Ex-Obama military official hopes Trump backs Iranian protesters more than Obama did
by Kyle Feldscher | Dec 31, 2017, 10:31 AM

The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff wants the Trump administration to not make the same mistakes as the Obama administration and fully back protesters in Iran.

Retired Adm. Mike Mullen said on ABC’s “This Week” that President Obama should have backed Iranian protesters in 2009 more than he did. Now that protests are once again roiling the Islamic Republic, President Trump should throw his support behind them.

“We chose to not be as supportive as we could have been then,” Mullen said. “And I hope we can be right now so that Iran can continue to evolve. They have an incredibly young population. They look to a future that they cannot see. They've been promised change and a healthier economy.

In what way?

Would we like others supporting protestors here?

Actually Trump needs to chill and sit on his thumbs and wait this thing out.

I understand the need for great caution, but why would we not even want to express support of the protesters?

Rah Rah Sis Boom Bah....go Protesters.
California oranges. Texas cactus. We think you protesters need a little practice. Put 'em in a high chair, feed 'em with a spoon. Roll 'em up in toilet paper, kick 'em to the Moon!

There you go.

Cynicism is your answer?  Seriously, why wouldn't we support them?

 I wish I could say something classy and inspirational, but that just wouldn't be my style.
