawn is telling those in power they should fear them now and indeed, they should take those threats to heart. Golden Dawn is demanding the respect of the Greek people and, with their violent stance, they may enforce it.

From The Blaze:

Golden Dawn leader Nikolaos Michaloliakos told The Associated Press in an interview that his party had delivered a blow against the country’s corrupt leadership.

“They slandered us, slung mud at us, and shut us out of all the news media – the TV channels of the corrupt elite – and we beat them,” the 55-year-old leader said as the votes came in. “The day of national revolution by the Greeks has begun against those who are selling us out and looting the sweat of the Greek people.”

History is repeating and a new horror is spreading its wings across the globe and few seem to be taking note of it. France just elected a Socialist leader (actually he’s a Communist; you say potato…) and Islamic fascism via The Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda is sweeping the Middle East. Look at history: Hitler and Islam joined hands in a Kumbaya moment of sociopathic murderous glee to slaughter the Jews last time and you are seeing the exact same moves today. Once again, America sits quietly by as the vilest of coalitions forms to engulf humanity while Satan laughs with delight. Iran is doing the nuclear bump as its evil imp of a leader boldly proclaims that war is not needed to defeat Israel. No… cutting ties and dirty looks should do the trick. Okay, you can stop choking with laughter now. Ahmadinejad is the ultimate trickster – I firmly believe he wants to nuke Israel into the afterlife and you are nuts if you can’t see that. We are on his enemies list as well – right at the top of it actually, with Israel a close second. A well placed EMP or two should take care of the US in the imp’s viewpoint and he may well be right. Millions would die in the aftermath of one second after.

America is not immune to the spread of Golden Dawn’s platform. Certainly, if Obama is reelected we will see it spread. Of course, the name will be different, but the sulfuric stench will be the same. If Romney is elected and then does not follow the will of the people in America, which is a conservative bent by the majority, and goes back to bailouts and stimulus games, you will see the rise of nationalism here as well and that is poison. We dare not go down that road. History shows we could easily do so. There were pro-Hitler movements here in the US the last time this rose from the depths of Hell. Look it up.

The Blaze explains the scenario that could unfold:

Beck explained that the situation in Greece was likely a direct result of something he calls the “Bubba effect.” To refresh your memory on what this theory entails, envision a scenario where, in the wake of an Islamic terror attack and subsequent government ineptitude — particularly as regards national security and immigration — an everyman, or, “Bubba,” pushed to the brink, shoots someone who appears to be Muslim. Citizens rally to Bubba’s defense, blaming the government, not the murderer, for causing the problem in the first place. When citizens’ frustration with government reaches critical mass, a contingent can all too easily use that as an excuse to lash out. As we examine the situation in Greece below, it seems the Bubba effect may have already arrived.

One component leading to the unrest across the eurozone has been the enactment of austerity measures. Billed as an answer to the European sovereign debt crisis, austerity measures focus on achieving reduced levels of spending primarily through cutting public services and programs. This is done so that taxes need not increase to compensate for deficits. Needless to say, whenever public and social services are cut, those who champion said programs, particularly on the left, are bound to pose strong resistance. Such has been the case across Europe, specifically Greece. With the exit of Sarkozy, German Chancellor Angela Merkel is perhaps the only pro-austerity leader left in Europe.

I never thought I would see this happen in my lifetime. It blindsided me and takes my breath away. When I face the evil developing, it causes me to cringe from within and begs me to turn away. I will not and I pray that America and the world will not either. The only way to beat back the darkness is to face it head on and fight with every bit of strength you have physically and in your soul. Death is not the worst thing that can happen to you. History is calling us – which side will each of us choose? I choose the light and will fight to my last breath defending Israel and what is good and right. My course is set, but the world’s is still very much in question. It has taken the world only 70 years to forget the last time we danced with this demon. Shame on us.

Listen to the hardline rhetoric of Greece’s Golden Dawn leader, Nikolaos Michaloliakos. Anti-immigration, isolation, nationalism… spouted with ear-assailing passion and vehemence. Remind you of anyone? All fanatical, charismatic psychopaths share certain traits – loud proclamations, soul-stirring speeches and gut wrenching inclusions meant to ensnare the soul and trap the individual with twisted, seductive language where up is down, wrong is right, death is life.

