Patriot Room ^ | June 21, 2009 | Bill Dupray

If the people believe the election results are accurate, even if they disagree with the outcome, and Lord knows many Americans disagree with our outcome in November, you will almost never see this violence.

Interesting. I wonder what day this happened. Obviously, the regime cannot last if the people are making the security forces run away.

I don’t think the military is going to side with Ahmadinejad much longer. The military is meant to protect the people, and the government has become an enemy to the people.

I believe that spelling is soon obsolete. The new spelling may be Ineedajob.

It didn’t look like they had any then, but gasoline makes a great weapon (Molotov cocktails from a roof) and sabotage is a great weapon against a dictatorship. They cannot guard everything.

Interesting to watch this crowd of young Iranians build their courage, while the security forces lost theirs.

No Molotov cocktails, which is surprising, but with more civilian deaths it will come. The ebb and flow of revolution is in macro what was played out in this video. The people pushed and fell back until enough of them pushed forward and pushed again to reach critical mass.

There will come a time with the security forces are afraid to shoot for fear of being overwhelmed and killed in retaliation. At that point the current regime will flee. I hope they reach that point soon.

To be a sound defeat, they need to drag the Islamists into the streets and kill them. Where will these Shia mullahs run to? Even Western Europe will likely say no now. I suppose North Korea is an option for them, if they bring enough money.

Election 2000 would not have been that violent but there sure appears to me that the Democrats wanted it to be at least equal to our most violent race riots -- then the MSM and Democrats could demand that Bush yield to "the will of the people," a very common phrase used in the MSM at the time.

From David Frums Diary, NOV. 19, 2002: GORE SPEAKS, based upon an ABC interview. The words are by Karenna Gore.

And my dad, I'll never forget his response. He said, "We have to do what's best for the country, and it is not good for the country to have this kind of divisiveness. And he was on the phone, really calling off the dogs. There were people who wanted to fan the ... the flames of the racial issue and have real unrest. And he was on the phone asking them not to, because of what was best for the country not because of what was best for him politically. And that's really who he is. [end excerpt]

Lee Rodgers (KSFO) asked Mr. Frums about this, was it true? Frums did not remember that particular column and promised to check on it. I do not know if he ever reported back to Mr. Rodgers.

If so, that’s the final straw for the brutal mullahs and their corrupt government. This could still evolve to that too. But however it ends now, the mullahs have lost any credibility with the world, except for Obama who hasn’t had an unkind word yet to say about these benighted brutes.

Watching the video, the only 'arms' carried by the gov goons were batons, mace, and shields. They didn't engage hand-to-hand and ran away when the crowd surged forward.

The murderous blood thirsty mullahs will set a trapo for these brave souls, sooner or later, to end this sort of cowering the gov goons. Tyrants cannot stay atop a nation without threat of death and internment.

we must have 100’s of 1000’s of AK , and all sort of other small arms , confiscated and warehoused next door in Iraq .
This is the time to pay back the Mullahs for all those IED they have sent into Iraq . We should be sending these already . Openly air dropping them if necessary

Militaries protect who pays them.
