More on Iran
With the Iranian situation quickly out of hand on all sides I thought that I’d share this video from CNN.

Note how extremely uncomfortable the interviewer gets when the woman demands that “you people” [Americans] do something about the Iranian government.
Any other revelations you want to take away from it, like her screaming “This is Hitler” or people getting axed at universities. Quite ridiculous.
I don’t know…140% turnouts in a lot of areas with that kind of thing leading to an ‘extra’ 3 million votes kind of begs the question as to how else things were ‘extra’ in the election. That was certified by the Guardian Council too, basically an admission that the elections were fraudulent in, at least, one way. Of course, they also said that 3 million votes wouldn’t change the outcome…laughable that it all ended there.
And Vincent is right on.
Even if the elections weren’t fraudulent, the Iranian government has completely de-legitimized itself by sending snipers to do crowd control.
There’s no actual evidence that the Iranian elections were fraudulent. Every claim can be easily refuted by reasonable and factual counter-claims — see IranAffairs.com for the compilation.