More is to be gleaned from The Blaze – the only one I know of that’s exposing this spreading cancer:

Vowing to “rid this country of the stench” — a.k.a. immigrants — Golden Dawn’s insignia is entirely too reminiscent of the swastika and its adherents, reportedly clad in black, are often seen physically abusing and intimidating immigrants across the country. Needless to say, Greece’s immigrant community is understandably concerned and opponents are preoccupied with how best to marginalize the Neo-Nazi group that has now gained legitimacy in the halls of government.

Michaloliakos, who is also no fan of the media, said the day of “national revolution by the Greeks has begun against those who are selling us out and looting the sweat of the Greek people.”

It might also be worth noting that “Golden Dawn” takes its name from a “magical order” of Freemasons who practiced in the late 19th and early 20th century Britain. The order has been cited one of the greatest influences on Western occultism.

The silence from the media and the world is deafening and beyond alarming. Israel sees what is happening. What happened to all of us who declared “never again?” Eternity beckons the world into darkness and we are too busy watching American Idol to care. Sigh.

It is true that the Nazis killed not only Jews and Gypsies, but Communists and Socialists. But in many ways, the Nazis shared common goals with the Communists. That is why they were killed – their ideology competed with Hitler’s vision. Particularly, their economic goals were similar.

From the TIME Magazine profile that named Adolf Hitler its 1934 Man of the Year:

“Most cruel joke of all, however, has been played by Hitler & Co. on those German capitalists and small businessmen who once backed National Socialism as a means of saving Germany’s bourgeois economic structure from radicalism. The Nazi credo that the individual belongs to the state also applies to business. Some businesses have been confiscated outright, on other what amounts to a capital tax has been levied. Profits have been strictly controlled. Some idea of the increasing Governmental control and interference in business could be deduced from the fact that 80% of all building and 50% of all industrial orders in Germany originated last year with the Government. Hard-pressed for food- stuffs as well as funds, the Nazi regime has taken over large estates and in many instances collectivized agriculture, a procedure fundamentally similar to Russian Communism.”

There was a direct correlation between poverty, the increase of unemployment and the rise of Nazism. Think it can’t happen here? If we don’t change our course, look in the mirror at Greece. She is our future on a larger, more deadly scale. It took only 30% to elect Hitler and put him in office with an iron-fisted control of the country.

The fascist boogie fever has hit Greece and is dancing its influence across the planet. Spreading anti-Semitism, hate and fear while dancing to the Nazi beat. It’s literally to die for.

EXCLUSIVE: The Iconoclast - The Voice of Make-Nice-to Dictators VOA’s Persian Service is going off the deep-end… again

Once again, there is bad news out of Voice of America’s Persian Service – so much so, that many advocates of freedom in Iran believe the service should be shut down, or the U.S. Congress should pass a new law to ban non-U.S. Citizens from working there, since we have more  than 2 million native Farsi speakers who are now Americans...

Here’s the news you won’t be reading from the mainstream media:

Tuesday, 01 November 2011

EXCLUSIVE: The Voice of Make-Nice-to Dictators VOA’s Persian Service is going off the deep-end – again.  -  The Iconoclast

The big news out of the Voice of America’s Persian News Network (PNN), the much troubled broadcasting service you would think would be bringing the “voice” of America to Iran, was the firing ten days ago of CNN/FoxNews broadcasting star Rudi Bakhtiar.

Just a few months ago, Ms. Bakhtiar was considered a treasured catch. Lured away from a prominent position as a public affairs spokesperson for a human rights campaign, she was escorted out of the Cohen building on a Friday afternoon by VOA security guards. It was a humiliating end to a short-lived career where by all accounts she succeeded in raising moral and raising the profile of this much troubled U.S. broadcasting service.

What happened? For now, Ms. Bakhtiar is keeping mum – understandably so – as she undoubtedly consults lawyers and considers taking legal action against VOA.

But PNN has been roiled by a seemingly incoherent set of personnel changes ever since Ramin Asgard, a former State Department diplomat, took over the reins earlier this year after a long search for a new director.

Asgard, granted many visas to suspect Iranian nationals as a U.S. consular officer in Istanbul and Dubai, seemed intent on accomplishing two goals from the outset of his directorship: insulating his leadership from Congressional challenge, and using PNN as a vehicle to enhance U.S. relations with Tehran.

“Ramin thinks it would be a cool thing to have an office in Tehran,” a knowledgeable insider who has known Asgard for several years told me. “He has been very eager to diffuse criticism from people like Sen. Tom Coburn and Enders Winbush,” a Republican appointee to the Broadcasting Board of Governors, PNN’s ultimate supervisor.

