I suspect Liz Cheney will be on one of the talk shows tomorrow to say that the elections were fair and accurate, but also proof that Obama's apology tour was a complete failure.

Iran's G. W.

heh... and there's not much the u.s. can protest re the election should the country's supreme authority rule in favor of ahmadinejad in a disputed election.

The difference between Moussavi and the RNC is that we have twitter.

Given the large percentage of Iran's population is under 35, and given how much that demographic has supported Moussavi from what I have seen/read, and if the 'results' were indeed as skewed as they appear to be, maybe this will push the country to the edge? These are young people who want progress, who may not sit tight if the election was rigged as it appears. Watching this one closely.

Casting further doubts on the process, there were reportedly polling stations in Moussavi strongholds with an insufficient number of ballots, polling stations that closed earlier than they were supposed to, blocked text messages, which the Moussavi campaign team expected to utilize as part of its GOTV operation.

looks like Ahmadinejad's group have been closely watching, and learning from republican anti-voter tactics.

I'm not sure how to read this, there are two very different possibilities here. One is that the theocrats are preparing to negotiate with the US and so are preparing the hardest line in advance of those negotiations. The other is that they're doubling down on confrontation.

So I guess I think this means we aren't going to be able to just muddle through. Either we're going to be able to negotiate something or we're going to end up in open conflict with these guys.

He's Amabushejad!

Ahmadinejad won years ago on a wave of anti-American/Western/Bush sentiment. I don't think the wounds have healed quite yet and I believe Ahmadinejad truly did win in a landslide. Remember, the American 'free' press is the best money can buy and they've had the American people believing all week that the Iranian opposition party had an overwhelming support of the majority of Iranian citizens. Well they didn't, but mission accomplished around here as the American sheeple all believe Ahmadinejad's re-election is illegit and a) be more likely to support a military first strike against Iran, and b) pay even less attention or disregard all together what he has to say regarding American's incessant interventions in the Middle East - things/atrocities that our msm won't report.

It'll be interesting to see what Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei does with this situation.

Power to the People!

Of course Ahmadinejad won! There is always massive voter turnout when they want to maintain the status quo of a government led by a failed incompetent.

How do you spell "George W. Bush" in Farsi? "Ahmadinejad."

I can accept that that Moussavi didn't win because it seemed like it was close, but 65% or so for Ahmadinejad? Seems a bit high. If Ahmadinejad supporters were using various techniques to keep their boy in power they should have tried to make it look a little less like someone or someones were into massive levels of fraud.

How much does the president of Iran impact U.S. policy? How much difference would it have made if Moussavi had won? Ayatollah Ali Khamene'i is the real power and the decider. The president is just a figurehead as I understand it.

Is Kenneth Blackwell running this election?

We want to believe the election was a fraud and the people are clamoring for democracy.

That's the kind of wishful thinking that led to the Iraq war.
