TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran's powerful Guardian Council is ready to recount specific ballot boxes in last week's disputed presidential elections, a council spokesman said Tuesday, another twist in an election that has touched off widespread protests.
State television quoted Abbas Ali Kadkhodaei as saying that the recount would be limited to voting sites where candidates claim irregularities took place. It was not clear which or how many voting sites would be affected.

It's getting increasingly difficult to distinguish between the ayatollahs and the Democrats when it comes to elections.

Yeah, but it’ll be real easy to tell the difference between US and the Iranian *people* when we finally get fed up enough to take it to the streets.
More gunfire for example. If you know what I mean.
“limited”?
Sounds strangely familiar.
Oh, Lordie...Some Democrat talking head on the news had the brass to draw a comparison between this election dispute and the Bush/Gore thing. Well, yeah...they ARE similar...the corrupt people in power only want to count the areas that are probably going to fall their way.
At least the news was reporting the protests today. Our local NBC affiliate was reporting that 7 protesters were killed and that several hundred thousand were protesting.

All this talk about ayatollahs.
Do they really run Iran?
Read a book sometime ago by ex-CIA guy and Dim apologist Robert Baer called The Enemy We Know. His account of the Republican Guards is chilling: equal parts mafia, gestapo, democratic party machine, and union pension fund. No sector of commercial or public life in Iran free from their control.
They’re the ones with the guns.
Baer suggests that the Iranians have more in common with the aggressively expansionist Persian empire than with the modern islamic state — as if that should make any difference. He concludes we must negotiate with them.
KEEP FIGHTING!
The “Fix” is still in.
