I don’t know who Gerald Warner is, but I like him. Short and to the point. [Obama] is as flaky on Iran as on everything else.

It’s impossible to predict the outcome of events in Iran with certainty but it certain that things have changed. Iran, next week or next month, will be different. Obama is definitely letting event run him over. If he has a goal with American-Iran relations he’s not working on it today.

Curiously, Caroline Glick, in today’s jpost has a column, the main point of which, is that Israel should publicly side with the protesters in Iran. Not really sure if she’s right but she has some good arguments, not least of which is that it would be a sharp stick in the eye to Obama. It’s hard to know what outsiders could do to affect internal Iranian affairs. I’m sure that the mullahs are prepared to kill thousands of Iranians to hold fast to power. I’m not sure what anyone outside Iran is prepared to do to stop them.

I was slightly amazed by the remarks of the supreme leader that the election was completely legitimate. Maybe it’s just me but I have difficulty imagining standing up in front of people and the whole world and lying in a way that everyone knows is a lie. Not to mention the guy is reputedly a man of god. Even Obama has to know that the election was a complete fraud and his intention to meet and greet with these bald-faced liars is the hight of folly.

I guess the supreme leader is like dinner jacket when he said that there were no gays in Iran, even though they hang Iranians for being gay. Words mean what they want them to mean. The mistake is in believing anything they say.
