Iran Has More Problems Than A-Bombs

Life for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has not been very peaceful since he assumed office. Initially, thousands protested against what they believed to be a stolen election and the result was chaos in the streets and people beaten, thrown in prison or killed. Yesterday, the Iranian Parliament voted to impeach his Labor Minister on charges of fraud. This is the ninth member of his Cabinet to be thrown out of office. The former head of Iran’s central bank was found in possession while in Germany of a check for $71 million. I assume that was money to cover lunch.

Ahmadinejad has angered the Ayatollah Khamenei who apparently thinks his former protege now seeks to create his own power structure that would not be subject to control by clerics. Off in the distance is Ali Laranji, speaker of the Parliament, who apparently has ideas about becoming president.

It makes one happy knowning that Iranians have the same sort of corrupt people in their legislature as we do in America.

Chuck Chuck Say Republicans

Chuck Hagel, former Repulican senator has upset members of his  party because of disagreement with their wild ideas regarding Iran and Israel. In particular, defenders of Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and those who seek “action” against Iran demand that President Obama appoint someone as Secretary of Defense whose main goal is defending Netanyahu’s foreign policy and bomb the hell out of Iran. Hagel also made the incredible comment that a “Jewish Lobby” is present in America rather than saying, “Israel Lobby.” Of course, it is perfectly OK to say, “Armenian Lobby” or “Polish Lobby” but for some protectors of Bibi Netanyahu, the word, “Jewish” indicates that one is an anti-Semite.

Chuck Hagel understands that if the US bombed Iran, Hezbollah would send thousands of missiles into Israel, riots would  break out in many Muslim nations, and some suicide bombers would appear in Israel cities. I  assume such incidents would lead Republicans to blast the Obama administration for causing violence in the Middle East.

Iran Leads In Space Race!

The Republican party now has proof that President Barack Obama has failed to lead this nation at a time of crisis. Republicans have been warning for months about the need to halt the Iranian military plans to launch missiles and to create nuclear weapons, but the only Obama response is to delay, to wait. Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a true blooded American if there ever was is ready to send bombers into the sky, but the black dude from Africa delays and delays.

Well, we now know how Obama failed. The Iranian government has sent a chimp into space and is now ahead of the United States in the chimp  race for space power. First the mullahs gained advantage in chimp strength, where next will they triumph??

Chuck Hagel, Real American

There is such an animal as the “Jewish Lobby” although for some reason the use of these words transforms one into a bigot. We discuss the Armenian lobby, the Irish Lobby, the Greek Lobby, the Farm Lobby, but it apparently is not kosher to use the word, Jew, without being termed an anti-Semite. Former Senator Chuck Hagel has been nominated to become Secretary of Defense and Republicans and the Jewish Lobby are up in arms because Chuck used the expression “Jewish Lobby.” He is also charged with being “anti-Israel.” Actually, those using that expression really mean-anti Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.

Hagel wants to parlay with Iran rather than shoot with Iran.  He wants to focus on diplomacy and avoid war. Of course, if he became Secretary of Defense he would be the first enlisted man to do so, the first who fought in Vietnam, and the first who knew the meaning of war and death. As Senator Durbin  said: “he served our nation in combat.” How many loud mouth senators have done that??

Ahmadinejad-Secret Heretic!

Recent comments by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reveal the presence of a secret secular man in charge of a fanatic religious government. In an amazing comment to the people of his  land, the president revealed a secret side to his way of thinking. “You cannot impose things b y  issuing decrees and directives, a choice imposed by force has no value  whatsoever. In some universities, female students are forced to wear the chador, but the way they are forced to wear it, it is  better not worn since it becomes worthless.!” Wow! Where has this Ahmadinejad been hiding for the past several years?

He also decried asking prospective government job seekers questions concerning their use of alcohol or their sexual activities since those behaviors are part of their personal life. He decried questioning male university student if they wanted to shave off their beard. Is this man the reverse Ahmadinejad?

