Yeah, our liberal messiah is confused on what to say, why? Is it because he is still waiting for an opening to engage in diplomacy with Iran "without preconditions" and "Seeking some kind of comprehensive settlement with Iran to make progress". So...let get this straight, the Iranian citizens are giving their lives for a sliver of freedom, democracy, and peace with the US. Yet their government, knowing they have disarmed their citizens, are beating them to a pulp, taking some head shots, promoting terrorism, and still wants a nuclear bomb so they can kill millions. All this while our socialist messiah votes present? WAKE UP AMERICA!






You're probably one of those twisted and demented neo cons that believed just two weeks ago, that ALL of Iran was an evil and vile nation that needed to be obliterated - just like McSame and Graham.

Now you have a pathetic and weak attempt to try and attack Obama on an issue, (something that you were undoubtedly told by the Fox news talking heads, because you're not smart enough to think for yourself), and you use it like a club to try and beat Obama on a policy issue?

You neo cons need to go back to the drawing board - your policies have failed for decades, and this issue is NO EXCEPTION.

So, what should he do? Should he order an invasion? Maybe we can get another 4300 soldiers killed and countles more maimed for life! Then we can set up another joke of a government that can only accomplish something when bribes are involved! There's nothing that a U.S. President can't solve by ordering an invasion!

Want to know why Mr. Obama has been having fecal incontinence these last few days? He is beginning to realize that he will not be able to deal with the Iranians through negotiations, but only through confrontation. That is why. If he won't do it, the Israelis will.







You're a moron to believe that violence is the only option.

What exactly are you going to do with the MILLIONS of people that are protesting their government's elections being stolen? Kill them too?

This is what happens when governments disarm their citizens. Americans be thankful you live in a county where gun ownership keeps this crap in check. Continue to fight to hold on to our precious 2nd amendment so this will never happen here. Everyone be rest assured, our government can blab all they want about what their going to do, what their going to change, try moving us to socialism etc. but at the end of the day they know they can only push so far. You will never see a beat down in the US like you see in Iran because...we have weapons. Don't ever forget what our forefathers gave us.

Another very good reason to be thankful you have the right to gun ownership is that, if any religious group tries to sieze control of our government, we can blow all their heads off. Just let the "right wing Christians" try to turn our country into another Iran. We'll blow all their filthy worthless heads off. Our guns also keep us free from religious tyranny.

Imagine for a minute that McCain had refused to accept that he lost by a landslide and had instead urged Republican and other supporters to go out and riot, causing 20 or more of them to get killed, all in the hope of somehow forcing the government to overturn the results. What opinion of McCain would most of us hold today?

Unless it becomes obvious that there was indeed fraud, and that it was severe enough to affect the outcome, then Mr Mousawi is a dangerous and murderous demagogue who should be subjected to swift and stern justice.






Tens of millions of HAND WRITTEN ballots, from across the entire country, were "counted" in 3 hours. and Ahmadinejahd won in a "landslide"?

Even in Mousavi's hometown where MOST people said that they voted for him, and Mousavi only got 10% of the vote despite being immensely popular there?

You're a clown to believe this election wasn't stolen.

Hi God! I didn't know you were going by the name "Zara" now! Welcome to the message board! So what's the best way to cure fecal incontinence? It seems to me that, rather than using your military to attack someone, it would be a whole lot easier to just insert your finger up your anus - kind of like a cork!

Hillary, I thought you were recovering from surgery. What are you doing online?

Fair enough what you state. However, in this country most of the responses I was aware of following the election would not have backed such a McCain claim, even if he had made it. I think there is a big difference between a very large segment of the population not appearing to believe the results and the candidate not believing the results. The former appears to be the case here.
Thus, I am not ready to buy your second statement at all. I think it's less of an issue in having the results overturned - but rather a challenge that the vote be recounted, taking a more appropriate amount of time to handle the "volume" of the count.

What a relief that the Ayatollahs and Mr. Ahmadinejad have their supporters in times of crisis. As for Mr. Mousawi's, you wrote demagogue, but perhaps you meant synagogue?

Obama is the latest incarnation of the Golden Calf. Idols are silent.

Boy, aren't we all glad our last President wasn't "silent", or, as despido says "indecisive" and "hesitant"? Nosiree Sir! Our last President rounded up all of our troops and ordered an ivasion! We lost over 4300 soldiers' lives, and permanently maimed and disfigured several thousand more! And, as if that wasn't enough reason to mount another invasion, we're still dealing with the mess we created with our last one! Yeah, doggonit Mr. President!!! Get off your duff and make a quick, rash, foolish move, just like our last President did!!! Rush to a conclusion! You can always leave the problems it creates to the next administration!!!

You mean 'indecisive' and 'hesitant'? As in only responding after criticism and questions mounted... Or... Completely over-whelmed, taken by surprise and waiting for someone to load his teleprompter?
