Iran showdown: “Supreme Leader” tries to quell rebellion; US Congress does what Obama won’t

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 19, 2009 08:13 AM

The Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, delivered 100 minutes of blame the Jews/Death to the U.S. bile mixed with a veiled threat to the hundreds of thousands of protesters who’ve taken to the streets the last week to oppose voter fraud and fight for freedom from the mullah-cracy:

In his first public response to days of protests, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, sternly warned opponents Friday to stay off the streets and denied opposition claims that last week’s disputed election was rigged, praising the ballot as an “epic moment that became a historic moment.”

In a somber and lengthy sermon at Friday prayers in Tehran, he called directly for an end to the protests by hundreds of thousands of Iranians demanding a new election.

“Street challenge is not acceptable,” Ayatollah Khamenei said. “This is challenging democracy after the elections.” He said opposition leaders would be “held responsible for chaos” if they did not end the protests…

…He blamed “media belonging to Zionists, evil media” for seeking to show divisions between those who supported the Iranian state and those who did not, while, in fact, the election had shown Iranians to be united in their commitment to the Islamic revolutionary state.

The “Zionist” media did not make this happen.

Democrats and Republicans unite in Congress to do what President Obama won’t: Voice public support for the democracy movement in Iran. Caleb Howe spotlights today’s bipartisan resolution:

U.S. Congressman Mike Pence (R-Ind.), Chairman of the House Republican Conference, and Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, have introduced a resolution that goes where the President fears to tread: explicit support for the Iranian dissidents.

    The actions of the regime in Iran seem to coincide with the inactions of the regime here in the U.S. Mandate that the sky is purple and, therefore, it is so. Believe or die (starve, beg, etc.). I think unfortunately, that many in Iran will die in the coming days or weeks. And through it all, that loser in the WH will be “saddened and dismayed”. He will say that we “must talk things over and stop the senseless violence done to the Iranian government by lawless citizens” /sarc. The pOTUS used to be, well you know, and now, it AIN’T.

    If Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and friends were to be hanged by the crowds I would not be upset. Such as “A dead Ayatollah is a good Ayatollah”?

    He has done this on healthcare (notice he always refers to it as the Kennedy bill), he did it when it came to the releasing of detainee photo’s (remember he had Holder continue to fight it via DOJ) and now this with Iran.

    He is not a leader, he is just an expert campaigner.

    Did the people in Iran really have any choice in who they voted for?

    Is there any difference between Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Ahmedenijad?

    They are the same in principle.

    I just don’t get the fawning that is taking place.

    If I thought that the video clips of people in the streets in Iran had anything to do with REAL democracy, and real change in Iran for the better for all, including Iranians, Israelis, and the USA, then I’d be a bit more enthusiastic.

    Nothing about this shows promise in those areas, so I am not moved.

    Crowds in the streets?

    Crowds were in the streets celebrating the slaughter of thousands of US citizens as a result of the Islamofascist Jihadi militant blood and death cult attacks of 9/11/2001 also.

    I want to see REAL change, and REAL protest, protest against the Nuclear weapons development. Protests against Islamic Sharia Law. Protests against hatred against Jews, Israel, and the USA.

    When will I see THAT kind of protest by Iranians.

    This protest in support of one nut case, Mir-Hossein Mousavi, against another nut case, Ahmedenijad .

    When Obama deals with Ahmedenijad, we know he is an unqualified community organizer pretending to be a president, dealing with a nasty, malicious nut case.

    When Obama deals with Mir-Hossein Mousavi he is a community organizer pretending to be president (unqualified and in over his head) dealing with a nut case presented as a “moderate” by the uninformed.

    I don’t trust Mousavi, or Ahmedenijad, or the Iranian people on either side of this protest issue. I wouldn’t turn my back on them or deceive myself into thinking they are our friends.

    I do not believe that Mr. Buchanan’s intent was to advocate an emboldening of the mullahs to strengthen an uprising.

    If this were the case and it is what is currently unfolding in Iran, I’m afraid we shall see a toll on life that the MSM may even have to report on.

It is unwise to support an individual. That could indeed backfire. Near as I can tell no one on the right has asked Obama to support an individual. The criticism is he has not openly supported the protest and the folks who are sacrificing hoping for real change and freedom.

    So is Obama right in NOT supporting a particular person? Sure. No problem with that.

    Is Obama wrong and cowardly to not openly support the protesters? YES.

