Change! Iranian Speaker Blasts Obama For Interfering in Iranian Affairs

So much for that unclenched fist approach.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani blasted Barack Obama for interfering with internal Iranian affairs earlier today.
Iran Press TV reported:
Addressing the parliament on Tuesday, Ali Larijani said that Iran was not surprised about the stance that Washington and London had taken towards the anti-government protests, which were held during Sunday’s Shia Muslim ceremonies of Ashura.
According to Tehran chief prosecutor general Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi, seven people were killed in the clashes that broke out between security forces and demonstrators in Tehran on Sunday.
The Tehran police headquarters said that the police forces neither used violence nor fired a single bullet on Sunday.
“US and British officials’ disgraceful comments about the sacrilegious events of Ashura are so disgustingly vivid that they clarify where this movement stands when it comes to destroying religious and Revolutionary values,” Ali Larijani said.
“Israel’s restlessness and its covert efforts to secure more Western aide for these sacrilegious movements has worsened the political situation. The anxiety of royal Wahhabi media has also caused an especially big scandal,” he added.
Larijani also singled out US President Barack Obama’s defense of Sunday’s anti-government protests and said that his reactions was a “gift from God” that would prevent any “naive interpretations” about a possible shift in US policy.
“Washington’s behavior during the past few months was nothing but an opportunist attempt to harm the national interest of Muslim Iranians.
“That goes for its childish interference in our internal affairs and its duplicitous gestures on the nuclear issue,” he said.
After the Sunday protests, Obama condemned what he called “Iran’s crackdown on protesters” and called for the release of the people who were detained.
“We call for the immediate release of all who have been unjustly detained within Iran,” Obama said on Monday in Hawaii, where he is on vacation.
Obama said that the US will support protesters during the “extraordinary events.”

Obamao never made much of a statement, as far as I’m concerned. That includes the kinda-sorta-supporting-the-citizens statement he finally spit between his lying snake lips last. And he sure as hell hasn’t said squat about Iran’s nukes.
In response to Obamao’s lukewarm blah blah blah teleprompter readings (just some noise to avoid an awkard silence), his brethren in Iraq get their turbans in a twist because of his interfering in their bidness on behalf of the US. To top it all off, they cry, “It’s Booosh’s- uh, I mean – It’s Israaaaellll’s fault!”
It’s like watching an episode of Jerry Springer or spending Thanksgiving weekend with a disfunctional family of lying drama queens.

Somehow, for some reason, I have the image of the dismembered Knight (Monty Python’s In Search of the Holy Grail movie) crying out “Come back here, I’ll bite your kneecaps off.”
Yup, that’s BO, alright.

I just hope that my contact “L” remainds safe and can continue to give me information about what the regime is doing. She’s right in the thick of things, so please pray for her and everyone there.

That is laughable.

If obama was just a little smart (I know. I know…..), he’d interrupt his golf game long enough to issue – even at this late date – a statement expressing support for and approval of the struggle of the Iranian people for Freedom.
The regime couldn’t think any less of him than they do now; and the “nuclear negotiations” couldn’t be any worse off.
On the other hand, it would be a voice that the Iranian military wants to hear – and might just give them the final push necessary to switch their support completely from the mullahs to the people (as they have threatened to do). Once that happens, the regime is finished and the only thing left is to watch the mullahs fight for seats on the last planes out – and the mopping up of the basij forces.
If he supported the people, obama would find that the nuclear negotiations would go a lot smoother with the new leaders; we might have an ally against the taliban and al queda and a buffer against them; and terrorist bombings and other incidents would diminish drastically in Iraq.
Since obama won’t even make that gesture, though, he’ll have blown an opportunity. A once in a lifetime opportunity to actually effect positive world change.
Typical.

HA! The little o gave a talk of “Flaccid words, meaningless words” (Charles Krauthammer) and now the Iranian regime is upset??
I thought that they understood that when he flaps his lips, all that comes out is hot CO2.
Well, maybe that’s ok that they are upset. Keep their eyes off of what Israel is doing!
How many of you think Israel is planning an attack on Iran – or maybe they are helping the freedom fighters!
What a boon it would be to have another free democratic nation in the Middle East!
