Wow. I was browsing around Iranian dissident sites today and found this gem. I could have titled this post “Reason 2,375 That I Hate Jimmy Carter,” but that would have given him too much recognition in the title. He doesn’t deserve it.
You must go to this site and watch this video. It’s from InfoLive.TV, and this clip is rather long but well worth watching. It’s with Iranian opposition leader, Kavey Mohseni, who speaks from his exile in Paris. He discusses life under the Teheran regime and ways it could be changed from within.
Even after all the latest exposure of Armitage and his complete and total responsibility of discussing Valerie Plame (not a covert CIA agent) with Robert Novak, and Novak’s recent admonisions about Armitage still not telling the complete truth, some of the left-wing liberal bedwetters still can’t let Karl Rove or any of the Bush Administration off the hook.
On Fox News Watch yesterday, one of the topics was the Armitage story, and the conversation was going fine until….. Neal Gabler was poked. Jim Pinkerton was speaking of how Armitage has ruined everyone else’s reputation, and wondered how Karl Rove was going to get his back? You might have just said “sic ‘em, Neal!”
Neal: Wait a minute, Rove was implicated. He corroborated a story. Lookit…the GOP can spin this any way they want to, but the bottom line is Rove was implicated, Libby was implicated, and they tried to smear…
Jim: Bottom line is, Neal won’t give up.
Jim’s right. And why continue to argue? You’ll still hear the same ol’ same ol’ about Rove and Libby, so Jim took the smartest path. Be quiet and let the idiots blabber.
I agree with Jane Hall from Fox News Watch yesterday, when she refers to the recently released picture of a tight group of Taliban attending a funeral, and our bureaucracy wouldn’t allow us to take them out. Jane said “it makes us look dumb.” I concur.
A bit later on, Jim Pinkerton loses his conservative mind momentarily and brings up the Geneva Convention. You know, that pesky little treaty of which the Taliban nor Al Qaeda are a part? Well, Cal Thomas set Jim straight on this one.
Cal: I don’t see any of these beheaders saying, ‘you know, because of the Geneva convention, I’m going to cut off fewer heads.’ I don’t think there’s a relationship (between this missed opportunity and the Geneva Convention).
Jim: Under the Geneva Convention, if you cut off someone’s head you can be punished.
Cal: Pshhh…
Jim: If you eliminate the Geneva Convention, then how can you punish someone?
Cal: This picture we just saw is the perfect opportunity to punish them and we didn’t!
Bravo Cal! I was actually surprised by Jim’s response in this manner, but at least even liberal Jane came to balance on this one. We did look dumb. And weak. And that’s very dangerous for all of us.
According to a Press Release just hitting the circuit today, Iranian activists are demanding the arrest of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for the violation of human rights in Iran. Wow!
