1. Don't know about losing heads, but they wouldn't have been
released! Shrub doesn't seem to know anything but school yard "comeon take me if you think you can" ideas!

I really hate this radical crap! I never agreed with the pubs, but none of them were as crazy as this one!

2. I am sure knowing the Shrubbery he would have told the Iranians

"bring it on," and all the hostages would have ended up DEAD one way or another.

On edit Either that or he would have said that and they would have ended up CAPTURED.

3. The United States would have invaded Iran
to free the hostages. What else?

5. Was sure Carter did try something like that but it
wound up DOOMED TO FAILURE. The mission was known as OPERATION EAGLE'S CLAW, by the way.

4. We'd have invaded Iraq, or maybe Turkey
to make the world safe from terra.
