Clearer pics of that same man in the blazer, with his head at a different angle show I was wrong.
In the photo above, the media misidentified the man, the one in the red circle, and most of us thought it was the man on the far right instead, but newer pics show that is not him.
This clearer pic of the two original men identified show NEITHER match the new president in facial features. The man in the blazer right behind Barry Rosen clearly is not the new president, and neither is the man in the khakis right in front.
So, is it the man carrying the valise?
I dunno. 63 million people all the same ethnicity, I'm sure many look alike.
It makes no difference whether it is or isn't him. We have to deal with him as president of Iran. He has diplomatic immunity for the duration and possibly for the rest of his life. The only thing is that if it is him we know the positions he is likely to take in any given situation. I would wait for the spooks to speak up................
We need to be careful with the claims we state. The world is going to think as a nation we are over reactive, and not truthful.
Since,there was earlier talks of a possible invasion on Iran, this only makes us look like untruths will be told to have reasons to take aggressive action. With questions being raised on misintelligence information on WMD, (would be nice to know who the agents were, on another thread it was said he was LDS, but noting confirmed to this point).
We as a people are only going to look very foolish.
We are missing seeing what is happening to us in other areas. As I was working on my papers yesterday, I ran across this site which raises a few areas we need to be concened about:

it is a 6/30/2005 article on the "Chinese Influence on the Rise in Latin America". Saul Landau
Some statement in the article might make one a bit angry, but the overall piece does bring up a good point. We are wasting our time with false claims getting angry with misinformation, and letting other issues with will effect our nation, and yes, even "you" in the future, go unnotice.
Glad to see however, some keep their heads about them and think... you must have been a very good marine and man enought to stand by your thoughts.
We've been focusing on the wrong guy in the '79 pics...[Iran Pres.]
Thanks for the info, Race. No matter the identity, his statements indicate that he needs to take a dirt nap.
