Reply #53: I don't think you have to worry about your post being too long

You are a gifted writer. You grabbed my attention, and had me totally engrossed in each word penned. Put that together with your knowledge of history, and analytical skills - WOW! I rarely look at the DU Journals, probably because there is already so much to read, but I did go look at yours, and after writing this, will go back and read more.

About Giuliani, this guy is really grabbing at anything to make himself stand out amid the crowd. Rudy's a pro at self-aggrandizement. I guess spinning the Hostage Crisis is so unique, in his mind, it's bound to make him a winner.

He's looking for a different and unused angle because I'm sure he and his handlers finally got the message that he can't win on "911", "911", "911", "911","911", "911", "911", "911","911", "911", "911", "911","911", "911", "911", "911", alone - most likely I didn't repeat "911", "911", "911", "911" enough to prove he is our hero and most qualified for POTUS :puke:

My bet, he won't use the hostage crisis for long, because the criminals who sold those arms to our avowed enemy back then, are the same criminals wanting a confrontation with Iran today. I could be wrong, but these war-for-profit men certainly don't want to remind the American people of their deceptive practices "Arming and conspiring with our enemies - is the tough Republican way." Especially when they're all acting so big, tough and strong wanting to go over and kick some ass with the lives of taxpayers and voters. Oh, what a tangle web they weave ...

Thank you for this articulate thread -
