The US, for whatever reason, supported the opposition in this election – probably with money and CIA. There was more objective evidence that George W. Bush stole his two elections than there is at this time of election theft in Iran.Egy Azzierahttp://www.asiarooms.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22261571.post-48004979239534016182009-06-14T22:05:58.973-04:002009-06-14T22:05:58.973-04:00These are quite interesting, with explanation abou...These are quite interesting, with explanation about a possible Khamenei-Ahmadinejad-IRGC alliance.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.iranian.com/main/2009/jun/renewed-revolutionary-zeal" rel="nofollow">Renewed revolutionary zeal</a><br /><br /><a href="http://tehranbureau.com/2009/06/12/reading-the-supreme-leader/" rel="nofollow">Another coup for the hardliners</a><br /><br /><a href="http://garysick.tumblr.com/post/123070238/irans-political-coup" rel="nofollow">Iran's political coup</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.thewashingtonnote.com/archives/2009/06/iran_there_will/" rel="nofollow">Iran: There will be blood</a>Genenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22261571.post-92147871326310912582009-06-14T20:27:18.420-04:002009-06-14T20:27:18.420-04:00I do plan to respond to your comment, SNi, but pro...I do plan to respond to your comment, SNi, but probably tomorrow as I've just gotten in from a Sunday in the country with the family. In the meantime: I think whatever one thinks of the actual vote, the growing crackdown and wave of arrests suggests the government is panicky about something.Michael Collins Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07398326467953722017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22261571.post-55078512855585011782009-06-14T00:48:52.558-04:002009-06-14T00:48:52.558-04:00http://www.ph2dot1.com/2009/06/theft-of-iranian-el...http://www.ph2dot1.com/2009/06/theft-of-iranian-election.html<br /><br />The announced results line up fairly well with a US-done poll, which showed:<br /><br />1. Ahmedinajad beating Moussavi 2.4:1 overall<br />2. Ahmedinajad beating Moussavi 2:1 among Azeris<br />3. Karroubi & Rezaie with negligible numbers.<br /><br />Since these are 3 things usually cited as "evidence" or "proof" (e.g. Cole) of fraud, does this make you re-evaluate at all??SNihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805966612788682906noreply@blogger.com
