It appears that the Honduran military acted on a constitutional court order and it was the Honduran president whom was on a power grab.

Its awfully close to one set of freedom seeking people being thrown under the bus in Iran. Talk about ruining our standing in the world.

Although from a reliable ally website, Pitney’s yeoman’s efforts at in blogging events in Iran are legitimate. His question was poignant and summative. The President’s response certainly provided no comfort to the murderous regime and in fact clearly created seperated them from worldwide norms. The question will be whether or not he will create a consensus with political foes in the US by the strengthening of his message for Iran.

The ally, who declined to be named, spoke after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned the leaders of the mass street protests seen in Iran following a June 12 disputed presidential election that they would be responsible for any bloodshed.

At a demonstration in the capital on Thursday, Mousavi’s supporters carried banners saying they would gather again in downtown Tehran on Saturday afternoon.

“Mousavi has no plans to hold a rally tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and if he decides to hold a rally it will be announced on his website,” the ally said.

Is this strategic? Not giving Gaurd Units and Barsji any certain location could be sound. The protestors remarkably could be using Tet Offensive principles.

UPDATE: Or are they?

Gateway Pundit’s pictures of Hamas and Hezbollah shock troops deployed in Iran only means that they are there to do violence against Iranian citizens. The Iranian regime understands western news cycles. The weekend is upon us and will provide them the weakest news coverage.
