the belief that Reagan made a deal with the Iranians to wait until Carter was out of office to release the hostages.

Yes. The accusation was yugely instructive for showing their mindset at that time.

That was their mindset THEN, that is their mindset NOW.

"We want to demonstrate ENGAGEMENT WITH THE WORLD"

The libs said it a million times, but we were LISTENING..?

Engagement means listening to or COOPERATING WITH your enemy:

THAT is what this "takeover" is.

To me this has all the spontaneity of High Mass at St. Anthony's.

It looks like one thing, and yeah, I loathe the people attacking our Embassy. But I know what this REALLY is.

"Engagement" means different things to conservatives and the insect that libs have become.

If you consider that the entire “Middle East” is on the Asian continent, then it should not be a surprise. Remember, the term middle east comes from the brits who considered Russia and the Balkans to be the near east, Iran and India Central Asia or middle east, and China and Japan to be the Orient to be the far east.

(6th grade geography memories for the win.)

"We’ve been down this road before..."

Yes we have and we better buckle up because it looks like we're heading down it again.

They really need something to take the eyeballs off their dirty deeds that are being exposed and there's nothing like a good war to change the subject.

Trump attacks - “We will get him into a QUAGMIRE..!”

Trump doesn’t attack - “We will turn him into a 1979 Jimmy Carter ..!”

That’s what they’re thinking in their desperation, that it’s a “win or win”.

Remind me again - how did Iraq become an Iranian satellite state? Oh yeah, George Bush and Obama gave it to them.

You tell me what you got against him. Is it because his parents are from Cuba?

Great idea! I’ve heard we have planes that can create the magnetic pulse without the bang.

“You tell me what you got against him. Is it because his parents are from Cuba?”

Most people here weren’t too happy with him LYING about being against Amnesty, to get elected, only to spearhead the effort in the Senate, once in office.

We also weren’t too hot about Rubio’s supporters funding the initial work on the Dossier.

Not to mention Rubio joining McCain in being DEAD WRONG about Syria and supporting the arming of the terrorists. He really needs to stop thinking he knows everything.

You are going to deny Bush set in motion the events which turned Iraq into an Iranian satrapy, and American soldiers in the South into prisoners of the Iranian Shia militias?

I wonder what Trump means by holding Iran fully responsible. Trump has shown that he can brilliantly leverage the US financial dominance in very creative and effective ways. Thanks to Trump, we are no longer dependent on foreign oil. Iran can’t survive without exporting oil. Iran couldn’t care less about how many people die, but they do care about money. I think Trump is going to hit them where it hurts.

... 2,000 invaders crossing over EVERY NIGHT

The REAL present danger. The place where our troops should really be.
They're just pouring into our country daily. Look around in your communities if you live anywhere near the southern border. This president MUST be reelected, and emergency powers assumed to slow down this invasion, or we're finished.

Even if Trump accomplishes EVERY SINGLE one of his promises but fails to build THE WALL...?

Then EVERYTHING he has done will, in time, be undone.

NONE of his efforts will matter one whit if he doesn’t do that.

In the fullness of time Trump will be shown to have been the LAST Prez believing in real elections and limited government.

The warning needs to be the Iraqi government leaders.

ISIS was just an example.

Why can’t they (SERIOUSLY!) put up a high voltage fence that if they touch it, they die? Of course, I’m one of those who think they should mine the southern border for similar reasons.
