Fallujah (Shades of Tabas / Carter's Operation Eagle's Claw)
Edited on Fri Apr-02-04 03:59 AM by Valerie5555
Wondered if anyone couldn't help but notice how there were "shades" of Tabas or Jimmy Carter's "Operation Eagle's Claw" ) in the Fallujah case, but only to the extent that the Iranians at the time desecrated and spat upon the burned bodies of the commandoes who died trying to free those hostages back in 1980, but I know they didn't go so far as to drag the bodies through the streets of Tehran, or even have the audacity to free their American captives and make them view the bodies before heading to the airport.


On edit another difference was that Carter had "enough of them" (or BALLS, that was) to admit responsibility for the whole Tabas incident.
