China Joins In Repression of Iranian People, Sends Shipment Of Armored Anti-Riot Vehicles

More unintended consequenes of our consensus building messiah's diplomatic genius? Or perhaps his appeal for Chinese support of Iranian sanctions failed to distinguish between the regime and it's civilians. Maybe Hillary can send them a reset button. It's worked so well with Putin so far. Sohrebestan writes

We pray that this regime will not last to get to use these violent equipments. But even if they do get to use them on the streets, it is nothing to worry about. Iranians are so creative that we will find the cheapest way to destroy them. The tyrannical and blood thirsty government of China should realize that this inhumane action against the people of Iran will turn out to be a big punishment. We will cut off their hands from our country and we will try our best to get rid of their products in our region. Also, China should wait for our full support of the people of Tibet against their barbaric crimes and the Muslim people of Sien Kiang, and we will punch their dirty mouths.

“Systemic Failure”

Even Maureen Dowd took time off from stalking Sarah Palin to take a shot at Big Sis...

If we can’t catch a Nigerian with a powerful explosive powder in his oddly feminine-looking underpants and a syringe full of acid, a man whose own father had alerted the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, a traveler whose ticket was paid for in cash and who didn’t check bags, whose visa renewal had been denied by the British, who had studied Arabic in Al Qaeda sanctuary Yemen, whose name was on a counterterrorism watch list, who can we catch?

Obama - It's The Regime, Stupid

The best chance for a peaceful resolution to Iran's nuclear ambition remains a change of regime. A resolution that Obama has no idea how to carry through. Obama the candidate spoke of strong countries and presidents talking to their adversaries (giving legitimacy to holocaust deniers in the process) and Obama the President followed through, wasting an entire year. While Iranians protested a sham election and Obama took credit for creating a robust debate without offering support for the protesters, the centrifuges were spinning. While Obama placated Russia with the cancellation of a missile shield in the vain hopes of support for sanctions against Iran, the centrifuges were spinning. In September while presiding over the Security Council, Obama, with seemingly every TV camera in the world focused on him, and with knowledge of the Qom enrichment facility, did...nothing. With the British and the French urging him to use the opportunity to reveal to the world the hidden nuclear facility, Obama refused, not wanting reality to detract from his Security Council reveries of a nuclear-free world. And instead chose the next day to make the announcement. In Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, the centrifuges kept spinning. And now this week, with the death of opposition religious leader, Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, protesters are demanding an overthrow of the dictatorship. And still, Obama maintains his vision of engagement. While Tehran boasts of being ten times stronger than they were a year ago, and calls for US disarmament, demonstrators carry signs written in English - graffiti in Tehran asks “Obama — are you with them or with us?" Obama's dreams of engagement and deadlines have run out. Opportunities to increase the odds of a regime change through support of the protesters have passed us by. A year has passed. And still, the centrifuges spin.
