Iran Invasion?

Re: [spiers] Iran Invasion?

I suspect this is nonsense. I checked out that blog. The entry was
provided by Charles H. Featherstone. As a D.C. based journalist, he
should know that the Iranian Embassy is on Wisconsin, not
Massachusetts Ave. If he didn't know, he could certainly have
checked just by driving by. No wonder people are so uninformed about
current events. They don't bother to check facts before posting
anything that appears in their inbox that they are inclined to agree with.