Among Asgard’s first acts as head of Voice of America’s Persian service was to fire controversial managing editor, Seyed Ali Sajadi, the son of a senior cleric in Tehran. Sajadi had become notorious for single-handedly preventing PNN from broadcasting exclusive video footage of the murder of Neda Agha-Sultan, the beautiful young Iranian woman who became the face of the anti-government Green movement after she was gunned down by pro-regime thugs on the streets of Tehran during the June 2009 protests.

So far, so good. Next, Asgard brought onto the air one of VOA’s fiercest critics, a self-proclaimed student leader named Amir Abbas Fakhravar, who had become a source of insider information to Sen. Tom Coburn and others in Congress about anti-American material sent out over the VOA airwaves.

Fakhravar, the darling of a handful of Washington, DC neo-cons, has succeeded in just five years in the United States in alienating every Iranian-American activist and legitimate student leader who has recently left Iran, usually through scurrilous – and often obscene – slanders he penned against them on Persian language blogs.

On April 6, 2011, Fakhravar testified before a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee about the shortcomings of PNN, skipping over Mr. Sajadi (for whom he has expressed sympathy) and instead firing full bore at Ahmad Batebi, the Tehran University student pictured on the cover of the Economist during the July 1999 student uprising holding up a bloody t-shirt.

Mr. Batebi, who had shared a prison cell briefly with Mr. Fakhrevar back in Tehran and knew his secrets, came to the United States three years ago and has been working for VOA ever since, interviewing dissidents inside Iran. Mr. Fakhravar’s accusations that Mr. Batebi was collaborating with Iranian intelligence were so scurrilous that he (thankfully) left them in his written testimony and did not voice them out loud.

Richard Perle, the former Reagan Pentagon official who helped Mr. Fakhravar come to this country in 2006, tells me he is “sick of the whole lot of them” and feels that the current crop of Iranian exiles would put the Romanian, Hungarian and other refugees of the Cold War to shame. He recently  resigned along with the entire Advisory Board from Fakhravar’s “Iranian Enterprise Institute.”

Others, such as Michael Ledeen of the American Enterprise Institute, have publicly called for ridding VOA of all foreign nationals and turning it over to American citizens, a proposal that has significant support in Congress and from the American Federation of Government Employees that represents most VOA employees. Ledeen has also resigned from Fakhravar’s advisory board, which has been taken down from his website. An archived version is here).

Exile communities historically have a tendency to bicker. In the case of the Iranians, they have good reason to do so, since the Iranian regime has spared no effort to recruit agents in their midst and to sow discord, making it virtually impossible for them to speak with a single voice.

But the rot at VOA goes well beyond a squabble among exiles, however important that may be: it touches core issues of American policy toward Iran, and how we view our public diplomacy.

In one recent staff meeting, Mr. Asgard instructed his work force to keep all anti-regime criticism off the air, because he wanted VOA “to serve as a bridge between the United States and the Iranian governments,” according to two sources familiar with the meeting.

Since issuing that edict, Mr. Asgard has fired top broadcasters who were in touch with Iran’s disenchanted youth, such as Mr. Batebi, Kianoush Sanjari and Kourosh Seyhati, as well as well-respected veteran Jamshid Charlangi. Several of them were escorted out of the building by VOA security personnel on October 7, victims of an earlier Friday night massacre. (Mr. Batebi was fired in July; Ms. Bakhtiar was given the axe this past Friday, Oct. 21).

In their place, Mr. Asgard has hired a group of young protégés of pro-Tehran activist Trita Parsi, the president of the National Iranian American Council, NIAC.

Mr. Parsi has reliably defended the Islamic Republic of Iran leadership through thick and thin, always managing to find excuses for their bad behavior (hint: it’s America’s fault), while urging the U.S. government to just “reach out their hand” to the Iranian regime and lift sanctions. As Herman Cain would say, How’s that workin’ for ‘ya?

My sources at VOA tell me that Asgard is hoping to fire more anti-Tehran regime journalists, while taking on board more NIAC members, to complete the VOA's transformation into a U.S. taxpayer-sponsored “Make Nice to Dictators” channel.

A recent evaluation of VOA broadcasting that gave support to Asgard's makeover was authored by Hooman Majd, an Iranian-American "scholar" who has worked as Ahmadinejad's "voice" during his visits to New York. Hooman Majd has also taken Trita Parsi under his wing and appeared at events with him.

