Palestinian Hamas members are helping the Iranian authorities crush street protests in support of reformist presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, two protesters told TheJerusalem Post On Tuesday.They made their allegations as rioting on a scale unseen in Iran for nearly a decade continued in the wake of the elections and the allegations that the results were falsified. The protests have now spread from Teheran to other major cities.
Mousavi insisted on Tuesday that he would "protect" his supporters' votes "at all cost, even if I am at risk."
Shouting from a car roof to a roaring crowd of supporters, he declared: "The pillars of the revolution have been shaken... We must not be silent."
Good luck to him on that.
Meanwhile, apparently our President believes he can "dialogue" with the Muslim Brotherhood:
From Gertz, (link behind paid subscription wall) quietly buried in a story about Obama avoiding all first person contact with Mubarak's son...Gamal (which can be understood, frankly)... HOWEVER...
Unlike Bush, Obama has signaled that he would seek a dialogue with Egypt's opposition movement, the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama also suggested that his administration would recognize any MB victory, including in parliamentary elections scheduled for 2010 in Egypt."There are some who advocate for democracy only when they are out of power; once in power, they are ruthless in suppressing the rights of others," Obama said. "No matter where it takes hold, government of the people and by the people sets a single standard for all who hold power: you must maintain your power through consent, not coercion."
RELIAPUNDIT ADDS:
AND JIMMY CARTER IS HELPING HAMAS. SO JIMMY IS IN EFFECT STILL HELPING THE MULLAHS OF IRAN JUST AS HE DID WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT.

The chance to topple the maniacal regime in Tehran is right-there for the taking... and Obama is standing frozen like a deer in the headlights.
Our False Prophet appears to have no idea what a golden opportunity he is passing up... overthrow this evil regime without firing a single shot... get their Armageddon-inspired nuke program off the world stage... and free 30 million people all at one time. But the boy wonder is too stupid to see it... or somehow just doesn't care?
I agree.
Are you Tanstaafl. I'd swear I saw that same comment over at Roger Simon's site, credited to Tanstaafl.
American involvement in revolutions has only ever ended in war. If Obama came out and blatantly supported the protester's it would give credit to the Iranian government's accusations and almost certainly "justify" there use of deadly force to stomp out the protests. Don't think for a second that Obama, or Americans, are not going to help the protesters. Just look at all the twitter proxy servers Americans are setting up just so that Iranian Citizen Journalists can tell their story. Walk quietly and carry a big stick.
