Reply #17: No, Bush v.1 didn't go to Iran.

[Silverhair]

At the time Bush was in a campaign. His every day was accounted for by the reporters that follow candidtates around everywhere they go. his eery minute cana be accounted for, reliably by many different members of the press pack.

According to that book, I don't remember the title or author anymore, Bush was supposed to have hopped an SR-71 and zipped over to Iran and back. It doesn't work that way. An SR-71 flight has to be planned well in advance and have numberous tankers at various midpoints to go from the U.S. to Iran & back. And the Iranian site would need the service equipment & technicians to put the SR-71 back in the air again. It isn't like jumping in & turning the key.

This does not mean that I support Bush or Reagan, but it doesn't mean that I am not going to try to accuse them of the impossible. However, I am talking to conspiracy theorists and I realize that for them it is an article of religiouslike faith for which no evidence is strong enough.
