2. Reports: Regime blames Obama by intentional mistranslation; coerced "confessions" from captured
Edited on Sat Jun-20-09 12:41 PM by seafan
From Sullivan:

12.53 pm. The state media are putting words into Obama's mouth:

This morning a friend of NIAC who gets Iranian Satellite TV here said that state-run media showed President Obama speaking about Iran this morning. However, instead of translating what he actually said, the translator reportedly quoted Obama as saying he “supports the protesters against the government and they should keep protesting." Assuming this report is correct, it shows the Iranian government is eager to portray Obama as a partisan supporting the demonstrators.


So the Khamenei regime wants the same posture from the Obama as Krauthammer and Wolfowitz. They just don't know what they're talking about, do they?



From Pitney:

12:35 PM ET -- "U.S. behind the attacks." A reader sends in this unverified note: "Hi I'm located in Dubai but we have access to Iranian State T.V. here. I just witnessed a program on official state television depicting young Iranians with there faces blurred 'testifying' to visiting the U.S. and being trained and told by the americans to cause unrest and chaos in Iran."




The regime is in a corner as it is now trying to make this into *America against Iran* and NOT the actual truth that the people are rebelling against their own repressive, brutal leadership.


The regime is using all those years of George W. Bush's covert ops against Iran, as a weapon now, to foment hatred and violence against the Iranian people, while Bush and his fellow war criminals still walk free.


The cancer of the Bush years spreads.