But the plot gets thicker still. In addition to using its lackeys here in the United States, the Iranian regime has also been using its English-language propaganda network, PRESS TV, to spread lies and rumors to smear the reputation of anti-regime broadcasters. Mr. Charlangi was the victim of a particularly vicious – and totally spurious – claim by Press TV that he was under investigation for sexual harassment that ultimately contributed to his dismissal.

Since the Justice Department revealed the Iranian terror plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States in Washington, DC, the Tehran regime has been desperate to deny it had anything to do with the blown plot.

Their latest gambit has been to offer up the IRGC intermediary in the plot, claiming he was an infiltrator from the MEK, the Marxist Islamist group that once was part of the Khomeinist regime but later had a falling out with them over power-sharing 30 years ago.

As I explained here, if only their U.S. agent had picked the right Mexican to execute the terror plot, the headlines would have read “MEXICAN DRUG WAR COMES TO WASHINGTON, DC,” not “Iranian Terror Plot Foiled.”

Today, Trita Parsi, NIAC, and other regime apologists are going out of their way to cast doubt on the FBI’s allegations in the terror plot, and to “warn” the United States not to over-react. And Ramin Asgard’s Voice of America is going along with them.

The Iranian regime is not to blame for plotting a terrorist attack on the United States, in Mr. Parsi’s view. At worst, they were attempting to “provoke” the Obama administration. “[T]he Obama administration should be careful not to walk into such a trap,” he wrote the day the indictment was unveiled. “We must work to prevent such a disastrous outcome” through “restraint and de-escalation.”

Let’s see: the Iranian regime has just tried to blow up scores of people with C-4 explosives at a Washington, DC restaurant, and the United States is the one that should show “restraint” and “de-escalation?”

VOA’s coverage of the terror plot was considered so favorable to the Tehran regime’s narrative that Iranian an state-sponsored website picked excerpts of VOA interviews with five “scholars” and “experts” who cast doubt on the FBI’s evidence in a recent documentary aimed at debunking the U.S. government account of the plot. At one point, the narrator in regime documentary says, “See, even American government television says the case [against the Iranian regime] is a lie.”

Another “expert” Iranian state television quoted in its documentary on the Arbabsiar terror case was Trita Parsi (although they picked footage from an interview he gave the BBC’s Persian service, not VOA).

The Voice of America’s Persian service should be telling Iranians the stories about their own lives they cannot get from their own media because of censorship. It should not be in the business of giving airtime to apologists for the Tehran regime or making excuses for regime terror plots. 

PNN’s new director, Ramin Asgar, seems to think that the true vocation of the Voice of America is to become the Voice of Tehran.

Enough.

Iranian Regime Waiting for the Twelfth Imam and Creeping Sharia in America

All this week, Glenn has been asking the questions - Who is looking out for Israel? And, who is standing up for freedom here and all over the world? Well, one thing is for certain- we know the answer to these questions is certainly not Iran. They want to take both the United States and Israel down and clear the path for the Twelfth Imam. Glenn welcomes a special guest to this program... a former member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard shares some frightening video that proves the regime is indeed preparing for the return of the Twelfth Imam. Plus, CBN Host Erick Stackelbeck.

The Terrorist Next Door: How the Government is Deceiving You About the Islamist Threat   -  Comes Out May 2nd

Are We Standing on the Wrong Side… Of History?

Obama and Ahmadinejad

Is Barack Obama the "promised warrior" coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?

The question has made the rounds in Iran since last month, when a pro-government Web site published a Hadith (or tradition) from a Shiite text of the 17th century. The tradition comes from Bahar al-Anvar (meaning Oceans of Light) by Mullah Majlisi, a magnum opus in 132 volumes and the basis of modern Shiite Islam.

According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet's cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a "tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West." Commanding "the strongest army on earth," the new ruler in the West will carry "a clear sign" from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: "Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us."

In a curious coincidence Obama's first and second names--Barack Hussein--mean "the blessing of Hussein" in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means "he is with us," the magic formula in Majlisi's tradition.

