MSLSD is a notorious Liberal Media idiot. This "reporter" pukes this Pipes noise laced w/ her obviously slanted agenda using inflammatory wording: I.E. "neo-con",
The libs fava yap term of pigeon holing the right and its conservative individuals as tarnished and mindless using "neo-con"; the derivative, quasi-insulate term that first referred liberals that have wisely {my opinion & agenda...bitch} realized conservatism is a smart tact in politics as well as in finance, clips only a portion of Pipes original attitude towards a tact observation.
Who'd figure that election would be rigged? Duh-uh - predetermined by the Eyes-as-Hola Kookmeanie no matter what the Iranian people voted...and it appears Pipes had a tactical point to make with his comment as opposed to the short, witless, stumped innuendo suggested by the {bitch} reportess and her small minded agenda...a point beyond MSLSD's fanatic desire to slash plastic blades at conservationism instead of truly pinning idiot right winger racists and political Neanderthals to the board by their scrotums. In short the {bitch} spoke out of context and out of subject phase into and from a personal agenda. The leftist's most common and lame tact. Their finest fault.
Read the matter in context and know well MSLSD is an idiot's news mockery:
*
Ahmadinejad remains the lunatic face of Iran to the world, making it difficult to argue that the mullahs' regime is mellowing and its possession of nuclear weapons poses no threat. Had Mousavi won, policy would have remained roughly the same because, as one Iranian insider puts it, "the government of Iran executes foreign policy decisions made by Iran's supreme leader," yet the regime would have appeared much less threatening.
*
Ahmadinejad symbolizes the rejection of Barack Obama's overtures to Iran and, as such, his selection represents a slap in the face of the American president's pro-Islamist policies.
*
Ahmadinejad remains in charge of the Iranian economy, which he is progressively wrecking, thereby reducing the country's capabilities to make mischief abroad.
*
Ahmadinejad also determines the social mores, which he has tightened to the point of rebellion, assuring that his subject population grows more alienated from the Islamic Republic of Iran.
*
Supporters of the opposition candidates have not accepted the results, leading to riots in Tehran. In the description of the Los Angeles Times, "Searing smoke and the smell of burning trash bins and tear gas filled the night sky. Protesters poured into key squares around the capital, burning tires, erecting banners and hurling stones at riot police on motorcycles, who responded with truncheons."
*
Yesterday's sham election may be a turning point, the moment when the much-suffering population found its collective voice against the regime. It bears noting in this regard that the Iranian population in 1978-79 mounted what was perhaps the largest-scale rebellion ever against a government. It could do so again.
Then the mystery: Why did Khamene'i select Ahmadinejad to "win" the election? Why did he not chose a president-puppet who would present a smile to the world, including Obama, handle the economy competently, not rile the population, and whose selection would not inspire riots that might destabilize the regime? Has Khamene'i fallen under the spell of Ahmadinejad or does he have some clever ploy up his sleeve? Whatever the answer is, it baffles me. Put differently, the West makes plenty of mistakes, so it's a relief to learn that its enemy sometimes does likewise. (June 13, 2009)
