Opposition leaders court arrest by defying 'unlawful Iranian regime'

Forced from the streets by the security forces, Mr Mousavi’s supporters are also preparing a campaign of civil disobedience. They are talking of strikes, boycotting goods advertised in the state-controlled media, moving their money out of government-controlled banks, and giving money directly to the needy instead of government-controlled charities.

Analysts say the people’s anger will grow, not fade, and could suddenly erupt at football matches, prayer meetings or anywhere else that large numbers of people gather. They say that opposition supporters will go underground and stage lightning demonstrations. They also expect some elements to start launching violent attacks on government targets at some point.

In a possible sign of the regime’s anxiety Mr Ahmadinejad abruptly cancelled a visit to Libya for an African Union summit today.

I have posted previously that without organization, leadership, and structure their most passionate and courageous resistance was doomed.

A trained, disciplined, well led and armed Army or paramilitary unit will beat a disorganized, confused and undirected mob about every single time.

It’s about time that they got their act together and went underground; hopefully now they can put together a viable resistance movement.

We used to send our Special Ops Sneaks in to places like that to show them how it’s done - but that obviously ain’t happinin’ with our Obambi’s support clearly behind the Ayatolla and his Mullahs in stead.

They are probably on their own, unless they are willing to swallow their Islamic pride a little and team up with the Moussad. Those people know how to get down and dirty, don’t you know?

It would certainly be in Israel’s best interests to neutralize the current regime in Iran from within - and a mutual interest with the Iranian People at that, ironically enough.

With a little covert IDF logistical, training, and material support the Iranian People’s resistance just might stand a chance.

Whatever it takes though; the Iranian People had better take their Country back before AchmaweenieWhackJob launches a nuke at Israel, or most if not all of them will be vaporized or incinerated when the “Sampson Option” is activated.

I for one would hate to see that happen; I’m beginning to really like and respect those brave people standing up for Freedom over there despite overwhelming odds, and pray for their safety and success.

Come 2010 when (not ‘if’) ACORN & Komrades steal the U.S. election, we may need to have a few of them sneak over here and show US how it’s done!
