A commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards has been arrested for refusing to obey Iran's Supreme Leader, according to reports from the Balatarin.

General Ali Fazli, who was recently appointed as a commander of the Revolutionary Guards in the province of Tehran, is reported to have been arrested after he refused to carry out orders from the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei to use force on people protesting the controversial re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Fazli, a veteran of the devastating Iran-Iraq war is also believed to have been sacked and taken to an unknown location.

The Revolutionary Guards is a separate body to the mainstream armed forces in Iran and is seen as one of the main and most powerful bodies responsible for protecting the Islamic theocratic regime.

Earlier today the Revolutionary Guards issued a warning on its website threatening to come down hard on Iranians who continue protesting against what many in the country see as rigged elections

Freedom has always been fought for by the minority for the benefit of the majority.

Yup, just imagine what havok would ensue if just 100 of the protesters in Tehran had the rifle that the average deer hunter in the US has, with a scope on it. Ouch from a few hundred yards x 100.

“Three years?” I’m more inclined to say 3-6 months! He’s going to pull some kind of stunt or go for our guns, sooner rather than later. He knows that only a disarmed populace is controllable.

[Bobalu]

Man, those would be perfect, especially if they came with some sort of armor piercing rounds to be sure and go through the body armor some of the thug troops in Iran have on. Add in a few million Sten Guns for good measure!

We are watching this very closely. It usually only takes a small minority to make big social change. Martin Luther King, fax loving East Germans and Gandhi come to mind. (of course, it took the whole free world to blast Hitler out of office...)

Interesting times we live in...

[meadsjn]

American Patriots need to watch this play out.
It could happen this way in 3 years.

Or three months, or three weeks, or even three days.

We are hanging by a very thin thread.

[April Lexington]

We have already been taken over . Most Americans were too “busy” to even notice , they voted for the enemy. Too many folks caught up in TV soaps and dancing with the stars to react to the soft take over of the USA.

Just wait until the American Idiot class figures out that their jobs are gone, their savings are gone, their houses are worth less than their mortgages and credit card companies have cut them off because nobody wants to buy the securitiezed debt. Oh, and their doctors all quit. THEN they will rise up in glorious revolution.... or something...

[April Lexington]

My goodness this couldn’t be a WORSE TIME to have a clueless President in regards to foreign policy.

The Clueless One is boxed in.Suni vs. Shiia. They've been at each others throats for centuries. Obama bowed and paid homage to the King of Saudi Arabia, the Suni leader. Then he went to Cairo and gave his speech. That speech emboldened the revolutionaries in Iran to challenge the Shiite leaders. This is TWO slaps in the face of Shiite Islam. Obama has chosen sides and the Mullahs know darn well that Obama is a Suni. If Obama supports the revolutionaries in Iran, he further enrages the Shiite leadership. Obama may end up hiding in Salmon Rushdie's basement!!! If Obama supports Dinnerjacket and the Mullahs, the rest of the world concludes he's nuts! BWAHAHAHAHA!

The nice thing about America is that we really don't have to riot in the streets (white America, anyway). We can just go to the polls in November of 2010 and kick every last one of our elected leaders out. There is still time to declare one’s candidacy for the congressional elections in 2010. Our revolution will be my voting booth and heaven help ACORN and any other DOMESTIC TERRORIST GROUP who stands in the way of the honest American voter.

LOL, you just had to follow the link back to what he was commenting about.

[meadsjn]

“That’s good news!” And then the zen master said, “Well, we’ll see.”

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Yes, this is what is called a Tragedy!

A heartbreaking tragedy.

I believe it was the Polish uprsing where we sent in fax machines and copiers...the “twitters” of those days.
The idiot in charge at the White HOuse has a conference on sunday with his advisors for half an hour..then on to golf.

We have an open window in an almost impossible situation just a few weeks ago and this Moron blows it! so much for the 3am call.

Interesting. Saudis don’t want a strong shiite Iran, neither do they want a secular Iran. They want a weak Iran. humm

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Woah, this is significant.

[Karliner]

This can't end pretty. Iran and Islam in general have too much to lose should even miliions riot. Remember the iran/iraq war. These mullah's still have the arms and power. I pray for the brave persian people standing up against sheer odds of being murdered down the line.

Hussein O zero said it's not our fight basically, wimp that he is, kind of tough when he has his own Islam showing they really can't even have peace between themselves.....of course "we're the only peaceful'muslim nation," because ironically Omamazero, we're styill grounded in judeo-Christian doctrine and despite what you tell them and despite how you lie to your own people( supposed to be us) the fighters of Persia, the true revolutionaries need our help, but they're not going to get it, just like we left the Kurds and israel in the breeze....this isn't East/West Germany, this is way more dangerous.

Seems You Tube really hates seeing Islam in this light, doesn't CAIR and other Islamic groups have this "truth" pulled? This reminds me of my first time around college during the 444 days Shah, Persian spies on ersian spies, our spies, journalists harrassed, frozen accounts and Persians dealing hard drugs to keep their good families studying engineering( probably some of the guys working on the nuke plant(s)) and religious studies...probably the mullahs with the guns.

Meanwhile our jackass president has no words of encouragement. This is where 0bama’s fortunes start heading downhill. Everyone can see what a cynical little wise guy he is

[magooey]

How can it be "what many in the country see as a rigged election" when they admitted that there were more votes cast in 11 cities than they had voters.

Maybe that's why Obama refuses to properly condemn the Iranian government. They use Chicago voting techniques. /sarc

[Texas Fossil]

“They use Chicago voting techniques. /sarc “

Sarcasm tag not needed, it is fact.

He thinks he is the Hidden Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, “The Guided One.”

He is a Lying Kenyan Commie Muzzie.

I have been shot at, shit at, and fortunately missed most of the time, now in the 4th quarter of my life I can think of little that scares me in defending my family and the way of life that America has given me...and I refuse to surrender zero...you have an old man pizzed with your actions..
