Iran Air pilots are joining the uprising

[coogebeachhotel]

According to Twitter many Iran Air pilots are threating to strike if the violence from the goverment in Iran gets any worse. These guys on their overnights in other countries are seeing on TV what people in Iran can not.

Ah, Twitter. The ultimate news source.
These guys strike, they will be murdered with the rest of the citizens there. Get used to it, King Hussien Obama will be ruling this country the same way in a couple of years.

What was so horrible with what I said? Are you blind to the fact that BHO is turning this country into a Socialist country?
I doubt you're Military. Boy Scouts doesn't count.

Yes, life under the Bush administration was just wonderful. Unchecked corporate greed leading to the worst recession since the 1930s, massive bank failures, government granting itself unchecked powers to detain and spy on its own citizens, a long war based on personal revenge and faulty intelligence that has cost thousands of American lives and hundreds of billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of American jobs lost or shipped overseas. What fun, why can't we have more of it?

Stop watching Fox News and listening to Rush Limbaugh. It is amazing what happens when you do, I speak from experience.

Yep- All Bush's fault!

-I guess Obama will just get to skate all through his presidency and blame everything on the previous white boy! (Really illustrates what a truly classy guy he is!)

People are way tired of that silly crap-you can listen to what you want, but it won't change the fact that the "Head Moron Who Is Be In Charge" has ALREADY spent more than all his predecessors COMBINED!

-The country is bankrupt!-it will just take a while for the world to figure it out!
-"Change" we should have passed up!

I've been following the Twitter feeds and Fark threads since this stuff began and, while you have to remember that half of it may not be legit, it's amazing to watch everything unfold in real-time and see what is confirmed later.

Technology like Twitter is what is helping enable, encourage, and organize the masses over there...

What does AMC stand for? Is that Air Mobility Command?

Funny, Bush and the Republicans inherited a balanced budget from a Democrat and proceeded to spend the next eight years overseeing massive government expansion, writing blank checks and racking up record deficits. Now five months into the Obama administration the Republicans are suddenly fiscally responsible? Give me $@*&#@ break! It takes a lot longer than five months to undo the massive damage done by Bush.

What is really funny is back when I was a loyal dittohead I would listen to Rush preach about what a massive failure Clinton would be, how he would be the end of America, and how the "tax and spend Democrats" would drive us into financial ruin. What we got was unprecedented economic growth and balanced budgets. Now Rush (joined this time by Fox News) is spewing the same garbage he was back in 1993 and once again the mindless drones are following blindly with total disregard for history. Thankfully some of us actually opened our eyes and realized how full of it the Republican pundits are.

Nobody really knows what the long term effects of the Obama policies will be, but we know for fact what the effects of the Bush administration are, and they are not good by any measure.

EDIT - I just have to add this. I was a Republican because I believed in personal freedom, fiscally sound government and strong foreign diplomacy. In my adult life the Democrats have been far better at those than the Republicans.

Maybe you should actually read some history rather than relying on MSNBC/NBC/ABC/CBS/PBS/New York Times, etc. The current recession we are in is the worst since Jimmy Carter was president, not the 1930's. It sounds to me like you need to expand your sources of information beyond the official govt propaganda machines.
