Attack began. They were over the walls and soon the chain on the main gate was cut. This was filmed by a student. Here showing the area being overrun. The motor pool was behind the main gate to the embassy compound. To their right was the chancellory. The operational hub of the embassy that housed the Sensitive Communications systems. The heavy front doors of the chancellory had been bolted shut. Inside were 45 americans and plus iranian staff and some visitors. The marine guards inside fired tear gas to buy time. When it was realized help wasnt coming, one of the chancellory Security Officers went outside to try to persuade the students to leave. He was immediately captured. The besieged staff retreated floor by floor. One american, john limbert, who spoke farsi went out to try to save the life. He was immediately blindfolded and threatened with death. The americans surrendered. Just a portion of a canadian documentary which will be seen on cspan3s American History tv later on today.
Debates. If you are a republican. If you are a democrat. And 2027488002 if you are an independent. You can join the conversation on facebook at facebook. Com cspan. Here are some of the comments i have already come in. Michelle says, i learned more from the town hall formats. The debates are mostly candidates talking over each other and what they have to say amounts to not much more than a soundbite due to the limited amount of time they have to speak. And with the town halls, the average joe often ask questions the moderators dont ask. Learned if a nation of 315 million can only put forth a communist, a known criminal, and the keystone k ops as president , we are sunk. Our elitist political ruling class has just about achieved what the communists have been trying to do for 100 years. Person says, the debates are necessary if you have been paying attention to politics. If anything, they distort, not clarify. If you want to come in through the phone lines, 202 is the area code. 20274880
