“This is a moment in history, and he’s missing it.”
On Special Report tonight Charles Krauthammer ripped President Obama for his “flaccid, meaningless” words on the Iranian freedom protests.
Krauthammer: “The regime is weakening. This is a hinge in history. Everything in the region with change if the regime is changed. Obama ought to be strong out there in saying it’s an illegitimate government; we stand shoulder to shoulder with the people in the street. When he talks about diplomacy he should be urging our Western allies to that have relations to cut them off. He ought to be going into the UN every forum denouncing it. This is a moment in history, and he’s missing it.“

December 28th, 2009 | 7:33 pm | #6
I can really visualize what the conversation would be like if Mr. Krauthammer and our Dictator in Training Pants would ever meet……..
Obama – “We seek broader engagement based upon mutual interest and mutual respect.”
Krauthammer – What do you want ?!?
Obama – “We will listen carefully, we will bridge misunderstanding, and we will seek common ground.”
Krauthammer – Don’t give me that, you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings !
Obama – “We will be respectful even when we do not agree.”
Krauthammer – Shut your festering gob, you tit ! Your type really makes me puke, you vacuous, coffee-nosed, maloderous, pervert !

Freedom and fair elections in neighboring Iraq, have fueled the freedom fighters in Iran. God bless our military and God bless President George W. Bush, the greatest president in american history, for spreading freedom throughout the world.

“This is a moment in history and he’s missing it.”
Because he doesn’t want to upset China. China and Iran are pals. We owe China a lot of money. Obama is relying on China to lend us money for his programs. If Obama ticks China off, China blows his whole economic plan. So … until China says it is OK, Obama isn’t going to say much about Iran.

Ear Leader isn’t missing anything: he favors the current regime in Iran over anything so messy as a new government, especially one that might actually want to get along with the US and it’s neighbors.
the mullahs hate the US and so does the First Douche.
December 28th, 2009 | 7:43 pm | #11
Obummer is an ardent supporter of the dictator Iranian oligarchy. Every freedom protester that is shot and killed, Obummer has a ‘ go-go-go Mullah’ moment. The More freedom protesters are being beaten, tortured and killed, the better Obummer feels as safe in the hands of the correct way.
December 28th, 2009 | 7:49 pm | #12
If Obama comments now, it will give the Iranian regime an opportunity to focus the Iranian people on an outside enemy— the Satanic US.
Let the revolution come from within. If you want to support the Iranian people, draw attention to the world as to what is happening, but do not give the regime ammunition in the form of an external bogeyman.

Krauthammer nails it. As usual. The Iranian people have dug in, for a month long vigil in a quest of freedom. GWB would have been on this in June.
December 28th, 2009 | 8:16 pm | #17
Obama is not with us, Iranians, he stands with our oppressors. He oppresses the American people’s will in passing the giant health care bill. Why would any one expect him to stand with liberty seeking Iranians when he oppresses his own people at home?

Krauthammer is correct. This is a moment in history. Unfortunately, for us, this is not Obama’s moment in history. Its all about him. What’s in it for him? If he supports the students, its about them. Its not about him. You don’t get kudos for supporting a revolution. Remember Dubya got a kick in the face for invading Iraq. After a successful invasion there was grudging acceptance.
This President needs a photo op and cool words. The hard work of toppling regimes and standing up to dictators is left to others.

Some of us were disconcerted by the apparent lack of notice Pres. G.H.W. Bush took of events on the East European side of the Iron Curtain in the period that (as we happily discovered) was leading up to the Soviet collapse.

December 28th, 2009 | 8:36 pm | #23
I have a feeling that Obama doesn’t want to say anything fearing it might derail his diplomatic efforts. What he is missing is an opportunity to fast-track the goal by helping to eliminate the regime altogether sooner rather than later. He will end up on the wrong side of history. Failure is as failures do.
December 28th, 2009 | 8:38 pm | #24
Obama doesn’t want the American people to jump to any conclusions about Hassan being a terrorist who slaughtered Americans at Fort Hood, and he doesn’t want anyone jumping to conclusions about the Iranian government who slaughters protesters in the streets of Iran either. See the pattern……nothing here to see…..everyone go back to sticking their heads in the sand.

ABC News this evening prefaced their Obama in Hawaii story to say the “He interrupted his vacation” to address the Detroit terrorism story. Three days it takes him to say something…This “Iran thing” is probably just a nuisance to him. Don’t you just hate it when the actual business of running a country gets in the way of playing a game of golf? I wonder how he sleeps a night? Heaven forbid if something actually does occur that would warrant his response in a timely manner! What is it going to take to get an immediate, appropriate response from this man??? I shudder to think…

