LET US THEN HAVE TWO REGIME CHANGES TO BANISH ISLAMOFASCISM

The BBC is reporting that clashes are continuing into Monday morning between protesters and the regime security forces in Tehran and perhaps other cities, marking the first decisive failure of the basij paramilitary to control the streets by early morning of the day of a big demonstration. The number of protesters allegedly killed by security men rose to 9, with dozens wounded and 300 persons allegedly arrested.
This video is allegedly from Monday morning and shows protesters freeing others taken prisoner in a basij van:
The chanting on Sunday turned against Ayatollah Ali Khamenei himself, not just against President Ahmadinejad. He was castigated as the Dictator and as worse than the old shah, and the very ideological basis of the regime, the doctrine of clerical rule, was chanted against in the streets. The legitimacy of the regime, profoundly shaken by the events since early June's presidential election, is now being shredded further.
Another remarkable dimension of Sunday's events was the sheer number of cities where significant rallies and clashes occurred. Some of those allegedly killed are said to have fallen in Tabriz, a northwestern metropolis near Turkey. Even conservative cities such as Isfahan and Mashhad joined in. Shiraz, Ardabil, the list goes on. The attempt of some analysts to paint the disturbances as a shi-shi North Tehran thing has clearly foundered.
The most ominous sign of all for the regime is the reports of security men refusing orders to fire into the crowd.

Iranian protesters for freedom, we don’t have time for you, our Dear 0 is out playing golf.
Try rebelling in another 3 years or so. Very busy.
Keep a watch out for what the Army does.
And just like President Ronald Reagan, who stood with the brave people of Poland and Afghanistan against their oppressive regimes, so President Barak Obama, today...
Oh, wait... let me start that over...
And just like Nero, who fiddled while Rome burned, so President Barak Obama, today, got in another round of golf.
“Iranian protesters for freedom, we don’t have time for you, our Dear 0 is out playing golf.”
Is it likley Obama would do anything to support the overthrow of this regime if he did get involved? Unfortunately, they stand a better chance if he doesn’t.
Read the whole Blog Post. Fascinating. Hope most Freepers get to read this.
Problem is this is from Juan Cole. Most of us lost all respect for him during the Iraq war.
And the great zero remains silent. He’s probably crapping in his mess kit thinking his terrorist butt buddies are going to lose control of Iran.
Hope this report is true. Keep going, Iranian people! Kick the slugs out!
Regardless of opinion about Cole, the points made in the post, stand on their own logic and corroborating facts.
The right for Citizens to own and carry guns is very important
anyone care to bet that if the Iranians overthrow the government that Obama won’t take credit for it?
Not only are the mullahs tyrants, the specter of thermonuclear incineration has the people between a rock and a anvil.

You got the name a bit wrong it’s Oba-Hussein-Khomeini, everyone should use the name.
