after murdering 32 people
at [[Virginia Tech]]

Iran-Contra affair

2007-04-04T02:56:27Z

Hooch: He certainly has been implicated by some

The Iran-Contra Affair (also called the Iran-Contra Scandal, the Iran-Contra Matter and Iran-gate) was the result of an illegal arms deal between the United States, its sworn enemy Iran and the Nicaraguan Contras, an anti-communist group operating against the [[Marxist]] government of Nicaragua. The Reagan Administration sought to hide evidence of its collusion in this illegal circumvention of a Congressional ban on arms support for Iran and the Contras by shredding tons of documents in violation of direct subpoena of these documents. Many details of the affair are still classified and the level to which money from cocaine sales in the US were used to fund this illegal war are shrouded in secrecy, though that this occurred is [http://foia.fbi.gov/filelink.html?file=/christic_institute/christic_institute.pdf well documented by the FBI]. Essentially, arms were sold to Iran against an international embargo which was spearheaded just years earlier by the United States. The proceeds from this arms sale were then used to purchase additional arms for the Contra Guerilla group operating in the mountains of Nicaragua. These arms were often used against civilian populations in the Contras' war against the government of Nicaragua.

After the arms sales were revealed in November 1986, President Ronald Reagan appeared on national television and denied that they had occurred. However, a week later, on November 13, he returned to the airwaves to affirm that weapons were indeed transferred to Iran. He denied that they were part of an exchange for hostages.

The Alamo

2007-03-29T19:14:48Z

Hooch:

General Santa Ana's 3,000 Mexicans attacked 189 Texans at San Antonio on February 24, 1836. Within 13 days, nearly all the Texans were dead, including [[Davy Crockett]], [[William Travis]] and [[Jim Bowie]]. The only ones who survived were Susanna Dickenson, her baby, and Travis' [[slave]]. The massacre at the Alamo was memorialized in the cry, "Remember the Alamo!"

The Texas Declaration of Independence declared:

:General Antonio Lopez Santa Ana ... having overturned the constitution of his country, now offers, as the cruel alternative, either abandon our homes ... or submit to the most intolerable of all tyranny ... He denies us the right of worshiping the Almighty according to the dictates of our own conscience.
