But they -- rigged election now is this -- the start of a revolution after -- body president Caspian energy consulting joins us fantasy about crap out of first thought we would ever but I but Ahmadinejad the last couple years and I want to strike it is -- how horrible is I agree he's horrible but most savvy is this much of an option --"

" Moussaoui as a child of the running revolution he is a follower of the Ayatollah Khomeini but the point here about Moussaoui has this he has become the instrument. In the hands of the people but people are using -- Sunday to affect change and that's the key here it is all of us is key and could man. Moussaoui is not going to change Iran in --"

" This history and when I read city like execute a thousand people yeah well in that time span of three weeks in the early eighties yes there was some thousand and -- 7000 -- yes but the point -- good good good I just said that doesn't -- like a good choice maybe that Ahmadinejad wants to strike Italy Israel rather Italy Italy already. I want destroy Israel and then it got most savvy who actually oversaw the exchange of 7000 people in the eighties that's the choice and this is why."

" I think we the United States need to realize one thing and one -- very clearly. These are not free and fair elections imagine if the Supreme Court of the United States decides who runs for office I'd go that we've had some dispute about that --"

" I'm the -- debt even if one of these two men met a select and that's not an -- to -- so to speak. If she Ayatollah -- who actually runs the country for -- writes it doesn't it how much power does the president here's here's the commercial was."

" Number I -- not necessarily in agreement with. I think what you're seeing -- is the ascendancy of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad job. And the military security forces and harmony. The overtaking of how many in the next several months by the military security establishment and Ahmadinejad -- becoming firmly in control with the -- whole economy as a puppet in his hand Mississippi this you have spoken to people who are inside Iran now what -- they -- They want. Everybody including Fox News all the other networks BBC I don't cost less to tell the story of the -- people that they're protesting not for mr. Moussaoui. But against the regime that over thirty years has -- economic freedom social freedom women's rights religious minorities."

" I don't have to -- when this is all over let's say Ahmadinejad winds almost people who are like calling on say -- we have to report on the state. I can't imagine things -- very good for them. No I mean not assume that at 7000 Rex acute of an -- by -- I'm not happy politician just to say the latest. Women the people who are now protesting now against existing ratio at that existing regime is the one who."

" Ultimately wins these people are in deep trouble yes good regime will show no mercy but that's no -- means death right and -- and -- not joke about that yeah. Yeah I know we're sort -- executed -- I mean when when you have. Basically. Passive tone in the face of women because -- Herschel was a little you can imagine what they'll do to someone who's actually protesting against the regime but this is where I think. Putting President Obama -- the United States congress has a moral obligation as our representatives. To stand up. And say we condemn this the United States congress had -- good."

" And I so I think when you think you did you think -- here's a -- congress says we condemn new."

" Well I think I think -- he may not care. But I think those whom we seeing on the streets of Tehran that's what we're appealing moments absolutely I hear. Today but -- information. Into Iran so that they're gonna they're hearing this kind of thing absolutely one of the best assets the United States government how. This is the Voice of America Persian language service on any given night Greta twenty million U -- are watching. Twenty million this have been we've got an asset that we can use that asset that's -- and US congress. If it gets on the bandwagon supporting you want that message we'll get into we want via the provisional influenced by the and I thank you very much thank very much."
