Iranian Cartoonists Mock Obama's Weak Stand Against Killer Regime
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, December 30, 2009, 10:18 AM
Planet Iran reported tonight that the regime has rounded up and arrested several reporters, women’s activists, and freedom activists today.
Iranian cartoonist, Nikahang Kosar drew the below cartoon after Obama’s soft words condemning the evil regime yesterday:
Obama: We condemn the oppression of the protesters – - – - – - Ahmadinejad: Yeah and then?
Here’s another cartoon posted at Rooz Online:
The Iranian freedom protesters said it best. They chanted Obama’s name in an earlier freedom protest:
“Obama, Obama, Are you with the regime or with us?”
UPDATE: According to Iranian human rights activists, on Sunday in Tehran, a number of Tehrani citizens within the city of College intersection were shot by regime mercenaries. At least seven citizens died and many were injured.
After a protest at Kalej Bridge. The man was shot by an anti-riot police’s pellet gun. (Iran Press News)

Sadly, Obama is for himself. Not for freedom, Not for Americans, Not for Liberty.

A Fighting Chance… In Massachusetts??
By PoliPundit ~ December 29th, 2009 @ 5:15 pm 2 Comments »
There’s a special election for Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat on January 19. The Democrat candidate, Attorney General Martha Coakley, is the presumptive frontrunner against underdog GOP State Senator Scott Brown.
But, if the results of the November 2009 elections are anything to go by, Brown has a fighting chance. To refresh your memory:
Obama ‘08 Margin Dem ‘09 Margin Change
Virginia +6 -18 -24
New Jersey +15 -4 -19
NY-23 +5 -2* -7
CA-10 +31 +10 -21
Note in particular the Obama +31 seat in CA-10.
Now assuming a similar 20-point swing in Massachusetts, and the fact that Obama won the state by 26 points in 2008, Brown would be just 6 points behind Coakley.
Add in the fact that it’s a special election, and Obama’s (and Obamacare’s) popularity has been dropping since November, Brown could just make this a close race…
We need a poll to confirm this.

That bottom picture? Pellet gun? That sure looks like the kid was hit by birdshot from fairly long range. A regime thug with a pellet gun would have had to take hours to do that many holes.
Shotgun, not pellet gun.

I really become disappointed when I see the ignorance of people (Iranians, Americans,and the whole world).The religion has always been misused and abused by a bunch of crooks in the history of human-being. The industrial countries try to use Islam to suppress a third world country like Iran and on the other side the iranian crooks are applying the damned rules of Islam to exploit the people more in this hellish country with the help of backward Iranians who know nothing about anything. I hope the situation changes and some intellectual Iranians take over and say Death to Isalm and all the religions in the world. Death to stupid Iranians and and Americans and Europeans equally. Americans are not better than Iranians either. The American politicians have brought up this man (Obama) to give a different face to America.How stupid a nation must be to buy in to the skin color of this man…..
So while I wait for a more advanced generation of human-being I’d prefer to repeat “Death to Isalm and the stupidity of human being no matter where he is from”

Peter,
Your right. Probably #6 birdshot at 30-40 yards, out of a 12 gauge modified choke, without much doubt.
All that would be needed to prove it would be his approval and a pair of tweezers with which to extract one of those shot..

Asskiss media is still flogging the lie that the Blowhard will win back the respect of foreigners. Whether it be the leadership of Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, North Korea or any of various terrorist groups, events have shown that these leaders smell weakness and are taking every advantage of it.

