Iran Confronts 3rd Day of Protests, With Calls for Khamenei to Quit

When have you ever engaged in legitimate debate in the short time you've been here?

 

That deflection scheme seems to be the modus operandi of the far left/pro-iran regime shills. One can also look back to their beloved heroes like this manufacturing paranoia on cue; how many times has Seymour Hersh claimed Israel or the US is going to attack iran and been wrong?

"In no fewer than six feature-length New Yorker articles published during the Bush administration, Hersh claimed that the United States was going to launch a war against the Islamic Republic. The first such article appeared more than seven years ago. In “The Coming Wars,” published in January 2005, Hersh wrote: “In my interviews, I was repeatedly told that the next strategic target was Iran.” He quoted a “former high-level intelligence official” who said: “Next, we’re going to have the Iranian campaign.” In April 2006, Hersh alleged that the Bush administration “increased clandestine activities inside Iran and intensified planning for a possible major air attack.” That piece made the stunning charge that the U.S. was contemplating a tactical nuclear first strike against Iran. Three months later, in an article entitled “Last Stand,” Hersh relayed the tale of how “senior commanders” in the military were heroically challenging Bush’s order that they prepare for a “major bombing campaign in Iran.”"

==========================

I've said this before many times; my two dream jobs are to be a weatherman and a leftist, you get to be wrong 99% of the time - and never have to worry about being accountable.

 

How sad, I can't understand why more Leftwingers have not been calling for more diversity in Iran's leadership. They have not demanded more Christians, Hindus, Buddhists or even Secular Humanists be included into their highly segregated and prejudiced ranks.

 

Well, leftists in Iran may well have. Or was that just more push for outside interference in another sovereign country from a right winger.

 

Eh ... I cannot say ... may be they think that Ayatollahs are all Communists ...

 

Ha, we could only wish.

 

All we have here in the West are Leftists demanding more multiculturalism and diversity.

Time for the rest of the world to do their share.

 

How come people like you demand Israel treat its minorities well, but not iran?

Are you going to hide behind the "I'm not a citizen of iran" crap?

 

Iran should give their people freedom, and it’s noble for the US to take advantage of times like these protests to promote the notion. But boots on the ground overtly or covertly and State Department or CIA statecraft in the country to bring that about is out of the question!!!

 

Do you think there is any evidence that would justify Trump decertifying the Iran agreement?

 

Let's take a look at this question:

"On Oct. 13, in his statement decertifying the Iran nuclear deal, President Trump claimed that Tehran “provides assistance to Al Qaeda.” The following week, his C.I.A. chief, Mike Pompeo, went further: “It’s an open secret and not classified information that there have been relationships, there are connections,” Mr. Pompeo said at an event hosted by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a neoconservative think tank. “There have been times the Iranians have worked alongside Al Qaeda.”

And I would add to this that our allies in Europe are very upset with the first step that Trump has taken with decertification of Iran despite the fact that there is no evidence, even found by our own state Department, that Iran is in any violation."

 

Iran is almost all Muslim. The Left gives them a free pass. Have you ever once heard a liberal demand that more churches, more Buddhist temples, more gay nightclubs be built in Muslim nations with none?

 

Ok, but what does that have to do with my post you quoted??

 

Have you found your Israeli passport yet? How about your pakistani one? I know you have so many, it must be hard to track them down, shrug. You seem to travel a lot these days, shrug.

 

Nope, of course not.

 

Ok, whatever that means, otherwise, no more regime change.

 

Update -- hard to tell from this if the central gov't in Iran has put down the protesting:

We should hear more about this on the PBS News Hour on Monday 1/8/2018 and also on the BBC.

 

Probably not. This is just the US getting exited that there might be room for change, when there is rather zero chance. The US was brought to the UN Security Council where the US got send back home with a rather clear message that they are not interested in their hype about a protest. Iran even said they got hard evidence that the protests were directed from abroad. Even France spoke it's mind that the US was out to exploit this for personal gains. Clearly the US does not know what the UNSC is meant for. Hopefully the dotard knows now.
