RELATED II: Neutrality Isn’t an Option, by Mark Steyn.
“The mullahs stole this election on a grander scale than ever before primarily for reasons of internal security and regional strategy. But Obama’s speech told them that, in the “post-American world,” they could do so with impunity. Blaming his “agents” for the protests is merely a bonus: Offered the world’s biggest carrot, Khamenei took it and used it as a stick.
He won’t be the last to read Obama this way.”

*ABC Self Nationalizes for Obama, at IBD.
“Once upon a time, people would go into journalism to expose the seamy underbelly of American politics. Today, ABC News, in its abject submission to the Obama administration on health care, has decided to become the seamy underbelly.”
*White House now claims that the Iranian uprising was caused by Obama’s Cairo speech.
“But privately Obama advisers are crediting his Cairo speech for inspiring the protesters, especially the young ones, who are now posing the most direct challenge to the republic’s Islamic authority in its 30-year history.”
This is the same Obama who took over a week to tepidly condemn the murder of protesters in the streets. Unbelievable. (H/T Hot Air)

*Representatives of the Iranian regime are still invited to attend 4th of July celebrations at U.S. Embassies.
“It’s bad enough that the president is deliberately refraining from being too outspoken in favor of the freedom fighters who are being beaten, shot, and tear-gassed in the streets of Tehran. But that he’s still prepared to have America’s diplomats break bread with representatives of the very regime which is responsible for this terrible oppression, and to do it on the holiday that celebrates our own struggle for freedom–that’s too nauseating for words.”
