It was 30 years ago today that a mob of Iranian students scaled the walls of the U.S. embassy in Tehran, took 52 Americans hostage and began a lengthy standoff that humbled the most powerful country on earth.
That's right...that other abject faliure of a Democrat President, JIMMAH! (Carter), watched as the US was humilated by the Ayatollah. The current president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, claiming to be a "student" was with the group that held the Americans hostage for 444 days. (The guy on the left of the blindfolded hostage in the photo) They were interrogated, made to fear for their lives and held in dark isolation during their imprisonment. JIMMAH! could do nothing to free them.
It was not until the election of Ronaldus Maximus that the Iranians came to their senses and released the hostages.
On January 20, 1981, 20 minutes after Reagan was sworn in as President, the American hostages were released by Iran into U.S. custody, having spent 444 days in captivity.
20 minutes!!!
ED NOTE: How long has president Zero, Our Hero, been "dithering" over the troop request for Afghanistan??
Watch for information on this little chapter of American history in the main stream media today...
