Iran Watch

Things are once again heating up in Iran folks:

Video: 'Allah-O-Akbar' chants send chilling message to Iranian regime | The Green Voice of Freedom: "GVF -- Iranians took to rooftops once more on Monday night in another show of unity and voiced their support for the leaders of their Green Movement, Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mahdi Karroubi.

The move is part of a campaign by various reformist factions to send a clear and loud signal to Iranian authorities that any action against the two popular politicians would constitute a breach of a dangerous red line. In recent weeks there have been growing fears that the Iranian regime might be planning to stage further attacks against 2009 presidential candidates Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mahdi Karroubi in order to finally put an end the opposition Green Movement. Security forces, Basij militia and the IRGC have in recent weeks, shown a readiness to carry out raids against the office of former prime minister Mir Hossein Mousavi, vandalise the house of Mahdi Karroubi and attack mosques and centres affiliated with pro-reform Muslim clerics such as the outspoken cleric Ayatollah Dastgheib."

And I'm guessing you might have missed this little story:

After last week's Stuxnet disclosures, it was only a matter of time before the viral sabotage was flushed into the open, with Iran confirming that it had been in fact attacked. As expected, Al-Jazeera has just confirmed that not only has Bushehr been infected, but so have numerous other industrial sites all over Iran. Yet despite the pervasive attack, "no damage or disruption of nuclear facilities has yet been reported, however." What is surprising is that Iran has made such a major media splash on the topic: one would assume that demonstrating such broad cyberdefensive weakness would not be in the country's favor...

More from Al-Jazeera:

Iran's nuclear agency is trying to combat a complex computer worm that has affected industrial sites throughout the country and is capable of taking over the control systems of power plants, Iranian media reports have said.

I'd like to assure you that the war with Iran hasn't just broken out but unfortunately I can't.

Congress O Dictators Properly Rebuked

I know, I know. The record's O stuck, the record's O stuck with my titles. But at least you can't accuse me of failing the department O redundancy department now, can you?

But don't let it distract you from watching the video. You'll stand up and shout that you're not dead yet.

I had to pile on some offsetting humor. Because this is not humorous in the least.

But unfortunately it is entirely accurate.

How The Marches Will End

Will somebody please explain to me how it is that placing a ballistic missile defense system in Poland has any hope of stopping a Russian ICBM attack against the continental U.S.? Putin is ROFL.

And how out of all of our options outside of Russia itself (let me hold my breath) an American President would consider placing a ballistic missile defense against Iran for the American homeland anywhere other than Poland or the Czech Republic?

We have such an epic educational fail in this country that people apparently can't even pick up a globe and trace an ICBM trajectory a line on it.

The only good news is that we're soon going to be able to save money out of our precious family budgets by no longer funding marches on Washington. Because since stupidity is self correcting there won't be a Washington left to march on.

Unless the Green Revolution succeeds. Which seems closer to happening than I dared hope. It's very interesting about the timing of Iran acquiring nukes and the people throwing caution to the wind -- “Tanks, rape and torture have no effect anymore”. Moussavi certainly knows how close his fellow nut-jobs really are to the bomb. He started them down the path after all.

Pray for the success of the Green Revolution. (No, not the Van Jones one.)

And pray for America as well.
