Newsmax???....

Obama is in a no win situation here,obviously he is pro-democracy but he doesn't want to meddle in Iranian elections.That said...Obama toughened his rhetoric on Friday in support of Iranian demonstrators protesting a disputed presidential election and criticized the Tehran government for its violent response. I'm not sure what more he could do at this juncture,some will not be pleased until an invasion is under way..

O.k., I guess I signed up for a few too many news letters last week?

i wouldn't trust Newsmax as far as I can thriw them, but I also wouldn't doubt Obama doing this in the first place; it's right up his alley...

I'd need to see a second source...

OPEN YOUR EYES!!

[QUOTE]The Center for Security Policy said veteran Iranian lobbyists, several of them former government officials, have been granted access to the Obama administration.

"A complex network of individuals and organizations with ties to the clerical regime in Teheran is pressing forward in seeming synchrony to influence the new U.S. administration's policy towards the Islamic republic of Iran," the report, titled "Rise of the Iran Lobby," said.

"Spearheaded by a de facto partnership between the National Iranian-American Council (NIAC), the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other organizations serving as mouthpieces for the mullahs' party line, the network includes well-known American diplomats, congressional representatives, figures from academia and the think tank world."

>>> Include Joe Biden in that group.

[QUOTE]

Obama began talks with the Iranian lobby during his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. The report, based on open sources, said Obama met a leading pro-Iranian lobbyist, Hassam Qazwini, head of the Islamic Center of America, in May 2008. Since then, Obama has been appointing or preparing to name such leading pro-Iranian speakers such as Richard Haas, Vali Nasr, Dennis Ross to senior positions in the administration. Ross has been selected to be Obama's special envoy to Iran. [QUOTE]



Yes, it is a "right-wing" site.
You don't really expect any left-wingers to publicize this, do you??

Obama Erases Pro-Democracy Money for Iran

No..open your eyes dude..look at the friken title above!...

Extreme sites have their own "agendas" no?..I "expect" Newmax to keep spinning bull****...it's what they do best! Do you honestly believe Obama is anti democracy and refuses to spend money on other nations seeking democracy? If so...about how much money would it take to take down a THEOCRACY?...as if any amount of money could do that..

Mayhaps Obama and crew know that the man in control is NOT... Ahmadinejad,it's the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and believe me..he has lots of money and power! Removing theocracy's are difficult if not impossible in "this" situation,it's going to take a lot more than money.

Actually, I do...

Obama believes in an international superiority when it comes to foreign policy and spits on American exceptionalism...To Obama, the United States is nothing more than a country that sits between United Kingdom and Uruguay in the directory of sovereign countries..

Although I don't believe the source, the rationale is completely believable (unfortunately)...

"Dude"?? How old are you? LOL.

...and mayhaps campaign contributions have something to do with it, too.

I was just thinking it showed he dropped the ball with current affairs.
I mean people are bloody in the streets. There's a rising consensus among Iranian citizens the election was fixed. It's all over the Internet.
This computer savvy administration picked a bad time to let this money dry up. It is a morale booster if nothing else to have the United States remain active in this way even if it is not the end all solution.
