HELL NO! I'LL NEVER FORGET!

Today is the 30th anniversary of the Iranian Muslim extremists overtaking the US Embassy in Tehran and taking American hostages that were held for 444 days. This occurred during the obscenely disgusting Carter administration and, in AWD’s opinion, was the greatest failure in US policy concerning Islamic terrorism. Why the greatest? Because of Carter’s non-response to the storming of our embassy…an act of war…other Muslim terrorists learned the United States was a paper tiger without the political will to destroy our enemies. We and the world have paid the price since! We have seen terrorists murder Americans in Aden, Tanzania, Lebanon, Kenya, Khobar Towers, and the World Trade Center in 1993 and the final attack on 9/11. All of our Presidents until George Bush responded anemically when they should have made this point: Harm Americans anywhere in the world and you will be annihilated. Even today we see Obama trying to call 9/11 the Day of Service. To me, it is the Day of Rage against Islamic terrorism!

30 years later and Iran is still a huge problem and major sponsor of Islamic terrorism worldwide. They have killed US soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. They also are developing nuclear weapons…if they don’t have them already. All of this is unnecessary and could have been avoided if Carter had the cojones to do the real thing and destroyed the Islamic terrorist mullahs 30 years ago! Every successive president has kicked the Iranian can down the road. Now we sit on the sidelines telling Israel they better not attack a country who has stated their goal is to wipe Israel off the map! Our current President is so pathetic I doubt he would do anything if Iran actually succeeded in wiping Israel off the map!

This is not hard. Savage Muslims respect only one thing….power. We have the power but not the guts to unleash our military to do what it does better than any other military in the world….kill people and blow things up. Instead, we see in Afghanistan rules of engagement that prohibit us from firing on the Taliban if they shoot from areas with civilians present. Guess the locations where the Taliban now shoot at us? Areas with civilians! And our military men are getting killed! Look, war is not pretty or easy but our soldiers did not choose the locations from which the Taliban fire. The Taliban did and they alone bear the responsibility! If we are not fighting the war..any war..to win and limit the number of American casualties, we should simply pull out! Somehow our Presidents have never learned that simple lesson. If you’re going to be a bear, be a grizzly!

I detest Iran and the Islamic thugs that run that country. I will never forget the humiliation they caused us 30 years ago. I was in high school but my anger still burns and I look to the day we can settle the score with those murderous mullahs in Tehran. Carter’s administration is an embarrassment to America. Obama’s is worse!
