Everyone is waiting on the election results for Iran’s President today. The race is between the current hardline nut job and a surging moderate. The vote is seen as a referendum on the extremist Ahmedinejad and his confrontational positions with the rest of the world.  Some reports have the hard liner losing, and losing big

Reformist challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi won Iran’s presidential election on Friday with 65 percent of the vote, a close aide to the former premier claimed.

“According to the information received from provinces and from Tehran, Mousavi has got 65 percent of the votes cast,” Ali Akbar Mohatshemi-Pour told AFP.

Of course, no one knows for sure and the Ahmedinejad camp is also declaring a massive victory. Fingers crossed the Iranians have decided to pull back from the brink.

    The dominant view among Obama administration officials is that the regime will look so bad as a result of whipping up Iranian hopes for democracy and then squelching them that the regime may feel compelled to show some conciliatory response to Obama’s gestures of engagement.

    … sounds like Obama in Wonderland with Ahmadinnerjacket as the rabbit.

    My hope is that the Iranian people will be so fed up they will get rid of all the rulers. Maybe Israel will help them out, all the chaos could allow a few sharp shooters to do some damage.

    I knew Jules Roy was low, but I never thought I’d see him verbally fellate Ahmedinejad the way he has in this thread.
