re: #435 quickjustice

The President doesn’t make statements under circumstance like these to “scare the mullahs”. He makes them to educate the American people in the history of our relationship with Iran, and to make common cause with our friends and allies in protesting the mass murder of innocent civilians in Iran.

In November of 1979 these people took over our embassy and held our citizens hostage. During that time we lost some brave men when a rescue attempt went bad in the desert, and there was also a photo of one of the hostage takers that looks an awful lot like their current president. We let them get away with that crap and they’ve been pushing the envelope ever since.

I don’t need no education.
