U.S. ambassador to UN won’t say Iranian regime is illegitimate
Hot Air » Blog Archive » Video: U.S. ambassador to UN won’t say Iranian regime is illegitimate
Quote:
Why won’t she say it? Because, and I quote, “The political situation in Iran is for the Iranians to work out internally.” Now, based on that statement alone, what’s the painfully obvious follow-up question? Right: Why that principle doesn’t also apply to Honduras. Reliable O-bot Andrea Mitchell never asks, of course, choosing to toss a softball instead about America’s defense of Zelaya to which Rice replies, amazingly, “A coup is a coup.”
Well, no — the whole point of the double standard between Honduras and Iran is that a coup isn’t a coup when acknowledging it would force Obama into a confrontation he doesn’t want.
In fact, Iran’s rigging of the election was a vastly more egregious coup than what went down in Honduras given the unified legislative, judicial, and military support for ousting Zelaya. The fact that she can sit here and make two statements like that with a straight face in the span of minutes is proof either of amazing cognitive dissonance or a willingness to lie bordering on the Orwellian.

Consistently on the wrong side. Amazing.
What do we call what happened in Iran?

Defeated Iranian presidential candidate Mirhossein Mousavi today said the new government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was "illegitimate," in a statement posted on his website.
"It is our historical responsibility to continue our protests and not to abandon our efforts to preserve the nation's rights," he said, two days after Iran's top legislative body confirmed Ahmadinejad's election victory.
Mousavi, who has repeatedly said the June 12 vote was rigged, said he would join a planned association of leading figures which would follow up people's rights and "ignored votes" in the election.

Where is the Us media? Trying to protect obama from making a fool of himself?

"The political situation in Iran is for the Iranians to work out internally."
That is an absolutely fascinating statement. I wonder why the political situation in Iraq wasn't for the Iraqis to work out internally? Or Vietnam in 1954? Or Korea in 1950? Or the Dominican Republic in 1930? Or Haiti in 1915? Hmm...what a peculiar pattern of political situations that weren't for the locals to work out by themselves!

O wants to stay on the good side of Achmadinajad. Doesn't want to upset the chap. Remember, O still wants to "talk" to him. Has to pretend the emperor has clothes.
It's all a sham.
BTW, Achmadinajad said today that Neda's death was staged.
