HopsGuy Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Wow. How effed-up was that? I was a little kid (just slightly more mature than I am today) and remember having nightmares after seeing the hostages led out with those blindfolds. I don't believe in the devil, but if there is one I'm sure he looks like this guy.
molson_golden2002 Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Wow, that was something I remember very well. I remember watching on the Today Show in the morning the botched hostage rescue attempt
Wacka Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Expect something similar if the Messiah gets in. I expect the Misery index to come back and Obama wearing sweaters by the fireplace giving a speech on TV.
erynthered Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Just finished RR's diary again, always a good read.
Chef Jim Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 We had these hanging in our dorm windows in college.
KD in CA Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Just finished RR's diary again, always a good read. Always? How often do you read it?
erynthered Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Always? How often do you read it? I've read it twice, wise ass. You?
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Carter got the hostages back alive Linkie Poo
DC Tom Posted November 5, 2008 Author Posted November 5, 2008 Linkie Poo Reagan believed it strongly enough to send Carter to Germany to greet them.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 That's funny?? No, your Carter-worship is.
Wacka Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 The reason they released them just after noon on 1/20/81 was a final FU to Carter and knowing that RR would be sending in the troops the next week.

Wacka Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Which probably would have gotten the hostages killed Hey Molson, did you ever figure who crayonz was talking about in the ROTFL thread this morning??
blzrul Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 My cousin, retired USMC, gun-toting, crew-cut wearin wingnut was involved in that mission. He said once, and only once, that he believes the rescue mission was doomed before it began and that it was intentionally sabotaged intermally.
