Argo

Post by hitchcockgreen »

Anyone heard of this movie?
Apparently Ben Affleck promised some kind of rewrite or fix after one of the embassy employees involved in the incident went on national TV to complain about the rewrite of history.

I know the disclaimer is "based on true events" but how loose can you be with the facts before you drop the disclaimer and just call it fiction?

That prediction was released over 10 mouths ago from paster lensy or what ever his name is...

•First it is ridiculed
•Then it is violently opposed
•Finally it is widely accepted as self evident

If you're familiar with Jimmy, you'll know he has been a little "peculiar" in the last several years. Also never considered much of a president, even by dems.

I do think the Canadians deserve a mountain of credit and gratitude, but the idea WAS formulated by the CIA.

If it were only Carter voicing this opinion I might as easily dismiss it.

That plan had Julian written all over it so I'm convinced it was Canadian.

You know they never would have made it out alive if it had been Ricky's plan.