God Is Watching Iranians

After hurried conversations with God Himself the Iranian government has issued new edicts. It appears that God does not want people to be flying in the sky during prayer time. The Iranian Parliament has issued a new decree making illegal having a plane flying up in the sky during prayer time, particularly during morning prayers. The government intends to forbid anything flying in the sky while people are at prayer and will make certain that women working at airports are really covered up.

After my own discussions with a variety of birds, I have encountered great concern among the bluebirds and hawks about not being able to fly during morning hours or during prayer time. Frankly, they are quite confused as to when humans pray and this may result in their own flying during hours that God ordered this ban. Frankly, birds are upset that God did not inform them of his anti-flying attitude. They want to know how come he created them to fly and now says,no flying!

Turkish Advice To Iran

The Turkish government has endeavored to maintain solid relations with Iran and, in many cases, defended their government against western actions. However,when Turkey accepted NATO and US offers of Patriot missile defense systems,  certain people in Tehran became rather upset. President Ahmadinejad exploded with vitriolic claiming the installation of such systems was a “provocative act” against peace in the region. Turkish Foreign Minister Davutogu responded with some advice to the Iranian government. “Our expectation from Iran is not for it to deliver statements on the arrival of defensive systems, but instead for it to give a very clear and sharp message to the Syrian regime. It should use its weight to help end the oppression in Syria.”

As the Turkish government made clear, it is not the West, it is not the US, and in this one case, not even Israel which is the culprit, it is a petty vicious tyrant named Bashar al-Assad. Statement by the Iranian military that such defensive systems are part of a plot to “create a world war” are simply nonsense.

Ayatollah Says Enough Is Enough

Iran is fortunate to possess a Supreme Leader which ensures this is one nation that will never have to endure the endless political ads which assault the eyes and minds of Americans. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei  told the  Iran Parliament that when he told them to interogate President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad he really didn’t mean for things to get nasty. He was simply sending a message to  the president that while he may have a title which makes him president of Iran, the real power resides in the Supreme Ruler. A petition submitted by 77 MPs in Parliament required Ahmadinejad to appear and explain rocketing inflation, the downward movement of  the rial an general disaster in the nation’s economy.

Khamenei decided enough was enough and Ahmadinejad got the message as to who really runs the country. No inquiry. Of course, the economy is still going down, the  monetary system has collapsed and the Ayatollah will never be summoned to explain how his ideas have led to the disaster of a collapsing economy.

He is the Supreme Leader!

Bibi Bets Wrong

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is rather arrogant and considers himself to be an authority on the Middle East and the United States of America. During the past two years in order to show clearly to President Obama that he is not in love with the Middle Eastern policy of Hillary Clinton, the man whose brother is arrogance decided to ignore reallity and bet on a Romney victory. Bibi met with Repubublican leaders on visits to the United States which is a flagrant interference in American politics by a foreigner. He has challenged President Obama, he has insulted the president and now must confront reality.

Most probably, the morning of November 7 is not the most welcome one for the Israel leader. Over in the wings is Ehud Olmert who has proposed intelligent peace plans  with Palestine leaders and his ideas will be in accord with Hillary Clinton and the president. There are reports that Bibi ordered his staff to shut up and not insult the American president.

Ah, Bibi, it is too bad the Mormon guy lost!

Is The United States Guilty Of Violating Laws?

The United Nations has decided to initiate investigations into whether or not use of drone planes violates international law. There is no question that drone attacks have not only led to the death of militants, they have caused the death of hundreds of innocent civilians. Earlier this year, Ben Emmerson, a UN special  rappoteur, in a speech at the Harvard Law School said killing of civilians who were attending funerals could be construed as an example of a war crime. “together with my  colleague Christof Heyns(Un special rappoteur on extra-judician killlings), I will be launching an investigation unit withint he special  procedures of the Un Human Rights Council to inquire into drone attacks.”

Mr. Emmerson also noted;

Secret detention is unlawful as a matter of international law.

Waterboarding is always  torture. Torture is an international crime.

When  will the United States accept the concept of international law?
