#1 If the Mullah regime can count to two they KNOW how this is all going to end. ONE: Move as much of the money out of the country to somewhere you can settle in...start NOW. TWO: Buy the tickets and pack Momma.

If they think force is gonna work against everybody and his brother plus the dog, they didnt finish their Wheaties. Its going to get WORSE in progressive stages.Once they start shooting ( do I hear gunfire) its already too late.

You dont shoot your own citizens and expect to stroll down to the corner afterwards to buy sunglasses. What you are gonna get is gasoline and broken windows. And clue you, they know where you live and at some point the "guards" arent gonna show up for work and its too late to get to the Airport.

You dont want to be looking through the blinds at the street when they are already inside the building, Poncho.

And if you are gonna stay and sit it out? Yeah.
Good Luck. The Maid and the Chauffeur are gonna do better than you are.

#2 Yes the mullahs have been stung badly.

Yes the protesters have momentum.

But, the IRG etc. still have a lot of very deadly weapons and their are ideological enforcers throughout the regular army.

This could go on for a while.

Meantime, the Obama machine will have time to plan how to take credit for any good that comes out of this.

#3 No - they'll take credit for having stayed out of it, no matter how it turns out*.

*Frankly, I don't think the mullahs are going to go any time soon. At best you'll end up with a Nicaraguan solution in a few years. At worst, a significant reduction in the population via deaths or exile. The regime has a lot of chips it can call in from places like Lebanon. The Russians would likely be happy to lend technical support - for a price.

#4 The Russians would likely be happy to lend technical support - for a price.

Or not - fore a price. Perhaps an opening bid of withdrawing our anti-missile defense from Eastern Europe?

#5 I'm in no position to speculate on their chances but from what I've seen in the videos these people are extremely pissed off. They are so pissed off that they are fighting with sticks and stones against armed security forces. They're getting shot at, they can't shoot back, but they keep charging and throwing rocks. It's been going on for several months. Maybe if they could find a strategic target like an armory or something and take it...or if the government had trouble paying the soldiers...

#6 strategic target like an armory or something

Like maybe a 'poorly guarded' US weapons depot or convoy just over the border in Iraq or A'stan or Turkey that maybe somebody in their midst knew about?
