Iran Watch

Alright, folks, lots of news today. Here's what I've got.

AP: China Acknowledges Incident Between Submarine, US Ship

CNN: Analysts pore over 'ambiguous' Iran results - "Ambiguous" my ass!

BBC: Mali army 'attacks al-Qaeda base'

Guardian: "The US president has once again demonstrated his unflappable cool – this time by gracefully swatting a pesky Musca domestica" - Oh for crying out loud, the Guardian compliments President Obama on his fly-swatting? This is just getting retarded. Related from the Times: E-mails reveal racist side of Republicanism. So, Republicans are racist, but Barack Obama's amazing for swatting at flies? Seriously, British journalists are deranged.

Guardian: Iran widens jamming of BBC as Revolutionary Guard cautions bloggers - This interests me for two reasons, first because I've studied electronic jamming, and second because I listen to Iran's state-run radio propaganda station (which obviously isn't jammed).

Times: German soldiers 'drink and complain too much to fight Taleban'

Times: Foreign fighters join Afghan insurgents

blogtalkradio: Iran: Party LIke it's 1979 - The Rick Moran Show, featuring Kevin Sullivan and Michael Totten. Just a reminder, follow Totten's live blogging at Commentary Magazine, which will continue through today.

Just for fun: Another reminder about Oleg Volk's blog, featuring hot girls shooting guns, compliments of Chops.

You should always read everything that I link to, but if you only read one thing today, it should be the following piece by Times commentator Daniel Finkelstein: Fancy that. They want freedom. Just like us. The money quote?

The protests for Mr Mousavi expose the lie that there is something Western in wanting democracy and human rights.

I have things to do, so that's it for today. Check in tomorrow for AMF, and have a fantastic day.
