Iran Unclenches its Fist Slaps Obama's face
President Pantywaist latest: Iran unclenches its fist - to slap Barack Obama's face
"To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist." That piece of classic Obamaguff, unloaded during his presidential inauguration, has come home to haunt President Pantywaist, as a consequence of the Iranian election.
Today Iran unclenched its fist - to slap President Pantywaist on the face. It seems, despite the chiding from Barack Obama, that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad feel quite comfortable on the wrong side of history. At Friday prayers - accompanied by encouragingly reformist shouts of "Death to America!" - the Supreme Leader (Khamenei, not Obama) delivered the most intransigently authoritarian speech heard in Iran since the reign of Cyrus the Great.
From behind the stage set on which Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Mir-Hossein Mousavi have been acting as surrogates for the real power struggle between Khamemei and Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the Supreme Leader injected a note of politically incorrect reality into the fantasy conjured by Obama and the Western media. The Basij militia will be unleashed on protesters. "If there is any bloodshed, leaders of the protests will be held directly responsible," announced the Ayatollah.
"Make my day!" is the American translation of this uncompromising challenge, to America as well as to the youthful protesters, by a regime emboldened by the patent weakness of President Pantywaist. Americans should realise, having undergone the Vietnam experience, that in the final analysis power does not depend on military hardware but on political will. The Islamic republic is not short of political will.
It could be, of course, that the threat of the Basij militia will turn out to be no more potent than the parading of the Shah's 'Immortals' of the Imperial Guard, shortly before they were annihilated and that a revolution will sweep aside the mullahs. But it does not seem likely. The auguries are not of revolution, but of either civil war or acquiescence by the reformers. Regime change will not be uncontested.
For America and the rest of the world, Iranian nuclear development is the supreme consideration. How many of those superficially Americanised young Iranians, so active on Twitter, does Obama think want to see their country stripped of the prestige of being a potential nuclear power, especially when Pakistan is already in the club?
This is a lose/lose situation for Obama. He is as flaky on Iran as on everything else. In 2004 he favoured "surgical" missile strikes against Iran. In 2007 he did not rule out force, but preferred "aggressive diplomacy combined with tough sanctions" - but that was for the ears of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Since he moved address from Chicago to Washington, his stance has become more nuanced (ie he hasn't a clue what to do).
He is trying to steer a course between appeasement and rhetoric about the Iranian "threat", while knowing he may eventually have to knuckle down and accept a nuclear Islamic republic, since Barack doesn't do war. If the Israelis do the job for him, that will be ten times more provocative in Middle Eastern terms. Look forward to change you'd better believe in.
Wild Thing's comment.....
President Pantywaist...ROTFLMAO!! This guy always refers to Obama like this, I have posted his other articles before. LOVE it! Obama deserves any kind of got cha possible.
“To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.”
Attention murderous, suppressive tyrants! It’s all good. *fist bump*
Obama's presidency will only sink further into a morass of his own making from here on out.

That African ape masquerading as a human in the whirtehouse isn't going to do shit!!! Jimmah Carter is wearing his balls and Carter never had any!!!
The United States has launched all of its major armed conflicts since World War II as police actions. In these events, Congress had not made a formal declaration of war, yet the President, as the commander-in-chief, has claimed authority to send in the armed forces when he deemed necessary.
In the U.S., the legal legitimacy of each of its police actions since WWII was based upon decisions such as the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, authorization for of Use of Force by Congress, and various UN resolutions.
These methods effectively granted the President the legal ability to deploy troops overseas without Congress ever formally declaring war (in the Constitutional sense of "war"), sometimes despite mass protests by the nation's own citizens and/or in violation of international law.
This maneuver absolves them of their Constitutional responsibility.
Of course that was when we had a president, today we have a international buffoon(baboon, debatable) who is getting a hard lesson in the fruits of appeasement. When are Nancy and Michelle going to unlock that empty lockbox with Baracks testicles inside?
It's painful waiting for that first Nuclear strike, but it's that or capitulation.
Veterans often display a high degree of disdain for the term "police action," I sure as hell do!!!
It got my ass in trouble when I was sent to Vietnam, my enlistment form specifically said 'Declared War". I went but it was a breach of contract and faith.
William O'Douglas took that case then dismissed it 6 months after I was in theater, he never refunded the retainer fees that some 20 of us put up either.
Police Action somehow implies that their sacrifices were not legitimate and perhaps also that they are not even veterans of a true "war". That public attitude has been vehemently heaped on the warrior in every 'Police Action' they've served in.
Anybody want to be spit on again, called baby killers or have excrement thrown on you? How about being denied access to a Michigan Park because you survived as a quadrapegic?
Thank those spineless, nutless Democrats and their likewise RINO followers for todays problems.
Enjoy your f'king nukes!!!

What the hell is Aggressive Diplomacy ? You do that again and we will really yell at you. sounds like my daughter displining her kids. Let Grampa do it. One time I gave her my belt and said you know what to do with this...she gave it back to me...Oh we don't do that.
This is the whole problem no teeth in the threat.

C'mon, it's easy: "Mr. [insert 'Amadinejad' here] tear down this wall!" What, he's worried we'll offend bad guys who can't "Death to America!" already?

Jack, thank you for sharing about that.
Even as a non Vet I hate that term too. It
is exactly as you said.
"Police Action somehow implies that their sacrifices were not legitimate and perhaps also that they are not even veterans of a true "war"."
