File under: Govt of Iran

#1 This puts Ahmadi-nejad's Revolutionary Guards cronies in charge of election, oil, central bank, and the secret police.

If the Army sits it out, Ahmadi-nejad can take out any mullahs who oppose him, and already has the government executive branch locked up.

All he needs is an excuse for martial law.

Coup anyone?

Things could get very interesting in a hurry over there.

#2 Coup anyone?

#3 Does make you wonder the relative balance of power between Khameni and ShortRound, doesn't it? I'd put my markers on the former but now I'm beginning to wonder if Shorty is more clever by half.

The Army will sit it out, but not openly.
