Iran has been an anathema to the western world since Jimmy "Lust in my heart" Carter sold the Shaw down the proverbial river. Instead of easing him out with a gradual transition to a secular democracy, he dumped him on his ass.
The latest president is somewhat suspect. is he a Terrorist? Or not. Well, one person thinks he is:
"As soon as I saw his picture in the paper, I knew that was the bastard," said retired Army Col. Charles Scott, 73, a former hostage who lives in Jonesboro, Ga.
Ok, so one person says he is. And for the LLL left, that ie hearsay and besides, he is from a red state. But the plot thickens!
"He was one of the top two or three leaders," Col. Scott said in a telephone interview. "The new president of Iran is a terrorist." . . .
Donald Sharer, a retired Navy captain who was for a time a cellmate of Col. Scott at the Evin prison in northern Tehran, remembered Mr. Ahmadinejad as "a hard-liner, a cruel individual."
"I know he was an interrogator," said Capt. Sharer, now 64 and living in Bedford, Iowa. He said he was personally questioned by Mr. Ahmadinejad on one occasion but does not recall the subject of the interrogation.
Col. Scott recalled an incident when Mr. Ahmadinejad berated a friendly Iranian guard who had allowed the two Americans to visit another U.S. hostage in a neighboring cell. Col. Scott, who understands Farsi, said Mr. Ahmadinejad told the guard, "You shouldn't let these pigs out of their cells."
Hmmm, now we have 5 total and that total is rising! Iran is of course denying it just as they denied they could do anything during Peanut Carter's tenure to reign in the terrorist. Even tho this clown was well known before the election (mayor of Tehran), no one said a word. For Diplomacy sake.
And as the Taliban and Al Qaeda streamed over the border to Iran, no one said a word or only half hearted ones.
And as Iran developes Nukes, the EU whispers "Bad Boy" and the US waits for them to step forward (a pathetic wish I know) and take this nuke bull by the horns.
Yesterday, London was hit. The French and Germans may still pussy foot with the Iranis. But somehow I dont think London is going to let the mad Mullahs and Terrorists (yes terrorists) of Tehran take another step.
bin Laden and Zarquawi are not persian, they are Arabs. but they just shot a heart shot into Iran, another Muslim country. And with each arrow that flies, they kill another golden goose along with hundreds of innocent civilians.
iran and Nukes now? Not on those people's dead bodies. Not unless you want to buy futures in Irani Glass.
