Its just getting worse by the day – is there any depth he won’t go to? Will there come a point when he won’t crawl before our enemies? From NRO:
I’ve got to say, even for the Obama administration, this is a real shocker.
The Clinton State Department has decided to cut off all funding for the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center (IHRDC), which was compiling lists of protestors imprisoned in this summer’s unrest, as well as those who were killed in the crackdown.
IHRDC is what human-rights advocates should be: methodical, precise, and apolitical in their work. And yet, the Obama administration has, without explanation, cut off all federal funding to the group which has consistently fulfilled its mandate.
Anyone, across the political spectrum who has any interest in human rights in Iran keeps the IHRDC reports on their desks.
Why is he doing it:
From the link within the quote:
…Obama officials have argued publicly for a less-confrontational approach than Bush, in the belief that the Bush administration’s vocal support for democracy activists made them targets in Iran and stirred up fears of regime change.
Obama, you bloody fool! Idiot! Dunce! You want them to be afraid of regime change – its the only dratted way to get bloodthirsty thugs to listen to you.
For crying out loud, ditch this insane mantra that we’re hated because of Bush or because of what we’ve done – we’re hated for what we are.
UPDATE: And he goes along with the Islamists and assorted tyrants in a new, UN “human rights” declaration which calls for restrictions on freedom of speech…geesh!
