Too bad there's nobody here we could ask about the new Iranian president??

[Bleacher Creature]

Here's a thought, what about someone who might have dealt with the hostage takers? Someone who might have had negotiations with them.

OK, here's another. What about someone who once worked on behalf of the newly named "Greatest American" ever???

It would be funnier if it wasn't true.

1. Hmmm...

They have a picture of him as a hostage taker. His own website (according to the news) states he was a member of the organization that captured the hostages.

Check out the picture, it is him.

2. CNN did an excellent comparison

on wolf blitzer,and to tell you the truth I doubt if it's him.They look similar but if you look at the nose and ears they don't match,and the eyes are closer together.Maybe a brother or some relation ,but I doubt it was him.

3. I see this as a propaganda ploy on the part of

BushCo to invade Iran. Whether he is or isn't, isn't the point, it just makes it easier for them to get public support for something they intend on doing anyway. My two cents.

4. That's what I was thinking.

They need to get the people worked up about something.

Give the "enemy" a face.


:grr:

7. Putting aside my initial post -- which was just an attempt to be snide.

This is also EXACTLY what I was thinking. It's a pretext to invade.

5. after all, he's been mayor of Tehran for 2 years...

clearly he's a nobody beneath our notice...

If it turns out he's one of them...so what?

People need to go back and revisit the history a bit before they jump on the bandwagon.

After all Begin and Shamir were PMs of Israel...Bush is a drugtaking AWOLer, Reagan, Bush Sr, Bush Jr are war criminals, Kissinger is a war criminall...

6. I think his election was a reaction to the bullying by our own mr bush*

Whether that was him or not really doesn't matter. He's an elected president. Bush* was essentially a deserter, and he's our president.
IMHO

8. As a point of comparison.

Doesn't everyone dismiss what bush did in roughly the same time period. So what if he was a druggie and AWOL, he grew up.


On the other hand, the pictures don't look alike to me. The nose on one is hooked and straight on the other and the angle of the eyes are different. I think if he did that he would be proud about it and announce it. Tha would be a badge of honor there.
