Ahmadinejad Laying Low. Rajavi Meets Prince Muqrin? Al-Waleed Under Fire? Tegucigalpa Fever: On GOP Incoherence, Jacobo Árbenz Guzmán, and Mohammed Mossadegh
Oddly, Alalam makes no mention on its front page of Ahmadinejad, the once and apparently next president for the next four years. He must be laying low, waiting for the storm to pass. Come to think of it, there was nothing about Ayatollah Khamenai either: unusual for the Middle East. Could he be laying low as well?
“Prince Khalid Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz al-Saud has demanded that the assets of his older brother Prince al-Waleed Bin Talal be seized, that he be prevented from elaving the country, accusing him of corruption and continuing immoral projects in Saudi Arabia…”Saudi WaveNot sure what to make of this one: maybe the guys and gals at CNBC will opine.
Watched
part of an incoherent speech by Sen. Jim de Mint (R-SC): he praised Iranian protesters and castigated
the mullahs and Obama. He then praised the right wing military coup in
Honduras.
Zelaya had close relations with
Chavez and Castro, hence the coup was “legal”!
The coup in Honduras was not a
tragedy, but a triumph of democracy!
He was followed by another speech, nearly
as dishonest, by Senator Mel Martinez (R-Fla). They both called recent legal
elections of ‘leftist’ leaders in Latin America illegitimate.
One perennially idiotic
senator, Jon Kyle (R-Ariz) said that ‘elections’ do not make a regime ‘legal’,
but that only ruling legitimately (i.e in the right wing way) makes a regime
legal.
Shades
of the good old days of the United Fruit Empire, Jacobo Árbenz Guzmán (Guatemala 1954), and Operation Ajax (Mossadegh 1953).
Who
the hell elects these retro-zombies to the US senate?
