The young man at the right is a patriot. He would rather die fighting than live on his knees.
His courage in the face of the IslamoNazi subhumans who rule his country has cost him dearly, but every revolution must have a Patrick Henry.
"Nine years ago, Ahmad Betebi appeared on the cover of The Economist.This photo during the student demonstrations made Batebi famous. It also made him a target of the regime.
"Ahmad Betebi was sentenced to death by the evil regime in Iran after the student protests of 1999. He was severely tortured for years in the notorious Evin Prison in Iran. During a break from prison, Batebi fled Iran traveling through a free Iraq to Austria and finally arriving in Washington DC." (Read and view in-depth interview via Gateway Pundit.com.
Here's what the new generation of Iranian freedom fighters think of Dear Leader's cowardice in the face wholesale murder in the street of Tehran.
"His (Obama) lack of response will not be regarded lightly. We will watch for how much his response will help the people or the
regime. We will know more this week... Obama can hold talks with the regime in Iran if he wants.
Is it morally correct for Obama to support the regime? Does he actually believe the people of Iran will appreciate that? The social movement requires support. If the world really wants the advent of terrorism to disappear in the Middle East, if they want peace with the Palestinians and Israel, if they want nuclear technology to be developed for peaceful things and not nuclear weapons... They only need to support the people of Iran right now. This regime has the most dangerous of ideologies.
"They're killing the opposition."
Meanwhile, despite Iran, the NoKor weapons ship, an economy fast resembling that of the Weimer Republic, unemployment beyond 12% and a well-planned fiscal suicide.... Obama sets up a propagandist's photo op with his kids; proving the adage, that when the going gets tough, the tough buy ice cream.
As HotAir reported:
Obama Snacked, Iranians Got Whacked
Below is a graphing video of the murder of a young woman dubbed Neda ("The Voice") gunned down by Iranian security forces. Now a decade later, this Iranian uprising for freedom has its own martyr.
She went to the rally with her father and died instantly of a bullet to the base of her throat.
This should be a pinnacle moment for the world's oldest true constitutional republic to stand side-by-side with those who face the guns of an oppressive government, just as we did 230 years ago.
It is in our DNA.
All people in the world striving to be free look to America.... the students in Tiananmen Square erected a State of Liberty before it and they were crushed under the treads of communist tanks.
We could once again provide hope for an oppressed people, but we won't because we have a weak and incompetent leader incapable of doing anything but stroking his own ego.
If we actively backed regime change in Iran, make and fulfill our promise of support to the opposition movement and topple the present government of, half the world's terrorist activity or more, would grind to a halt.
But that would take common sense, vision and courage... both political and moral.
Barack Hussein Obama lacks all three, unmoved by people young an old, male and female, facing down automatic weapons with sticks and rocks and guts.
He is a moral and physical coward.
Not long ago I suggested to some folks that "68 million people were responsible for this" meaning the current domestic and foreign tar babies Obama has created in only six months.
Some were actually offended when I suggested that just as words have meanings, votes have consequences.
Lastly, this is the way the current CnC proposes to ferret out the subhumans in Afghanistan and kill them in their numbers:
Shades of Vietnam? New US Rules of Engagement Says Troops Must Disengage if Taliban Enter Homes....
KABUL – The top U.S. general in Afghanistan will soon formally order U.S. and NATO forces to break away from fights with militants hiding in Afghan houses so the battles do not kill civilians, a U.S. official said Monday.
The order would be one of the strongest measures taken by a U.S. commander to protect Afghan civilians in battle. American commanders say such deaths hurt their mission because they turn average Afghans against the government and U.S. and NATO forces.
No army ever won a war by giving sanctuary of any kind to the enemy, or by placing concern for civilian casualties above its soldiers' lives.
Now, courtesy of the cyber patriots at ApacheClips.com (via The Big Zip over at Weaselzipper.com) here's his Monday Morning War Porn which is fast gaining popularity with LM31 faithful readers.... which means soon you will all end up on a fed list of some kind; I've been on it for some time and was getting lonely.
This would seem to indicate that the remotely-flown UAV involved here might just be better shooter than pilots and gunners on choppers and A-10s which is total logic. And these are the kids who were "wasting their lives playing video games" 15 years ago.
Hell... we're best at everything.
Allah Snackbar!
Sorepaw,Thanks for the response The United States is not about to dulfeat on its sovereign debt. Even less is it likely to repudiate its sovereign debt. You need to stop transmitting the Obama-Geithner line on this issue. From an article I read today: Some conservative congressional Republicans have questioned whether there would really be a crisis if the Aug. 2 deadline were missed. They note that the government could cut programs instead and still make interest payments at least for a while. But Congress' top two Republicans, House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell have agreed that failure to raise the limit could provoke an epic economic catastrophe. Not Obama's and Geithner's words. This is from the Republican leadership. What will happen is that: the debt ceiling gets raised without strings attached (what Obama and the Democratic leadership initially demanded) the debt ceiling gets raised and tax rates get raised (what Obama and the Democratic leadership really want) the debt ceiling gets raised with a schedule of spending cuts attached (what the Republican leadership has been pushing for) All of this brinksmanship that the media have been "entertaining" us with is political theater. Calling it brinksmanship is already an exaggeration; the term came into use when the United States and the Soviet Union could have fought an all-out nuclear war. A real Armageddon, not a fake one. I don't know if would call this gaming or brinksmanship "entertaining". I think most people want stability in their life and not needles crises management. That's part of what I mean by leadership - not creating crises. Anticipating situations before they become crises and coming to the table with valid proposals to solve our problems. When the economy and markets tanked the last time it cost me. Not interested in going through a repeat. And you think that if the Republicans show "leadership", er, knuckle under to Obama, Reid, and Pelosi, the economy and markets won't tank? Hasn't it occurred to you that Obama has gotten so florid in his brinksmanship because he vainly imagined that his policies would produce an economic recovery and even he now realizes that they haven't? (Not that high unemployment matters to him per se, but Obama is smart enough to recognize its likely effect on his re-election prospects.)Again, this situation, where Obama is demonstrating his brinksmanship , was created by the Republicans with their requirement for concessions before raising the debt ceiling. And because of this, they will be the ones receiving the blame for the situation. They, in essence, have created a situation that makes Obama look as the saner, more serious party. How different is ObamaReidPelosian rhetoric Medicare, Now and Forever from the rhetoric emitted by Greek politicians over the last decade or two? I admit that I'm not familiar with the rhetoric of the Greek politicians over the last two decades. I understand the Greek debt was over 100 percent of their GDP something we haven't seen since the end of WW II which has contributed to their problems.Again, I'm not arguing that we don't have to get spending under control. I believe everything needs to be put on the table entitlements, defense spending and revenue increases. But I don't believe playing with the actual or possible threat of dulfeat is the correct approach. To me this is where real leadership would come into play to try and tackled this problem without playing games with the economy and peoples lives. Is this really what the Republican Party wants?

Vladimir Putin told Larry King (CNN ivenreitwer, US TV) that Russia had no reason to believe Iran's government wants nuclear weapons and is developing them.How much play will this story get in US newspapers?

The lefties are real brave when it comes to verbally attacking Sarah Palin or her daughters, but confront them with something like the Iranians, and they need to wear their brown pants so you can't see they just pooped their panties!
