MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell recalled on Monday some of the most impactful State of the Union addresses in the recent past, focusing primarily on George W. Bush’s post-9/11 speech in which he called North Korea, Iraq, and Iran members of an “Axis of Evil.” Mitchell ripped into Bush and former Secretary of State Colin Powell for approving that remark which alienated Iran, a country she said had been “more or less an American ally.” Washington Post reporter Chris Cillizza said that the “Axis of Evil” address was among the most important State of the Union addresses delivered in recent memory. “That

Andrea. The last time Iran was an ally Carter made a democratic foreign policy move that took care of that.

Andrea, please remove your head from your 3-point of contact. Iran has been a self-avowed enemy of the US since we allowed the fall of the Shah, and the return of the Ayatollah from Paris.
Read your history...even the libtard media had that one right, back in the day...
