When will the killer rabbit show up?
“Was it because the Iranians sensed in the Gipper the kind of “strong horse” leader with whom it would be foolish to mess? You bet.”
As I recall, a reporter asked candidate Reagan, “What will you do about the hostages.” Reagan answered with absolute sincerity and authority, “I will get them back.” When the reporter pressed on how, Reagan just repeated himself. As I recall the hostages were returned immediately after Reagan won the election, as the Iranians apparently believed he’d take office immediately.
Former Iranians, now Americans, advised Carter to bomb a few oil platforms and threaten to keep it up and he’d have the hostages back immediately. But, Carter was the non-violent commander in chief. (Lower case intended.) Non-violence doesn’t work where hostage taking has been in the culture for 3,000 years.
Incidentally, for those who think Israel will be the target or even the only target, check out this picture:
In this speech Ahmadinejad gave not the American egg smashed on the ground? It makes me wonder who Ahmadinejad's real target is. An attack on the U.S. would certainly bring the hidden iman out into the open.
