- speakinup, who is uninformed?
did you know that 1987 is when they hub-ub started about Iran-Contra? not when the events it reffered to occured?
go ahead, write another long diatribe about how informed you are and how uninformed everyone else is.
you''ll just end up looking almost as dumb as you actually are.
you should really ask before you start throwing the "liberal" accusation around, some of us aren''t liberals, some of us are true conservatives, that want less government and lower taxes. and would prefer the federal government keep their focus on protecting american citizens and not furthuring american corporations agendas. - Reply to this comment
- "The Iran-Contra scandal can be traced to the October Surprise during the 1980 Presidential election between incumbent Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. In the fall of 1980, Carter was marginally leading Reagan in the polls with the election right around the corner. The release of hostages before election day presumably would have insured the election for Carter. The Reagan team conspired to negotiate a deal with Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran. Campaign manager William Casey and George Bush met with Iranian Prime Minister Bani-sadr in Paris in October, only weeks before the election and with Carter having a slight lead over Reagan. Part of the deal cut between the Reagan team and Iran was to provide military weapons which Iran desperately needed in its war with Iraq. As it turned out, the 52 American hostages remained captive in Teheran. Carter''s popularity continued to plummet, enabling Reagan to be elected in November, and ironically the hostages were returned at 12 o''clock noon on January 21, 1981 when Reagan was inaugurated."

- "so your saying we should give them some more weapons and they will stop making nukes? because thats what reagan did for the hostages. Posted by nggr
What a pen-name "nggr", gee I wonder what that stands for ?
You expect ANYONE to believe Iran waited six years to get arms for the release of the hostages ?
The Iran/Contra scandal happend in ''87.
The hostages were released within minutes of Reagan being sworn in.
This is the typical response we get from un-informed far left folks on this web site.
It doesn''t matter if it isn''t true - they say it anyway.
Thenyou get some other well-intentioned know-it-all wanna be repeating the ''fact'', and the next thing you know, IT IS THE "TRUTH".
Just like 935 ''false statements'' becoming "lies". Look it up loser, the article NEVER used the word ''lie'' in shape way or fashion. You, being what you are, a liberal, took it upon yourself to build upon this statement, a huge ediface - none of which is true.

iran is about as unstable as saudi arabia.
its unfortunate their leaders have chosen a path at odds with the US and many other countries regarding their nuclear ambitions. if it weren''t for that I would say buy oil from Iran. I don''t have an answer for that one, but we still buy from venezuela and chavez is a d!ck. we still buy from saudi arabia and they cut little kids hands off for stealing and make excuses for groups of gang-raping men. its all a deal with the devil, so we should deal with him until we find a better way. because wasting american life for more profits is wrong in my book.
unless of course we actually were bringing these failed states into our union.
no reason to invade unless a declaration of war is issued and we have resolved to colonize the state afterwards, add a couple more stars to the flag.
I may be in agreement with that. - Reply to this comment

suffice to say that I have a LOT of problems with islam, radical or no. for that matter, all religions.
your spirtuality is personal, let noone tell you how or what to believe, it is not and has never been about the past, only about the present and future.
this does not mean I condone wiping out an entire race of people for their beliefs, that would be genocide, which I believe is part of their problem. I am just interested in defending the country that I live in. and I happen to believe that that process involves border security and energy independence. to me this does not include invading crippled countries in search of imaginary weapons and an alleged terrorist enemy within that did not exist pre-invasion. thats just plain irresponsible leadership. - Reply to this comment

Malparido, thats such a messed up word.... - Reply to this comment
- by the way,
we can BUY oil too. we dont have to secure it. we can BUY it. the only reason I can see to "secure" it is for exxon and co. to post record profits for the next 50 years.
