He is the selected President of the United States and Commander in Chief. When he addresses the crowds in Warsaw and promises to defend every inch of NATO soil, should they believe him? When should we believe him and when shouldn't we believe him? Do the Russians believe him?
We did it with Saddam Hussein in 1991.
We captured Saddam Hussein and he was executed. I spent five years in Riyadh including during the entirety of Desert Shield/Storm.
I guess you never heard of the Muslim Brotherhood. Unfortunately, King Farouk and Abdel Nasser are not around for comment, both of whom were targeted by the Muslim Brotherhood. And that was many years before the Iranian Revolution.
Isolated incidents. You left out the assassination of Anwar Sadat in 1981 by by members of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. That was post Khomeini.
“We captured Saddam Hussein and he was executed.”
My God, you don’t know history. I specifically said 1991, which was Desert Storm. That ended with a negotiated settlement which left Saddam Hussein in power. Saddam Hussein was captured in Gulf War II, some twelve years later, and executed three years after that.
“Isolated incidents. You left out the assassination of Anwar Sadat in 1981 by by members of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. That was post Khomeini.”
Isolated incidents? One of them toppled Farouk’s reign! And, I didn’t forget about Sadat; I was pointing out to you some instances of Islamic Fundamentalism that changed or affected national governments BEFORE the 1979 Iranian Revolution, after you had said that it was because of the 1979 Iranian Revolution that Islamic Fundamentalist movements began to affect national governments.