Weakening Islamism is Vital to Improve US Image in the Muslim world
12/23/09; By Tawfik Hamid
[In the December 1, 2009 issue of the WSJ Europe, Fouad Ajami - in an Op-Ed entitled "The Arabs Have Stopped Applauding Obama" - argued that President Obama's diplomatic approach to win the hearts and minds of the Muslim world has not been successful. Poll results have shown that unfavorable views of the US are as high as 82%, 69 %, and 70% in the Palestinian territories, Turkey, and Egypt respectively. In fact, the Op-Ed stated that unfavorable views of the US in Pakistan have risen from 63% in 2008 to 68% in 2009 according to a recent Pew survey.
In addition, after President Obama came to office in 2009, the number of home-grown Islamist terror plots inside the US has risen dramatically compared to the previous years. The Year of 2009 represents the highest level of domestic home-grown Islamic radicalism in the US since 2001.
We must question why President Obama's approach with the Muslim world has not succeeded yet in at least having a more positive effect in improving the US image in several Muslim countries or in decreasing the rate of home-grown Islamic radicalism on the home front. One of the main reasons for this lack of success is that US strategic communications with the Muslim world was largely based on the assumption that the problem of Islamic Radicalism and hatred to America is primarily because of the US foreign policy with the Muslim world and thus changing this policy will change the latter. This can only work if the main problem was in the US approach; however, if the main problem was in the Muslim world, such an approach cannot succeed as it will be like trying to change the keys to open a room while the problem is in the rusty lock! In the latter situation, changing the lock - or in other words changing the Muslim world itself - is crucial to solving the problem.
[..]
Trying to satisfy the Muslim world by changing the US will not be effective unless the US is ready to end its values of freedom and liberty and adopt an Islamic Sharia system.
[..]
In this context, it is also important to raise the point that the Muslim world is in far greater need than the US to improve its image in the world as its image has been painted by terrorism and barbarism especially in the last few years.
In brief, no matter what the non-Islamic world does – short of submitting to the Islamic Sharia – the Islamists will never be satisfied completely. The US must either change itself to adopt an Islamic system to satisfy the Muslim world or alternatively assist in changing the latter. Weakening the Islamism phenomenon is vital to ultimately improve the image of the US in the Muslim world as Islamism is currently a – if not the – major obstacle to enhancing the US image among Muslims]
re: “The Arabs Have Stopped Applauding Obama”
11/29/09; By FOUAD AJAMI
[Mr. Obama's election has not drained the swamps of anti-Americanism. That anti-Americanism is endemic to this region, an alibi and a scapegoat for nations, and their rulers, unwilling to break out of the grip of political autocracy and economic failure. It predated the presidency of George W. Bush and rages on during the Obama presidency.
We had once taken to the foreign world that quintessential American difference—the belief in liberty, a needed innocence to play off against the settled and complacent ways of older nations. The Obama approach is different.
Steeped in an overarching idea of American guilt, Mr. Obama and his lieutenants offered nothing less than a doctrine, and a policy, of American penance. No one told Mr. Obama that the Islamic world, where American power is engaged and so dangerously exposed, it is considered bad form, nay a great moral lapse, to speak ill of one's own tribe when in the midst, and in the lands, of others.
The crowd may have applauded the cavalier way the new steward of American power referred to his predecessor, but in the privacy of their own language they doubtless wondered about his character and his fidelity. "My brother and I against my cousin, my cousin and I against
the stranger," goes one of the Arab world's most honored maxims. The stranger who came into their midst and spoke badly of his own was destined to become an object of suspicion.
Mr. Obama could not make up his mind: He was at one with "the people" and with the rulers who held them in subjugation. The people of Iran who took to the streets this past summer were betrayed by this hapless diplomacy—Mr. Obama was out to "engage" the terrible rulers that millions of Iranians were determined to be rid of. ]
DO YOU THINK THERE IS A PRAYER THAT
OBAMA & THE MSM ET AL WILL WAKE UP??
nah, they are the ones they’ve been waiting for, they are the ones making sure an IslaMarxist Jihad hastens America’s demise.. the allied fools that they be are totally focused on their Muhammad & Marx tree.. which will bloom to fruition we shall have to wait & see, but in the end it matters not, as either one kills the forest of liberty..

On the Job Training
12/30/09; M. Zuhdi Jasser
It is sad that President Obama and his team are still going through on-the-job training a year into their administration. Despite the fact that Janet Napolitano, our homeland-security secretary, bizarrely tried to nix the use of the term terrorism and despite the fact that his own White House dubiously dubbed this global conflict “an overseas contingency operation,” the president has finally learned to use the most obvious term – terror- this week. Mr. President, if you are listening, here are a few more thoughts from a concerned Muslim.
You cannot just stay hunkered down at your “beachhead” in Hawaii after another virulent byproduct of global political Islam attacked on our homeland. While no one was really hurt, you don’t exactly look like you are taking the issue seriously when your photo of the day captures a romp on the beach. It was not a coincidence that this was attempted on Christmas day, yet you ignore the religious struggles in this conflict. It is time that our commander-in-chief and the leader of the free world come to terms with the reality that this is the greatest conflict of the century and a battle of ideas between western liberal secular democracies and political Islam.
While you and your colleagues are stymied by the question of whether to even use the term “terror,” the ideology of al-Qaeda (violent political Islam) is spreading exponentially. Your systematic failure to advance American security against ideologies that threaten us may turn catastrophic. In fact the Christmas bomber said so himself, telling an investigator that “there are more just like me who will strike soon.” By all means, Mr. President, fix the holes in our security that we know are there – but terrorists who are suicidal religious zealots and very creative will sadly very likely strike again soon. This year certainly proves that.
Our nation is clearly becoming more and more anxious and concerned over the rash of radicalized Muslims. Is it not time for you to acknowledge that terror is a simply a symptom of a more profound deeper underlying disease? That disease is political Islam.
Hopefully you will realize that we can only defeat an enemy we can name, describe, and understand. As Thomas Friedman and others have recently reminded us, the only answer to jihadists, Salafists, and Islamists is a narrative from within America, and most important from within Islam, that counters the global supremacism of political Islam. Until you say exactly that, we will continue to flail in this conflict.
I hope after Nidal Hasan, after the American jihadis in Pakistan, and now after the Christmas bomber radicalized in London, that you see our need for clear leadership against political Islam and its ubiquitous permeating militant manifestations. We need a leader who recognizes that this conflict is most significantly within Muslim communities as we Muslims struggle with the conflict between theocracy and democracy, sharia and liberty, Islamism and freedom, and salafism and modernity. The longer you squander your leadership and stay silent on this, the more vulnerable we will be.
much more here..
