Save for the fact that we conclusively proved most of those were a setup by Hill & Knowlton, yanno, just like that Kuwaiti Incubator story.

While there's no doubt a whole lot of nasty shit goin on over there, I am too familiar with our history of involvement (See Also: Operation Ajax) to believe anything a known propaganda engine happens to be telling me.

On May 23, 2007, Brian Ross and Richard Esposito reported on ABC News: “The CIA has received secret presidential approval to mount a covert “black” operation to destabilize the Iranian government, current and former officials in the intelligence community tell ABC News.”

On May 27, 2007, the London Telegraph independently reported: “Mr. Bush has signed an official document endorsing CIA plans for a propaganda and disinformation campaign intended to destabilize, and eventually topple, the theocratic rule of the mullahs.”

A few days previously, the Telegraph reported on May 16, 2007, that Bush administration neocon warmonger John Bolton told the Telegraph that a US military attack on Iran would “be a ‘last option’ after economic sanctions and attempts to foment a popular revolution had failed.”

On June 29, 2008, Seymour Hersh reported in the New Yorker: “Late last year, Congress agreed to a request from President Bush to fund a major escalation of covert operations against Iran, according to current and former military, intelligence, and congressional sources. These operations, for which the President sought up to four hundred million dollars, were described in a Presidential Finding signed by Bush, and are designed to destabilize the country’s religious leadership.”

Conversely, Iran is far from innocent themselves, as their internal security services are running their own version of Mockingbird as well.

So both "sides" are shovelling bullshit and propaganda as fast as they can pile it on, and just cause one side is completely fulla shit, and the other happens to be telling you what you WANT to hear, doesn't mean they are telling you the truth.

Critical Thinking, you should try it sometime.
Of course, that presumes you wingnuts have an actual thought process to begin with.

One must remember also, that our meddling of exactly this type is what gave Chavez his *massive* support base thanks to being caught out playing the propaganda game and trying to sponsor at least two coups.

Think it through you fools, this can go two ways, either our meddling and interference gets us another Shah, and fifty MORE years of fucking blowback to choke on - or it gives us a solidified opposition with a real, valid hard-on for us...

Did you never think that fanatic dickheads that most of these guys are, they didn't have a POINT, a REASON and good fucking CAUSE to not like us ?

We've been shovelling this bullshit since the sack of Acre, and all it does is prove that as bad as their own homegrown jackasses are, we happen to be worse - and because of that, instead of listening to the moderates, they go with the "devil they know" as a defense against US.

In short, this insane and doomed to fail policy actually HELPS the goddamn fanatics stay in power.

Of course, even if we left our hands off, we've also got our treacherous, backstabbing so-called-allies stickin their thumb in the propaganda pie as well.

ize-iran-via-twitter/

If the Iranian PEOPLE want these assholes out, they're gonna have to do it themselves, cause our "help" is probably the only thing WORSE than leaving those shitheads in power, and so good luck to em and whatever THEY want, for THEIR country, is what should be.

Whether WE like it or not.

And might I remind you that when all the world is focused on what's going on in the sandbox, that is also the time we should be most vigilant in looking over our OWN back fence at what OUR powers that be happen to be *doing* while we're conveniently distracted.

But fuck it, no one listens to good sense these days anyways, so imma just leave it here.

I'm sorry, but this is just such a reach to try to propagandize two completely unrelated things that it takes my breath away.

Yeah, SW, I've no doubt that those evil Iranians were just waiting for Obama to step out for ice cream so they could put their evil plans into action.

What was it you were expecting Obama to do?

Maybe he should take up golf...

THose damn Iranians, they have spies everywhere! Even at Baskin-Robbins! All this time, I thought it was just seven-eleven.

Sheesh!

Seriously, it bothers me that Obama not so long ago was wanting to have 'serious' talks with this same government, but...that is what he gets paid for. To look after our interests first.

He won't be the first President to get a black eye from something he thought might work out. He won't be the last either.

THe thing that pisses me off most is that both sides are using these kids who are protesting in Iran to further their own political agenda. That is BS in the largest sense of the word.

But, as always, that's just me.

Where was Sky's righteous indignation when Bush refused to cut his holiday short for a piddling little thing like an American cities destruction.

Seriously, what the fuck does Iran's election problems have to do with Obama anyway? Well, beyond the obvious that American and British precedent is to replace elected governments with vicious dictators if their the 'wrong' government I mean.

I think he promised to give it up until the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are over.

Oh, wait. That WASN'T Obama who promised that?
