THIS TIME AROUND, Iran’s coup d’etat will not be televised…
Iran's Revolutionary Guard
Check out what Ahmadinejad and the boys; i.e., the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, are up to as they seize control of the so called “people’s” Islamic Republic: http://www.economist.com/world/middleeast-africa/displaystory.cfm?story_id=14327633

His speeches used to make us swoon. Who could forget the inspiring watershed stump on the eve of his historic victory? Promises of transparency, healing partisan wars, burying “politics as usual.” And imagine, America’s first African American President. We all had such high hopes.
That all changed when the real Mr. President came out to play. The day he unveiled his plan for Israel my rose tinted
view faded. Nagging doubts juggernauted to fruition–there were chinks in the armor.
US policy out of the blue dictated: no Israeli settlements–not now, not ever.
Never mind the 300,000 Israeli settlers to be rendered homeless. Sure, easy for some American Jews to accept–they have a beef with the ultra Orthodox who comprise a vast majority of West Bank settlers. I don’t share the same view. Like them or not–Orthodox Jews are my brethren.
On July 20th, I tweeted “US pushes for Jews NOT to build in E. Jerusalem? Why do I feel like we’re being told to ’sit in the back of the bus’? Obama knows better”…and I meant it.
What do I find most disturbing about Obama’s down with the settlements policy? The methodical plotting that went down behind the scenes.
Basically, Obama and his “Political Advisors” got together, conducted “market research,” and concocted a plan to drive a wedge in the Jewish Community.
His advisors concluded the settlements were an issue American Jews were divided on. Therefore, we can and will strong arm Israel–not the Arabs, to make concessions–give up settlements to forge Middle East peace regardless of the damning consequences to the Jewish State–and there are many.
The astute immediately forged the salient argument–freezing and dismantling settlements would not even bring 
Palestinians to the table. Time proved them right.
Obama sought to turn Jewish brother against brother to achieve his politcial aims. In the end, this grand Machiavellian plan exposed Obama to be a calculating, premeditating–and coldblooded man.
Obama’s beautiful words were once so alluring–inspiring.
Today his speeches fall on deaf ears. It’s as though I fell for a guy, only to find he’s a fortune hunter who cheated on me with my best friend.
We’ve all been there right? Guess I’m trying to say–you’re not the man I thought I knew, President Obama.
