  1. Notice any difference in the description? So Obama's govt said Soleinami's forces were planning on bombing embassies in the US yet he was unworthy of killing. United States On 11 October 2011, the Obama Administration revealed the United States Government's allegations that the Quds Force was involved with the plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to the United States Adel al-Jubeir, which also entailed plans to bomb the Israeli and Saudi embassies located in Washington, D.C.[47][48][49] Allegations by U.S. President Bush In a 14 February 2007 news conference U.S. President George W. Bush reiterated his claim that the Quds Force was causing unrest in Iraq, stating: Mohsen Sazegara, who was a high-ranking Tehran official before turning against the government, has argued that Ahmadinejad does not control the Guards outside of Iran. "Not only the foreign ministry of Iran; even the president does not know what the Revolutionary Guards does outside of Iran. They directly report to the leader", he said, referring to Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.[78] Although Ali Khamenei is the ultimate person in charge of the Quds Force, George Bush did not mention him.[79] According to Richard Clarke, "Quds force reports directly to the Supreme Ayatollah, through the commander-in-chief of the revolutionary guards."[79]
  2. Venezuela has QUD's forces listed as a terrorist organization.
  3. Just as expected. Different opinions from both sides. Some in the GOP were saying the dems were almost combative right from the get go.
  4. Lots of money going into the markets each year. What else is it going into right now? IRA's, 401K's, Pension plans....you name it.
  5. When they held our diplomats hostage for 444 days they lost the right to those funds.
  6. Keep in mind these are the "Red Dawn Wannabes" as I would call them. Wasn't many but a few. Others were all but saying carpet bomb Tehran. Again not many but a few.
  7. Just search what movie you want to know what guns/weapons were used. Pretty detailed stuff.....even old westerns. http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Main_Page
  8. Yes sir. http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/War_of_the_Worlds_(2005)
  9. Lack of US body count is likely why Spin isn't on here spewing his TDS.
  10. Yes there were. Honestly I think Hillary may have taken Soleinami out as well. She would have done something to prove a woman can be a tough CIC. This would have been that perfect opportunity.
  11. Pretty sad how many American's wanted those missiles to kill our soldiers just so they could hate on Trump more.
  12. The US govt made the movie? Pretty sure Ben Affleck and Chris Terrio are Hollywood leftists.
  13. They were westernized under the Shah.....everything since has been because of the religious zealots. The people did not need to let it become a theocracy. That is what cost them their rights. What would Iran and the ME be today if they ousted the Shah and established a democracy? Well if that is even possible in some countries.
  14. Reagan immediately issued a formal apology. Again not enough but we admitted quite quickly of the horrendous mistake. Unfortunately the Captain did not face the consequences he deserved. According to the Iranian government, the cruiser negligently shot down the aircraft, which was transmitting IFF squawks in Mode III, a signal that identified it as a civilian aircraft, and not Mode II as used by Iranian military aircraft.[8][9] The event generated a great deal of criticism of the United States. Some analysts blamed the captain of Vincennes, William C. Rogers III, for overly-aggressive behavior in a tense and dangerous environment.[7][10] In the days immediately following the incident, US President Ronald Reagan issued a written diplomatic note to the Iranian government, expressing deep regret.[11] In 1996, the governments of the United States and Iran reached a settlement at the International Court of Justice which included the statement "...the United States recognized the aerial incident of 3 July 1988 as a terrible human tragedy and expressed deep regret over the loss of lives caused by the incident..."[12] As part of the settlement, even though the U.S. government did not admit legal liability or formally apologize to Iran, it still agreed to pay US$61.8 million on an ex gratia basis, amounting to $213,103.45 per passenger, in compensation to the families of the Iranian victims.[13]
  15. Just ask yourself how that story would have been presented differently if the same kid had a "I'm with Hillary" hat on. Would have saved some media outlets millions. The leftist MSM would have presented him as a hero and hope for modern day youth.
  16. That was really bad but I'd hardly say it was intentional. We paid each passengers family around $215K. A lot back then but nothing can bring those people back.
  17. It was pretty clear what this was about right away. TDS had already gripped many on here and across the nation.
  18. Every action? We killed one very bad dude and have placed sanctions on them. Iran would have zero sanctions on them if they simply stopped supporting terrorism and killing us and our allies. Prior to Soleinami I can't think of one military action we have taken against them since the failed hostage rescue.
  19. Don't shit yourself there were plenty of right wingers on Instagram last night hoping for war. It was disgusting.
  20. Jesus you are as dense as Ben. Show me where I want conflict or war? I simply said with Soleinami's past alone taking him out was justifiable. No different than OBL. I've been stating on here for years to end our deployment EVERYWHERE in the world however that doesn't mean we stop protecting ourselves.
