Mousavi is a former PM and a long time supporter of the Islamic government. He himself is supported by some of the clerics.

He and Ahmadinejad are just two halves of the same thing

It's not as if it's the fighters for democracy against the totalitarian government...as some of you have tried to portray it.

That government is saying we are meddling and undermining them when we are standing on the sidelines NOW, so we see THAT's working real well. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain by telling the Iranian people he is with them. Good grief--France, I mean France of all countries has been more vocal and supportive. Good thing Nobama's invited these totalitarian dictators to his 4th of July celebrations. Friggin coward, Nobama.
Obama, a coward? Don't see you jumping on that troop carrier but as usual the GOP beats their war chest. A bunch of cowards they are...

He knew the sheeple would not support an Iraq occupation. Turns out he was right. Now which side are you trying to stand on?

What happened to the liberal idea of free and fair elections? The ability to protest without fear of beatings and murders?

All gone to the wayside because obama has chosen to be on the side of the regime?

Sanrene,

Really, what should be done short of going to war? What sanctions could we put into place? What chastising can the President do to FORCE this country to re-do their election? You have countries like Sudan that are raping and killing Women and children every day for the last 20 years. What has the U.S done to assist? North Korea has been DEFIANT with the nuclear program for at least the last 10 years. We've chastised and placed Sanctions and their still at it.

So short of costing more American Lives, what should be done?

And still, after all the brutality, violence, and murders of democracy activists, the killing of our soldiers through direct and indirect means, obama will continue his efforts to negotiate with this heinous regime.

Looks like the July 4th invite is still on.

AFP: US says hot dog diplomacy still on with Iran



How unbelievably contemptible.
I believe I just heard Obama tell the world that they arent thinking about us or focusing on what we say or think.

I am going to rewind and see just how he worded it

YOU said Bush KNEW, in other words, he LIED to them.

YOU are the one whining here about the failures of your own silly-assed alleged leaders and attempting to shift the blame elsewhere, typical NeoConfused BS

Look back througfh your own posts, YOU're the whiner, especially when people won't buy into your spin.
