US Turns Up Pressure on Iran After Egypt Ousts Mubarak

[Casino67]

AOLNews.com:

WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration sent a not-too-subtle message to Iran today that the uprising in Egypt that led to the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak could spread and reinvigorate demands for more freedom in Tehran.

In a speech in Louisville, Ky., Vice President Joe Biden called the events in Egypt "a pivotal moment in history" and said it was time to let the people of Iran speak out freely.

"I say to our Iranian friends: Let your people march, let your people speak, release your people from jail, let them have a voice!" Biden said to loud applause of the University of Kentucky.

Later, speaking in his last news conference as White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs read from his briefing book to say the Iranian government is "quite frankly scared of the will of its people" in light of the call for democracy in Egypt.

“Oh, God love you. What am I talking about?

I’ll tell you what, you’re making everybody else stand up, old pal.

I’ll tell you what, everybody else stand up for Chuck.

Stand up for Chuck!”
