The FP Interview: Mohsen Makhmalbaf In an exclusive interview from Paris, Mir Hossein Mousavi’s external spokesman describes this week’s protests in Iran as another revolution — and Mousavi as Iran’s Obama. Foreign Policy: There has been growing criticism here in Washington that U.S. President Barack Obama hasn’t said or done enough to support those demonstrating in the streets of Iran. Do you think Obama is being too careful? Or even that he is helping Ahmadinejad by being cautious? Mohsen Makhmalbaf: Obama has said that there is no difference between Ahmadinejad and Mousavi. Does he like it himself [when someone is] saying that there is no difference between Obama and [George W.] Bush? Ahmadinejad is the Bush of Iran. And Mousavi is the Obama of Iran. Foreign Policy: Would Mousavi pursue a different foreign policy than Ahmadinejad? Mohsen Makhmalbaf: As you may know, former President Mohammad Khatami, who is supporting Mousavi at the moment, was in favor of dialogue between the civilizations, but Ahmadinejad talks about the war of the civilizations. Is there not any difference between the two? Foreign Policy: Does Mousavi have a message that he’d like to deliver to the international community? Mohsen Makhmalbaf: [He asks] that the governments [of the world] pay attention to the people in the streets and do not recognize the government of Ahmadinejad as the representative of Iran — [that they] do not recognize the government of Ahmadinejad as a legitimate government. |
Bush = Obama = Ahmadinejad

J’adore celle-là.
Mais où sont donc les Obamistes pour venir défendre leur messie ?

over sampled democrats to pretend that Americans want nationalized health care:
Americans overwhelmingly support substantial changes to the health care system and are strongly behind one of the most contentious proposals Congress is
considering, a government-run insurance plan to compete with private insurers, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.The poll found that
most Americans would be willing to pay higher taxes so everyone could have health insurance and that they said the government could do a better job of
holding down health-care costs than the private sector.Yet the survey also revealed considerable unease about the impact of heightened government involvement,
on both the economy and the quality of the respondents’ own medical care. While 85 percent of respondents said the health care system needed to be fundamentally
changed or completely rebuilt, 77 percent said they were very or somewhat satisfied with the quality of their own care.
But,

discovered the Old Gray Lady spoke with two democrats for every one Republican polled:
According to the actual poll data, of the 73% of respondents who said they voted in 2008 only 34% voted for McCain and 66% for Obama. The actual vote was
48% McCain. So, 29% of McCain voters ignored by the poll must not be Americans, according to the NYTs methodology, and there are about as much an overpolling
of Obama voters. NYT’s Shady Lady polling.

Obama Erases Pro-Democracy Money for Iran
Newsmax has learned that the Obama administration also has zeroed out funding for pro-democracy programs inside Iran from the State Department budget for
fiscal 2010, just as protests in Iran are ramping up.
Funding for pro-democracy programs began in 2004, when Congress earmarked $1.5 million of the State Department budget for “educational, humanitarian, and
non-governmental organizations and individuals inside Iran to support the advancement of democracy and human rights in Iran.”
The funding ramped up dramatically two years later, when Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice requested $75 million for pro-democracy programs. More than
half of the $66.1 million Congress finally appropriated went to expand U.S. government-funded Persian language broadcasting services at Voice of America
and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
But no money has been earmarked for such programs in the administration’s fiscal 2010 foreign operations budget request. Congressional sources told Newsmax
they doubted that a Democrat-controlled Congress would add it when the budget comes before a committee next week.
Controversy has surrounded the programs from the start, with pro-regime lobbying groups, such as the National Iranian-American Council urging the State
Department to cancel the funding.