Mystical reasons aside, the Khomeinist establishment sees Obama's rise as another sign of the West's decline and the triumph of Islam. Obama's promise to seek unconditional talks with the Islamic Republic is cited as a sign that the U.S. is ready to admit defeat. Obama's position could mean abandoning three resolutions passed by the United Nations Security Council setting conditions that Iran should meet to avoid sanctions. Seeking unconditional talks with the Khomeinists also means an admission of moral equivalence between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic. It would imply an end to the description by the U.S. of the regime as a "systematic violator of human rights."

Obama has abandoned claims by all U.S. administrations in the past 30 years that Iran is "a state sponsor of terrorism." Instead, he uses the term "violent groups" to describe Iran-financed outfits such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

Obama has also promised to attend a summit of the Organization of the Islamic Conference within the first 100 days of his presidency. Such a move would please the mullahs, who have always demanded that Islam be treated differently, and that Muslim nations act as a bloc in dealings with Infidel nations.

Obama's election would boost President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's chances of winning a second term next June. Ahmadinejad's entourage claim that his "steadfastness in resisting the American Great Satan" was a factor in helping Obama defeat "hardliners" such as Hillary Clinton and, later, it hopes, John McCain.

"President Ahmadinejad has taught Americans a lesson," says Hassan Abbasi, a "strategic adviser" to the Iranian president. "This is why they are now choosing someone who understands Iran's power." The Iranian leader's entourage also point out that Obama copied his campaign slogan "Yes, We Can" from Ahmadinejad's "We Can," used four years ago.

A number of Khomeinist officials have indicated their preference for Obama over McCain, who is regarded as an "enemy of Islam." A Foreign Ministry spokesman says Iran does not wish to dictate the choice of the Americans but finds Obama "a better choice for everyone." Ali Larijani, Speaker of the Islamic Majlis, Iran's ersatz parliament, has gone further by saying the Islamic Republic "prefers to see Barack Obama in the White House" next year.

Tehran's penchant for Obama, reflected in the official media, increased when the Illinois senator chose Joseph Biden as his vice-presidential running mate. Biden was an early supporter of the Khomeinist revolution in 1978-1979 and, for the past 30 years, has been a consistent advocate of recognizing the Islamic Republic as a regional power. He has close ties with Khomeinist lobbyists in the U.S. and has always voted against sanctions on Iran.

Ahmadinejad has described the U.S. as a "sunset" (ofuli) power as opposed to Islam, which he says is a "sunrise" (toluee) power. Last summer, he inaugurated an international conference called World Without America--attended by anti-Americans from all over the world, including the U.S.

Seen from Tehran, Obama's election would demoralize the U.S. armed forces by casting doubt on their victories in Iraq and Afghanistan, if not actually transforming them into defeat. American retreat from the Middle East under Obama would enable the Islamic Republic to pursue hegemony of the region. Tehran is especially interested in dominating Iraq, thus consolidating a new position that extends its power to the Mediterranean through Syria and Lebanon.

During the World Without America conference, several speakers speculated that Obama would show "understanding of Muslim grievances" with regard to Palestine. Ahmadinejad hopes to persuade a future President Obama to adopt the "Iranian solution for Palestine," which aims at creating a single state in which Jews would quickly become a minority.

Judging by anecdotal evidence and the buzz among Iranian bloggers, while the ruling Khomeinists favor Obama, the mass of Iranians regard (and dislike) the Democrat candidate as an appeaser of the mullahs. Iran, along with Israel, is the only country in the Middle East where the United States remains popular. An Obama presidency, perceived as friendly to the oppressive regime in Tehran, may change that.

This, in short, is the essence of a deal struck between the Barack Obama administration and the House of Saud. Two diplomatic sources at the United Nations independently confirmed that Washington, via Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, gave the go-ahead for Saudi Arabia to invade Bahrain and crush the pro-democracy movement in their neighbor in exchange for a "yes" vote by the Arab League for a no-fly zone over Libya - the main rationale that led to United Nations Security Council resolution 1973. The revelation came from two different diplomats,...

Obama to Iran: Let Them Eat Ice Cream

On Iran, President Obama is worse than Hamlet. He's Colin Powell, waiting to see who wins before picking a side.

Last week, massive protests roiled Iran in response to an apparently fraudulent presidential election, in which nutcase Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the winner within two hours of the polls closing. (ACORN must be involved.)

Obama responded by boldly declaring that the difference between the loon Ahmadinejad and his reformist challenger, Mir Hossein Mousavi, "may not be as great as advertised."

Maybe the thousands of dissenters risking their lives protesting on the streets of Tehran are doing so because they liked Mousavi's answer to the "boxers or briefs" question better than Ahmadinejad's.