    But he obviously makes a good point. Obama isn’t keeping quiet because he’s lazy or he doesn’t care. He’s keeping quiet because the more the “Great Satan” says in support of Mousavi, the more harm he does to his cause.

    ” . . . explicit support for the Iranian dissidents.”

    Yes, the kind of explicit word of support that Pres GHW Bush gave the Kurds after the first Gulf War, and look what happened to them.

    Pres GHW Bush made a remark in support of the Kurds, they stood up to Saddam expecting that explicit word of support had a more meaningfull and substantial element to it. Well, that word ended up being meaningless because the Kurds were gased by Saddam. And we did nothing more than give lip service.

    Anything said, has to be backed up, should push come to shove. Anything said, can be used and twisted by the Iranian Government.

    Has anyone in Iran asked for an explicit word of support? I don’t know, but whatever is done, it must be done carefully and deliberately with courage and conviction knowing that if we’re in for a penney, then we are in for a pound.

    Lest we forget, the people in the streets are supporters of Mousawi, who is no more a friend of ours than Ahmedinejad. Has Mousawi asked for an explicit word of support? Does he and his supporters even want an explicit word of support from the US? I doubt it.

    You do it the way several Presidents before him have done…..

    Regarding the power struggle in Iran, I believe John Bolton was correct in calling it a choice between a wolf, and a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

    To paraphrase:

    On one side a nut who wants nuclear weapons and is loud and clear about his desire to destroy Israel;

    And on the other side a “moderate” who wants nuclear weaspons and keeps his mouth shut about his desire to destroy Israel.

    Another paraphrase, this one of Kissinger, ~25 years ago, regarding the Iran-Iraq war: too bad they both couldn’t lose.

    As I said the other day, does anyone here – anyone – for an instant believe that the majority, or even a sizeable number, of those people in Iran’s streets would be OK with my walking down a Tehran street openly wearing a Cross, and carrying a Bible?

    Anyone?

    Your comment is VERY inciteful, because that is Obama’s behavior pattern.

    If you are committed to freedom and are principled, you do not have to speak out against anything. You SHOULD articulate the importance of a free, fair, and honest election.

    Obama’s refusal to articulate those principles speaks VOLUMES about his feelings on the subject. I think in his world the ends to power justifies the means. His behavior points directly to that fact.

    Ah another partial truth from the leftist most ardent representative on this forum.

    As stated there is agreement even amongst us low life conservatives that Obama by NOT endorsing a particular candidate IS doing the RIGHT thing. But as usual with the left, they camp on half stories, half truths.

    Obama is doing the right thing by not endorsing a particular person.

    He is doing the WRONG thing by not endorsing the move toward freedom and supporting those pushing that freedom.

    You can stop at half the story if you want lgm. You call. Its obviously dishonest and lacks integrity. But please, don’t let that stop you.

    Start training Iranian dissidents in Iraq and “repatriate” them to Iran. A 5000 person Irish Republican Army type guerrilla war would be good PAYBACK for the Mullahs and their forces.

    No but apparantly the term “axelgrease” is because somehow it magicaly becomes “greasy jew” in RRS’s mind.

    Not exactly sure how that mental leap happens but I suspect it has to do more with covering his masters than any real racism.

    This isnt such a black and white issue. If we show verbal support for the dissidents, this could result in more Iranian interference in Iraq and Afghanistan, and thus possibly more dead American soldiers. On the other hand if we express our support through more clandestine channels, we can accomplish the goal of supporting democracy, while not risking the lives of American troops.

    I also question the notion of the good a verbal showing of support is. It all sounds so..well “liberal-think”. All form over substance. Will our verbal support make an overthrow of the Iranian govt more likely?? Hell no. We supported the dissidents in China ten years ago. How did that work out for us, and of course those now deceased dissidents?? Look, the dissidents know that freedom loving people around the world support them. Why risk American lives stating the obvious if all we are going to do is say “we support you”???

    Sheesh! The Dems were up in arms about arms being up in the air…everything.
    Anyway, I really don’t care whether David ‘A Word‘ or Karl Rove advise OR PR their respective presidents. My point earlier was that if Prez Obama makes any mention of concern/support for the dissenters, it won’t be out of HIS concern/support. It will only be for political expedience.

    BTW - I’m tickled that my ‘A Word‘ comment got so much interest! That’s a first for me. Maybe I need to be more ‘racey’! Cuz that was fun!
