You lying POS- when Reagan sold weapons to Iran- Iran was public enemy number one- they had took americans hostages and this was also the same time while we were supposedly helping Iraq- talk about loyalty- it was a huge embarrassment for the United States and made us untrustworthy.I am a veteran, a veteran of a war so you are not allowed to insult me. Isn't that the democratic line today?
By the way, those weapons were not obsolete- some of them were for Stinger missiles- that would have shot down an American aircraft just as easily as it could down a Russian built aircraft used by the iraqis- in other words it prolonged the war.
Also, what terrorist come out of Iran? Hezbollah??? Are you fucking kidding me? Iran is a Shiite dominated country- they are the enemies of both Al-Queada and ISIS. Please tell me the last time a terrorist was of Iranian descent?
The Iranians were helping the Northern Alliance defeat the Taliban way before the U.S got involved.
Send me a pm and I will brush you up on middle east history. Originally Posted by Luke_Wyatt

We had developed counter measures to those missiles that you're talking about as we do for all our weapons. Funny how you try to disguise the facts. What terrorists come out of Iran? Iran is a major sponsor of terrorism in the world. You think that they have a government building in Tehran that has offices for ISIS, Al-Quaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, and your momma? I suppose you've never heard of the axiom, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".
