Sure he was Jackson you jack@ss. Thats why we took him down and him face his people for his crimes against them. These leftist @sses are preaching that we should "talk" to our enemies, but when we do that, they yurn around call them our "allies" in a lame attempts to score political points when we try establish diplomatic relations and send someone to shake his hand.
That's exactly what Jack@ss is referring to, the pic of Rumsfeld shaking his hand when we were trying to establish diplomatic ties back in '83 or so.
It also possibly was a good strategy at one point. Does Jesse realize Iran was viewed as a bigger threat at the time?
