Either this WH wants to “meddle” or it doesn’t
Via the WaPo today we learn that the WH is trying to take credit for the uprising in Iran:
More on how the 2005 “election” of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was not Bush’s fault
On Saturday, I wrote a post which talked about the myths the left are perpetuating about the 2005 election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the Iranian presidency, which are that 1) reform-minded Iranians were “ok” with having Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as president as long as he helped protect them from the “warmongering” Bush and 2) Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected over Iranian fears of the United States after Bush’s “Axis of Evil” speech and other “harsh” rhetoric towards Iran. In essence, Bush has been blamed for Ahmadinejad’s “rise to power,” an assertion that is unsupported by the facts. This post continues where the last one left off.
Obama finally “meddles” – strongly condemns violence in Iran
There, that wasn’t so hard, was it?
Quote of the Day – from Wafa Sultan
On Obama’s Cairo speech, and his penchant for dangerous moral equivalencies:
Congress strongly condemns Iranian violence, Obama remains silent (UPDATE: O STARTING TO SOUND FIRM?)
And they did so overwhelmingly. It was a “toned down” resolution, of course – toned down by the Obama administration, who are taking the “wait and see” approach on Iran rather than coming out and strongly condemning the violence and murder taking place on the street against those who oppose the current Iranian regime.