Then, in a manly rebuke to the cheating mullahs, Obama said: "You've seen in Iran some initial reaction from the supreme leader" -- peace be upon him -- "that indicates he understands the Iranian people have deep concerns about the election."

Did FDR give speeches referring to Adolf Hilter as "Herr Fuhrer"? What's with Obama?
Even the French condemned the Iranian government's "brutal" reaction to the protesters -- and the French have tanks with one speed in forward and five speeds in reverse.

You might be a scaredy-cat if ... the president of France is talking tougher than you are.

More than a week ago, French president Nicolas Sarkozy said: "The ruling power claims to have won the elections ... if that were true, we must ask why they find it necessary to imprison their opponents and repress them with such violence."

But liberals rushed to assure us that Obama's weak-kneed response to the Iranian uprising and the consequent brutal crackdown was a brilliant foreign policy move. (They also proclaimed his admission that he still smokes "lion-hearted" and "statesmanlike.")

As our own Supreme Leader B. Hussein Obama (peace be upon him) explained, "It's not productive given the history of U.S.-Iranian relations to be seen as meddling."
You see, if the president of the United States condemned election fraud in Iran, much less put in a kind word for the presidential candidate who is not crazy, it would somehow crush the spirit of the protesters when they discovered, to their horror, that the Great Satan was on their side. (It also wouldn't do much for Al Franken in Minnesota.)

Liberals hate America, so they assume everyone else does, too.
So when a beautiful Iranian woman, Neda Agha Soltan, was shot dead in the streets of Iran during a protest on Saturday and a video of her death ricocheted around the World Wide Web, Obama valiantly responded by ... going out for an ice cream cone. (Masterful!)

Commenting on a woman's cold-blooded murder in the streets of Tehran, like the murder of babies, is evidently above Obama's "pay grade."

If it were true that a U.S. president should stay neutral between freedom-loving Iranian students and their oppressors, then why is Obama speaking in support of the protesters now? Are liberals no longer worried about the parade of horribles they claimed would ensue if the U.S. president condemned the mullahs?
Obama's tough talk this week proves that his gentle words last week about Ahmadinejad and Iran's "supreme leader" (peace be upon him) constituted, at best, spinelessness and, at worst, an endorsement of the fraud.

Moreover, if the better part of valor is for America to stand neutral between freedom and Islamic oppression, why are liberals trying to credit Obama's ridiculous Cairo speech for emboldening the Iranian protesters?

The only reason that bald contradiction doesn't smack you in the face is that it is utterly preposterous that Obama's Cairo speech accomplished anything -- anything worthwhile, that is. Not even the people who say that believe it.

The only reaction to Obama's Cairo speech in the Middle East is that the mullahs probably sighed in relief upon discovering that the U.S. president is a coward and an imbecile.

Two weeks ago, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman was exulting over the "free and fair" national election in Lebanon, in which the voters threw out Hezbollah and voted in the "U.S.-supported coalition." (Apparently support from America is not deemed the vote-killer in Lebanon that it allegedly is in Iran.)

To justify his Times-expensed airfare to Beirut, Friedman added some local color, noting that "more than one Lebanese whispered to me: Without George Bush standing up to the Syrians in 2005 ... this free election would not have happened."
That's what Lebanese voters said.

But Friedman also placed a phone call to a guy at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace -- which he didn't have to go to Lebanon for -- to get a quote supporting the ludicrous proposition that Obama's Cairo speech was responsible for the favorable election results in Lebanon.

"And then here came this man (Obama)," Mr. Carnegie Fund said, "who came to them with respect, speaking these deep values about their identity and dignity and economic progress and education, and this person indicated that this little prison that people are living in here was not the whole world. That change was possible."
I think the fact that their Muslim brethren are now living in freedom in a democratic Iraq might have made the point that "change was possible" and "this little prison" is "not the whole world" somewhat more forcefully than a speech apologizing for Westerners who dislike the hijab.

Obama -- and America -- are still living off President Bush's successes in the war on terrorism. For the country's sake, may those successes outlast Obama's attempt to dismantle them.

The situation in Iran will turn out to be a major opportunity missed by President Obama. One of the most important missed facts of this revolutionary movement by the president and his administration is the fact that it is a women’s revolt, which from any standpoint makes it a civil liberties issue. --Ask Marion
