The US state Department, which is filled with Islamist sympathizers, once again shows its colors. While the Iranian Security forces are now using violence against the protesters, our government here says nothing.
Gunfire Erupts at Iranian Pro-Reform Protests, At Least 1 Killed
Gunmen fired on Iranian protesters during a massive demonstration over the country’s hotly-disputed election, killing at least one person.
An Associated Press photographer saw one person shot dead and several others who appear seriously wounded in Tehran’s Azadi Square. The shooting came from a compound for volunteer militia linked to Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard
This is the reaction of our useless State Department.
State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters Monday that the United States is concerned about allegations of ballot fraud.
Kelly described the U.S. government as “deeply troubled” by the events in Iran, which is a stronger expression of concern than over the weekend when Vice President Biden cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election.
When pressed by a reporter, Kelly declined to condemn the Iranian security forces for their crackdown on street protesters. And he said the U.S. knows too little about the conduct of the election to say for sure whether there was fraud.
This is a historic event in Iran and our government is supporting the regime? How can we support a regime that stands for everything we are against? We are abandoning the Iranian people to please the Ayatollahs. Clearly, this is just another case of the Islamic-Progressive alliance. If we don’t morally support the Iranian people, most of whom are under 30, they will hate us for decades. The day the Mullah regime crumbles, we should not expect a friendly regime.
Obama clearly is a supporter of Islamo-Fascism. If he wasn’t, he would use the bully pulpit of the American presidency to support the Iranian people. He is not and it shames me as an American that our president is not supporting people wanting to be free. I support the Iranian people and pray they get rid of their regime. I would love to visit Iran and see their historic sites, taste some Shiraz wine and enjoy the view!
Update: This opinion piece is a must read.
The Obama administration’s response to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s fraudulent election victory is cowardly, lily-livered and wrong. The White House’s refusal to officially question the result or even condemn the brutal suppression of opposition protesters, is undermining America’s standing as a global power, and is little more than a face-saving, cynical exercise in appeasement that will all end in tears.
This could not have been said any better.
