TEHRAN, Iran - Shots were fired Monday at a rally by pro-reform presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, apparently by pro-government militia.

An AP photographer said militia fired at the opposition protesters, killing at least on person.

"There has been sporadic shooting out there ... I can see people running here," added a reporter of Iran's English-language Press TV.

Maybe he’s sending re-enforcements?

What exactly do you want Obama to do? If he openly encourages the protesters, that could backfire as they would be labeled as tools of the US.

I think being quiet publicly is the best way to go. We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. Let’s keep our powder dry and see what shakes out.

"Zero really just does not care about foreign policy, only czars, bailouts, programs and other forms of domestic dependancy."

You forgot one: himself.
The *beard* & baffoon-Biden tell the attuned that much.

"The rest of the world is not on his radar."

Not to worry, soon the rest of the world will be.

"The only real foreign policy time he gives is to say we are sorry and going home and the world cheers."

So far, yea; but, don't forget the infamous quote from the dumbo-eared imbecile, either. "You haven't seen nothing, yet."
I swear that one left me with a tingle in my anus.

THEN there's Biden's infamous quote {paraphrased}: "Many of you sitting here today won't be so enthusiastic in 6 months when Obama has to make a tough, unpopular decision." ;^)

Timing's everything, and, we're right around the 6 month mark as promised.
Yet another spasm.

I want him to assure the American people that he is aware of the dangers of our own country drifting away from its roots.

Would you guys get off Obama’s back, he’s out golfing, can’t a guy have some fun. I mean, it’s not like he could take to the microphone and encourage the Iranian people to overthrow our #1 enemy. I mean, there are only 10’s of thousands in the street right now, there will be other opportunities. /sarc

If that happened here, it would be a lot different. Americans have guns, lots of guns.

I had a feeling they were about to implement the “Chinese solution” when they kicked all foreign journos out of the country. Sad really...but what will the regular Army do? That’s an open question, because when the SAVAK pulled a stunt like this...before long, the Shah was fleeing the country.

That’s what dictators do to those who oppose them. Remember a few years ago when Hugo Chavez had his goons fire into crowds, killing those who protested against him? The Iranian nut job is doing what Hugo did. No doubt Obama is watching to see how they’ve done it so he will know how to do it to Americans.

No doubt. One student I’ve been following hasn’t updated in seven hours. I really don’t think they were expecting this kind of action from NutJob.

The only difference will be that Facebook and Twitter will delete opposition profiles and reports.
