#1 This is the asshole responsible for Iran Contra and emasculating the CIA.

#2 I believe the Shah of Iran was also cut off at the knees to allow the ayatollah Khomenei to bless the world with its first islamofascist regime. Good call Stan. Did he help on Desert One also?

Don't forget Angola.

#4 The thing that burns my behind and builds the boiler pressure are statements from sanctimonious alpha hotels like Jimmuh and Turner about torture and other things in the midst of a war for our survival. These guys hide behind the defensive shield put up by the vigilance and even the sacrifice of lives of our military and spew out this crap without fear of retribution or personal harm.

My buddy who was involved in the 1979 hostage rescue operation was abandoned in the mountains behind Teheran by Jimmuh's orders. He spent 4 months of hell escaping and evading out of Iran with his group of 4. You want to see fury, say Jimmuh and ask what he thinks of him. Stand back!

#5 it's also interesting that Reagan always gets the bad press for sending arms and money to the mujahaden in Afghanistan and it was (guess who) Jimmy (Peace Prize) that started the whole thing.

#6 The Democrats are starting to roll out all their "heavy" guns.

Wanna lob a return volley that would devastate Peanut Head and his lackeys? Create a commercial with a minute long montage of stills and video clips of the four hundred forty four day Iran hostage crisis, and end with a narrator's voice saying,

"Former President Carter has no valid grounds on which to criticize the current administration for its actions in the Middle East...."

Fade to black.

Stansfield Turner can go screw himself. He is a total disgrace to our nation.
