A source from the Ministry of Interior said that the real results were 42 million votes for Mousavi, and only 5.6 million for Ahmadinejad. Iran's Militant Clerics Society has called for the vote to be annulled and a new election held.

And I have never seen any evidence, nor personally believed, that the nuclear program did not have popular support. The people may want freedom but they also want Iranian nuke. And that can’t happen.

Sure it can. Out of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, three are free and two are not. All have nukes.

The French, for instance, are free and have nukes. If the Iranians are free and have nukes, then how are they different than France, or worse than, say, China?

I believe that while most want nuclear energy, a pro-Western goverment would be more interested in stabilizing it’s position internally and internationally by ending the nuclear arms program.

From my knowledge of Iranians, they agree that many there support nuclear energy, but not necessairly nuclear weapons. This is why the regime itself is peddling the propaganda line that they are only defending their right to peaceful nuclear energy.

I think a hopefully soon freed Iran, has higher priorities than having that nuclear arms issue standing in their way.

But I fully understand the Israeli position that it wants the nuclear arms issue off the table ASAP. This is a delicate situation right now, and Obama is doing nothing to make it any better.

If true, it suggests that the “powers that be” may have decided that it is necessary to forego amateur election-rigging and re-do the process in a more “professional” manner. I don’t expect that a “new” election will be anything more than a sprucing up of pre-ordained political decisions in a manner more attractive to the public.

Hope what?

That the iranian Mollahcracy fails....

Libnuts seem to assume that Mussavi could change something foundamentally in the iranian policy...
But anyway i thought that OBAMAO wanted to talk with Amadinejad .He has been telling and repeating that for months

Ummm..., I would rather have “Ima-nut-job” in office, instead of the other so-called moderate guy.

I like Ahmadinejad embarrassing the Europeans with his threats to annihilate the nation of Israel and wipe out the Jews with another Holocaust. It’s so much better to have that kind of a contrast for those nut-jobs in Europe, instead of a weasel-weenie type that many are saying that they would prefer to “Ima-nut-job”... LOL...

You said — And Little Hitler will have them beheaded first.

Well, hell! They’ve already arrested Rafsanjani and it’s said that he won’t be “getting out alive” either, but will be executed by the Mullahs.

Couldn’t happen to a better guy, since he was involved in the hostage-taking of Americans, many years ago.

So, I’m cheering on “Ima-nut-job” Ahmadinejad, so that he can clear out some other Iranian nuts, too... LOL...

You were quoting Bolton — “the extremist builds nuclear weapons and announces his intentions to destroy Israel... while the moderate builds nuclear weapons and is smart enough to keep his mouth shut about his intentions to destroy Israel.”

And that’s why I’m super glad that Ahmadinejad “won” the election by hook or crook..., couldn’t be a better result in my mind... :-)

Iran is predominantly Muslim. Muslims with nukes, free or not, is generally a bad thing.

“What’s the difference between an American voter and an Iranian one?

The Iranian voter recognizes a rigged election.”

AND is willing to actually do something about it.

I heard the Iranian equivalent of ACORN is throwing Iranian protesters in jail by the hundreds, while that moron in the White House says he considers such behavior a “robust debate”

They are smarter than the American voter and the American news media then.

CNN is showing Nutjob’s press conference live now.

Nutjob has obliquely admitted that he’s having the opposition leaders & protesters arrested.

It would seem like a stretch unless you had been following the Iran election protests and reports from yesterday on alternative media...

Good point.
How fraudulent was America’s election last November?
What with dead folks and Acorn?
Also wait for the census with Acorn and the dems steeling non existent voters for extra clout.