Coordination Center for National Iranian Armed Resistance Forces declares its existence.
[We, a number of Officers, Soldiers and personnel of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, hereby declare our readiness for rise to the armed defense of our nation against the forces of the criminal, illegitimate, transgressing and occupying current Government of Iran, and hereby inform our brothers and sisters serving with the armed security forces of Iran, invite them to join us, request their support and ask them to provide cover for us in this moral & national act. A special request for support & cooperation goes to our brothers of the Military Police.]
a must read the whole thing & a Thank You GWB!!
Second Announcement National Armed Resistance Forces Command (NIRU)
December 28th, 2009
In the name of God the Almighty,
With salutations to the honest & brave Iranians, we inform:
1. All Stages, rules & aims of Operation Azadi are limited to those in NIRU Announcement dated 26.12.2009, and need no further explanations or interpretations.
2. The timing for operation to start at your station is up to your local command staff & dependent on conditions & in full consideration of all
risks involved.
3. Our referenced announcement (of 26.12.2009) is addressed
to Iranian Soldiers of the Armed and security forces only.
4. Remaining loyal Government forces are not in a position to combat
any Military Combat Group especially if covered by armored units.
5. We recommend to our brothers of Basij & Security Forces who are willing to surrender and/or join the people to display the victory sign
and shout “Azadi” to identify themselves & join them.
6. NIRU is an apolitical, and self motivated command consisting of soldiers from all armed & security forces (of Iran). NIRU is not an independent organization but merely the name of the coordination command of anti Government servicemen among the Iranian Armed & Security Forces. NIRU does not intend to take control or supervise the Government, and will dissolve without naming its members upon completion of the Operation Azadi.
7. Operation Azadi is in full compliance with military & constitutional law
in cases of foreign & unlawfully forced Government, and the duty of all current & former soldiers, who are loyal to their oath to protect Nation
and homeland.
8. We remind our allied fighters that the responsibility for safety of surrendered & arrested opposing forces as well as collection of all arms
& ammunition to avoid distribution among citizens lays with them.

As much as I’ve tried to avoid this comparison, it’s no longer possible to minimize the fact that 0bama, Osama and my ex-girlfriend were all born within weeks of each other.
They have in common a sense that the world breathlessly awaits an on-site report of what they had for lunch, and that earthquakes and floods are really all about them. The arguments for Lunar astrology seem more irrefutable by the minute.

Amen, Brother Charles. Sick ‘im!

December 28th, 2009 | 9:43 pm | #38
With each passing day the evidence becomes more convincing that Obama is indeed the Manchurian Candidate.
Yesterday, I learned that the late Percy Sutton, Defense Attorney for Malcolm X, was asked years ago by Dr. Khalid Al-Monsour, principal advisor to one of the world’s richest men, Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal, of Saudia Arabia, to use his influence to get Barack Obama accepted into Harvard Law School. It is believed that Bin Talal subsequently paid his Harvard tuition. Al-Monsour also used his influence to get Obama to be President of the Harvard Law Review. (Just try and find out how Obama could afford Harvard Law School tuition or any legal papers that he wrote while President of the Harvard Law Review- I bet you won’t be able to find any records of either.)
His associations with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers, are well known.
I am not someone who readily believes in conspiracy theories, but I must say that the more I learn about Obama’s hidden past, the more I am ready to concede that America has unwittingly elected an enemy of the United States to the highest elected Office in the Nation.
Yes, unbelievable, but increasingly plausible with each passing day.

not only that, but Khalid al-Mansour aka; Donald Warden also attended Howard U with ex-Muslim/Black Nationalist Jeremiah Wright..
there’s a tad more here (just keep scrolling down, more links @ links)..
they deleted the video in which al-Mansour states “he decided Obama would run as a “black man”".. he also stated that he wants Islam to rule & that he wants to rule Islam..
bwt, Prince Alwaleed is also involved with GM & Citigroup/Bank/etc..
i’ve said it many times before & i don’t mind saying it again.. if the al-Mansour connection is not the smoking gun, then it’s as close as
we’re going to get to it..

Rising above the frothing madness, we learn that the duly elected President of the United States is a Manchurean born Marxist. A terrorist-lovin’-despot. A trampler of All-American-Americanism. Hims favorite folk are some Khalidis. And a Mohammed or three.
Hasten, hasten! good non-kahlidi folk! A man so darkly sinister he hopes for the death of American mothers has ascended the dark throne of the American Presidency.
Americans!

He is one sickening selfish man. And its just an excuse to say we can’t butt in on Iran or the regime will get all pissed off at us. Do we care? NO! Do the citizens of Iran believe US is the devil? NO! Why can’t the weakling ask allies to help? Because they can’t stand him and will NOT do it.

Man did Obama look old today. This is the same guy who hung around the White House till the Senate Passed the Health Kill Bill but he was furious at being disturbed from his vacation by a Terror Attack. There is an old saying CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR YOU MIGHT JUST GET IT. Seems Obama’s desire for control of this country’s Health Care has dominated his entire agenda and now we watch as the bill which Obama thought would be his legacy is instead becoming his downfall.
December 29th, 2009 | 6:27 am | #51
Those who voted for Obama ignored the fact that he was an inexperienced politician whose claim to fame was being a “community organizer” (i.e., someone who merely talks for a living, is always politically correct, and doesn’t create jobs but looks for handouts). Despite his denials, he did in fact associate for years with extreme-left people like Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers. So should anyone be surprised that he turned out to be just another far-left, self-absorbed, speechifying partisan?
December 29th, 2009 | 6:31 am | #52
