Clear plea to USA not to abandon the oppressed people and support the bloodthirsty Mullahs

Sides are being drawn.

Guess which side 0bama will choose.

Text of good speech by the late Shah’s son at Irvine University May 6th

[Islaminaction]

The problem with Reza is that he does not have strong leadership qualities like his father did.

[PhilDragoo]

Therefore, my suggestion is that, far from being either self assured or strong, the kind of costly aggressive policies which the clerical regime has pursued – whether in support of their surrogates in places like Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq or Afghanistan, or those which they have pursued in defiance of the UN Security Council in their dangerous search for nuclear weapons – are clear manifestations of the kind of insecurity that any unpopular regime feels when it knows that is hated by a vast majority of its own people.

[TomasUSMC]

At least Iran didn’t have nukes when Carter gave it to the Ayatollah, Pakistan could have its nukes taken by the taliban geezs. I bet the North Koreans are send their techs over as we speak.

Thanks FARS! Reza II. takes no prisoners.

Iran Ping!

If President Obama’s objective from direct engagementwith Iran is to use diplomatic channels to persuade the Iranian regime to change some of its key controversial policies such as its nuclear ambitions or its various negative regional interferences, then as we have already witnessed in recent weeks, he is in for a big surprise. In fact, it is the Iranian leadership which is calling the shots and asking for the US to change its behavior, before they sit down to talk!

The true result of "dialogue without preconditions." There really are preconditions, but it's the Mullahs who establish preconditions for the U.S., while they continue with their own agenda.

Time to bring back the "duck and cover" drills.

"Clear plea to USA not to abandon the oppressed people and support the bloodthirsty Mullahs"

The people overthrew the Shah.
Those same people can overthrow any Mullah or Mullahs also, when they have had enough.

Looks to me it'll have to be the people, too. O'Bummer's not going to do a thing save for taking credit for anything positive that may transpire in the region along the way. As usual.

I do know this:
Unless people PAY dearly for their liberty?
It'll never come nor will it last when it does arrive.
Oppressors have this nasty, consistent habit of never *giving* liberty away for free.
Moreover once liberty has been secured?
Holding on to liberty's harder then winning it.

What's happening here in the USDA is a piss poor example to any others around the world insofar how one holds on to hard won liberties others secured for them.

Any advise from USA's citizens on that account would be so hollow & meaningless as to be outright laughable.
Iranians et al are in the unique historic position of demonstrating to Americans that which they average American has long ago forgotten.

Bingo Reza! At least someone will call it lie it is. Pahlavi/Palin 2012!
