The recent Iranian elections remind me of the Iraqi elections when Saddam Hussein one with 99% of the votes. You just can't do any better than that.
The Iranians were really smart enough to let their winner win by 60% of the vote. Now that's cheating with a brain! There is no doubt in my mind that these elections were rigged.
But then again one might ask what difference does it make? The real leadership
is the Supreme Council, a bunch of religious talking heads who are basically the man behind the curtain. The man who would be prime minister has stated he is for free speech. But what does that mean? A complete dismantling of the Iranian secret police? I don't think so. It certainly won't be long before he is no different than the current prime minister. And I say that simply because the current prime minister basically has no power and really makes no final decisions. Thing he does can be overruled or instituted once again by the supreme Council.
The candidate who has declared he is the winner says that he is also going to pursue a nuclear program but is currently in place, for peaceful energy production. Or so they say. Once again the supreme Council will decide exactly what happens with that nuclear program.
Here are just a couple of interesting facts gleaned from Jack Cafferty's webpage on CNN
According to the official results, Ahmadinejad won in all regions of the country and among all classes and ages, which is highly unlikely. For example, Ahmadinejad won in cities where he is unpopular; and the opposition leader, Mir Hossein Moussavi, lost among his own ethnic group. Also, there were 40 million votes cast and just two hours after the polls closed, Ahmadinejads victory was announced. In Iran there are no machines. All the votes have to be hand counted.
I think anyone with a brain can see that this election was little more than hogwash. And no attempt was made to hide that fact. The only thing that matters in this election is that the Supreme Council had a p.m. who played ball and gave no trouble. I wonder if we are going to attack Iran next?
Now we have to do with people's asking, what is Obama going to do about this? What should he do about it? Until he has irrefutable proof that there was cheating in this election there is absolutely nothing he can do.
it has now been decided that they are going to investigate the election. I have are from a pretty high source that absolutely nothing will be done about it even if proof is given that the elections were rigged. How could they ever admit that they were rigged? Would they ever admit it? Oh hell no.
