The President seems to have seriously ruffled some EU feathers at the UN (which probably has a lot to do with Chicago’s lackluster run at the Olympics) by pushing his personal image over that of the interests of the international community:
The President is believed to have angered the European leaders by insisting on delaying a [...]

In 2008, a suspicious National Intelligence Estimate was leaked to the news media, apparently to influence the 2008 presidential elections. An NIE is the consensus view on the threats to this nation, at times on a specific topic like Iran or Iraq or al Qaeda.
In 2007 the NIE was a crass act of misinformation.
The NIE [...]

Iran did something fairly important this week, in the grand scheme of things. Iran proved that President Bush and his “Axis of Evil” comment was accurate, and that President/Senator Obama (and all his liberal allies with blinders on) with his Pollyannish “Iran is not a threat” was wrong. Deadly wrong.
Is anyone going to believe – now [...]

Huge news out of Iran today:
The most important group of religious leaders in Iran called the disputed presidential election and the new government illegitimate on Saturday, an act of defiance against the country’s supreme leader and the most public sign of a major split in the country’s clerical establishment.
A statement by the group, the Association of Researchers [...]

As I speculated yesterday, I think it is no coincidence that there is rising carnage in neighboring Iraq as Iran is on the verge of collapse. Desperation can cause violent insanity – as we see in the massacres taking place on the Iranian streets daily now.
At least seven bombs exploded around the country Thursday amid [...]

I have mentioned many times over the past week that the violent attacks on the people of Iran will probably change a lot of hearts inside the military and security forces. The reason I believe this is because security and military forces obviously come from the national community, which means when a government tries to [...]

It seems a majority of the nation of Iran are not happy with the coup d’etat pulled by Pretend President Ahmedinejad and the Supreme Leader Khamenei in the recent Iranian election:
More than 180 Iranian MPs appear to have snubbed an invitation to celebrate President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s election win, local press reports say.
All 290 MPs were [...]

A pattern is emerging here, where the worse things get in Iran the more bombs go off in Iraq:
At least 55 people have been killed by a bomb blast in the eastern Sadr City area of Baghdad, say officials.
Iraqi police said the bomb went off in a market place in the predominantly Shia area of [...]

If you want to light a fire under a potential revolutionary movement, the best way to do this is to start a massacre in the public square. Things have to be on the verge of total collapse for the Iranian Thugocracy to be going for the tool of last result like this:
At least two sources [...]

CNN has what could be a major event in the evolving drama inside Iran.
A photo showing Iranian clerics prominently participating in an anti-government protest speaks volumes about the new face of Iran’s opposition movement.
In a blatant act of defiance, a group of Mullahs took to the streets of Tehran, to protest election results that returned [...]

How will the United States of America react to the horrible tragedies playing out on the streets of Iran? How will this great country address the cold blooded killing of beautiful young people like Neda Soltan (see read here and here)?
Her friends say Panahi, Neda and two others were stuck in traffic on Karegar Street, [...]

Finally we may be seeing the signs of the collapse of the ugly, bloody regime of Iran. I have said for days if the military balks at killing its sons and daughters, neighbors, friends, etc, that would signal the end of the Iranian thugocracy. Here are my fingers crossed we may have crossed that line:
A [...]

The stage is set, the pieces are in motion, the bets are “all in” for both sides now in Iran. The freedom fighters have their martyr in the form of a young 27 year woman shot down in the streets. Her blood drenched face a rallying point for a nation. Their leaders have called for [...]

Today Gateway Pundit has extremely good coverage of the ongoing uprising in Iran (here as well). So far we have not seen the kind of tipping point we need to see to determine if this will last or change the future of Iran. We would need to see some regions take self control, we would [...]
