All around loser and future President of Iran, Ahmadinejad, helps abuse innocent American embassy staff during the Hostage Crisis.

While you don't remember events like the above, apparently....plenty of folks still do.

That you want to be friends with these murderers is baffling to me. But, hey....free country and all.

How did Israel end-up holding the bag re: the West Bank? Surly there was some event you're not including in your post that could explain all this 'occupation' that has you so upset.

You are being selective but I wouldn't expect more from supporters of an apartheid regime, who do not condone the illegal settlements.

Lavon Affair. This is a type of regime you are dealing with:

So no clue, huh? I'll refresh your memory.

The West Bank was part of Jordan post WW1. No 'Palestine' existed. In 1967, Jordan invaded Israel and LOST...badly. Israel captured the West Bank. I see no reason for Israel to give an inch back without a peace treaty. But, The PLO/Fatah were at Khartoum (1967) with the rest of the Arabs...are you too history-challenged to tell me what the results of that meeting (post 6 day War) were?

Take a stab at it...

I don't think you even realise what you are posting...

The picture you are showing from Wiki above is during 1979 hostage crisis in Carter's era... It has nothing to do with Ahmadinejad (Not that it is important but it is a clear misrepresentation of events...) Furthermore all those hostages have long been released. So what is your point or lack of it!?

As BigGuy already stated there are some anti-iranian posters here with their own dark agenda. I am reluctant to say you don't know what you are doing but what you are doing is deliberate misrepresentation.

Yes....and the young Mr Ahmadinejad is in the photo...1979...US Embassy.

Utter nonesense! I don't particularly like Ahmadinejhad but your statement that Ahmadinejhad was the captor of Amercian hostages is false...

What were the results of the Khartoum Agreement, kactus. Direct enough for you?

You are the one who claimed that Palestine did not exist...

The article I posted states otherwise. Get back to me when you take a stab at it DOP.

So....what happened at Khartoum? Any clues?

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the 1979 hostage crisis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On June 29, 2005, shortly after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won the Iranian presidential election, several major news outlets publicized allegations that he gunned down several Americans in the 1979–1981 Iran Hostage Crisis.

Ahmadinejad and his political supporters have denied these allegations. Even his political opponents in Iran have specifically denied the allegations.

On June 30, 2005, US President George W. Bush declared that these charges were serious.[1][2][3]

The United States Department of Homeland Security initially found Ahmadinejad ineligible for a visa to enter the US, citing "reason to believe" that he was involved in the seizure.[4] The US Department of State interviewed hostages about their experiences.[5]

A later CIA investigation determined "with relative certainty" that he was not involved in the takeover. Another U.S. official said of the report that there was "no evidence" that he was among the captors.[6]

Yeah...that's the line from the Iranian Government. According to those guys, nobody was involved...lol.

But he was ID-ed by former hostages as well as Bani Sadr...oooops.

But good news: The CIA says he wasn't involved in the actual take-over of the Embassy....just the follow-ups.

The point is....Ahmadinejhad was not identified as a captor DOP...No matter how much you wanna twist that story....

In any discussion it is good to know your limits and admit when you are wrong!

As I've mentioned, he wasn't part of the takeover according to the CIA...but he was indeed there during the Hostage Crisis.

No that is not what you said DOP....Maybe you have a short memory. You posted a photo of him from wiki linking him with the captors in 1979 hostage crisis...

I posted the wiki link with the CIA confirming he wasn't involved....Anyone can see that here

No 'Palestine' existed.

No Palestine existed??? I refer to this article....

Ottoman era
220px-Akko_BW_13.JPG
The Khan al-Umdan, constructed inAcre in 1784, is the largest and best preserved caravanserai in the region.

In 1486, hostilities broke out between the Mamluks and the Ottoman Empire in a battle for control over western Asia, and the Ottomans captured Palestine in 1516.[71] Between the mid-16th and 17th centuries, a close-knit alliance of three local dynasties, the Ridwans of Gaza, the Turabays of al-Lajjun and the Farrukhs of Nablus, governed Palestine on behalf of the central Ottoman authorities.[72]

In the 18th century, the Zaydani clan under the leadership of Zahir al-Umar ruled large parts of Palestine autonomously[73] until the Ottomans were able to defeat them in their Galileestrongholds in 1775-76.[74] Zahir had turned the port city of Acre into a major power partly fueled by monopolization of the cotton and olive oil trade from Palestine to Europe. Acre's regional dominance was further elevated under Zahir's successor Jezzar Pasha at the expense of Damascus.[75]

I think we should be as friendly with Iran as we are with China and Saudi Arabia. How are they a "better" trading partner than Iran?

Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.

Big Guy....you're more than free to break bread with the murderers in Tehran. Getting me to do so will be another matter.

I have no intention to get you to do anything. You are set in your ways and good for you.

I have no intention or plans to "break bread" with Iranians but would have no problems in trading with them just like with China and Saudi Arabia.
