The article referred to "unnamed government sources", so I'll treat this one with suspicion. Heck, even a janitor in the US Senate building could be a government source.

his reference was to the fact that Jimmy Carter did nothign while Tehran held our citizens hostage for 444 days- yet when Reagan became pres, tehran immediately released them- cuz they were scared of reagan stomping htem into the ground- they knew Carter wasn't going to do anythign to rescue our own citizens!

FrontPageMagazine.com reported on former CIA and National Security Council staffer Flynt Leverett, and the White House's effort to prosecute his publishing of classified material

According to Mr. Leverett, who was on C-SPAN recently, the CIA does not consider the material he wishes to publish to be classified.

Regime change is indeed REQUIRED in Damascus and Tehran. There is no other alternative.

They should have been shot on sight or on first knowledge they were Iranian. They are foreign invaders. Iran would not be able to protest because that would be an admission they are sending insurgents to Iraq. That would be an act of war against a sovereign nation.

Not a hollow point or a frangible bullet

The expand or disintegrate and rattle around the brain pan for a few micro secs

Thats why pros use .22 caliber handguns

Easy entry

No exit

They just bounce and "blend" like a Cuisinart inside the skull
