Liz Cheney Tries to Topple the Mullahs

At least that’s one view from Tehran:

AFTER weeks of efforts to find someone to blame for the post-election insurrection, the Khomeinist regime in Tehran has finally found the ideal culprits: Liz Cheney and George Soros. Never mind that the financier and Dick Cheney’s daughter are on opposite ends of the political spectrum. Tehran propaganda says that they joined to set millions of Iranians marching against the Khomeinist regime…. Then, the tale goes, Soros and several US think tanks started sending their agents to Iran to recruit and train operatives for regime change. And the Bush administration created a special Iran center in Dubai, modeled on the Riga Center that Washington set up to subvert the Soviet Union in the 1930s. With Liz Cheney as the supposed coordinator, the plot supposedly soon won the support of several European countries.

THE WEEKLY STANDARD has been unable to reach Cheney for comment, presumably because she’s off fomenting more Muslim unrest, this time in Western China. We will update as soon as we hear anything…
