Iranian of the Day

Nasr has no association with NIAC!

Please correct me if I am wrong. But I believe NIAC has no relationship with Dr. Nasr. It seems like they are just trying to get credit for it, as they always try to get credit for others' work.

This post by NIAC does nothing but to undermine Mr. Nasr! It only taints him as it associates him with a group that is under numerous accusations.

I've never seen any interview of Parsi or any mention of Nasr in NIAC's membership or see him listed as an advisers on their site.

Mr. Nasr has no agenda, and watching all his interviews, it's clear he is by far the most knowledgeable person about the region on Obama's team.

However, he has no diplomatic experience, so hopefully, this will give him the hands on experience needed for him to later take on higher position, i.e. deputy secretary of state or special envoy to the region.

All these kind and classy Iranians

Ahhhhhh isn't it beautiful. We  are not crazy at all.

I wrote this in A's blog, but I'll re-write it here. Nasr is a GREAT pick. He can advise and warn President Obama about IRI behavior better than anyone. He is in touch with reality rather than "let's bomb them. starve them. draw up war games and get in! strangle those mullahs woohoo!" 

Hillary better listen up!  

Also, Nasr is one fine lookin man. Jesus Christ! Have you seen these other fat, bald (not that there's anything really wrong with that), frowning advisers? Bush had a bunch of kabob over eating fake scholars, Obama goes for the gold. Awesome! Makes me proud. 

Descendant of Sheykh Fazlollah Nouri

I don't know why you IRI supporters are badmouthing this guy already! RELAX!

Read his bio and click on his daddy's name to see how his ancestor is Fazlollah Nouri:

Congrats to NIAC!

This is indeed a victory for all Iranians across the globe. Mr. Nasr's voice and his distinguished thought process to convey logic and common sense is admirable. Alwyas loved watching him talk.

worst kind of collaborators

I would equate Dr. Nasr's appointment as special foreign policy advisor in Barack Obama's administration as an insult to all Iranians. Specifically, those who endured 37 years of tyrrany, respression, injustice, genocide, and corruption under the despotic Pahlavi rule. Perhaps a good piece of advise Dr. Nasr could give Barack is KEEP YOUR DIRTY LITTLE FINGERS OFF OF IRAN!!!!

Fred, stop with the nonsense

have you actually listened to this guys talks or are you just repeating the the same bullshit talking points the MKO folks, pro-shahi elements and zionists spew out? Read his works much? This guy is more insightful than you will ever be. Get a life.

Fered!

Oh oh, this is all you have to say?! No exclamation point after "not"?! NOT even all caps?! What's up buddy cat cut your tongue?!

Or is this "serious"?!

اوباما گزینه نظامی را امکان پذیر می داند

سخنگوی کاخ سفید: اوباما گزینه نظامی را امکان پذیر می داند
رادیو فرانسه: به دنبال چاپ مطلبی در شماره روز پنجشنبه روزنامه "گاردین" چاپ انگلیس ، مبنی بر اینکه دولت "باراک اوباما " پیش نویس نامه ای آشتی جویانه را برای رهبران دولت جمهوری اسلامی ایران تهیه کرده است ، "رابرت گیبز" سخنگوی رییس جمهوری جدید ایلات متحده آمریکا ، رسمأ این خبر را تکذیب کرد.

روزنامه "گاردین" در مقاله ای با عنوان "افشاگری" ، متذکر شده بود که اعضای کابینه آقای "اوباما" از روزیکه وی به سمت ریاست جمهوری انتخاب شد مشغول تهیه این نامه هستند و تا کنون سه پیش نویس مختلف نیز تحت بررسی قرار گرفته شده است.

نامه ای که بنا به اطلاعات "گاردین" لحنی آشتی‌جويانه دارد و در واقع يك فاصله‌گيری نمادین است با سیاست دولت "جورج بوش" رييس جمهوری سابق آمريكا که "جمهوری اسلامی ايران" را بخشی از محور شرارت به حساب می آورد.

به نوشته "گاردین"دولت آمریکا در این نامه از مقامات جمهوری اسلامی می‌خواهد تا به عملکردی را که آمريكا آنرا حمايت از تروريسم می‌خواند پايان دهند و همچنین تأکید کرده اند که به هیچ وجه قصد سرنگون کردن دولت جمهوری اسلامی را ندارند.

در این رابطه ، "رابرت گیبز" سخنگوی رییس جمهوری آمریکا با تکذیب این خبر اظهار داشت که نه آقای "اوباما" و نه خانم "کلینتن" وزیرامور خارجه خواهان نگارش چنین نامه ای شده اند و نه کسی از وجود این نامه خبر دارد.

وی متذکر شد که موضع سیاسی آقای "اوباما" در قبال ایران تغییر نکرده و او کماکان هر گزینه ای را اعم از دیپلماسی و یا برخورد نظامی امکان پذیر می داند و به گفته آقای "اوباما" ، آمریکا باید برای حفظ منافع خود دربرابر جمهوری اسلامی ایران ، از تمامی عناصر قدرت ملی خود استفاده کند.

Iranians who collaborate with US government

Iranians of both right-wing and "liberal" stripes who collaborate with the Number One enemy of the Iranian people (and all humanity), i.e. the lousy and warmongering US government, rightly deserve to be called traitors and treated as such.

NIAC lobby & Nasr

The plot thickens, not.
