Michael Totten keeps up the excellent run down on the Iranian situation – including the encouraging report that the regular Army is staying out of it…but the Mullahs have forces (Revolutionary Guards, foreign thugs, etc) to keep the people down. Bottom line, unless at least some of the Army goes over to the people, the Iranian regime will gain control of the situation. Here is a heart-rending quote:
One comment from a reader claiming to be in Tehran struck us all today. A translation follows:
“I am in Tehran. Its 3:40 in the morning. I’ve connected with you [by hacking past the government filter]. It’s a big mess here. People are yelling from their houses – ‘death to the dictator.’ They are setting up a military government. No one dares to go out. No one has seen Mousavi today. Rumor has it that they have arrested him. I don’t have an email but I will contact you again.
Help us.”
The comment begs a critical question: How do we help the Iranian people during this tumultuous time?
How, indeed? By promising the Army that we’ll provide whatever is needed if they’ll overthrow the current Iranian regime and allow a genuine poll of the Iranian people to select a new government. Will Obama do it? I doubt it – he’ll still be wondering just when he should start “engaging” again…and a supreme opportunity in the War on Terror will pass us by.

Caucus of Corruption
During the George W. Bush Administration, Colin Powell publicly stated that the United States would support a revolution in Iraq.
I wonder if the Obama Administration has the backbone to echo such a commitment and then to follow through.
After all, it would require running the risk of alienating SOMEONE.
But I guess he could always blame Bush later, as the original promise originated in his administration, and the RRL has already invested itself in the whine that all they are doing is CONTINUING what Bush started. (So much for “change”…) And then he could apologize……….
Sorry—”..support a revolution in IRAN…”
barry oblunder? support the cause of FREEDOM?
HAHAAA@@!!!
good one amazona
this struggle is truely a struggle for freedom from the oppression of the islamic theocrat’s in iran…and the price of that freedom is high…yet….they say over 1 million people have showed up at protests, and its only just begun…
During the George W. Bush Administration, Colin Powell publicly stated that the United States would support a revolution in Iraq.
Gee, amazona, I wonder if Colin Powell, big “Republican” supporter of DA Earbama, will advise Earbama about supporting a revolution in Iran.
Don’t hold your breath; DA will probalbly send Hitlery over there to “engage…”
Jabber, jabber, jabber and yet no constructive solution from the peanut gallery.
“By promising the Army that we’ll provide whatever is needed if they’ll overthrow the current Iranian regime and allow a genuine poll of the Iranian people to select a new government”
This all made with the assumption that the army is against Ahmadinejad. Right now, I doubt anyone in the American public has that knowledge. Hopefully we have some kind of intelligence that is yet to be revealed that would support this approach. Of course, we could go ahead without good intelligence and then Obama would have the peanut gallery on his side.
